"The Afterman: Ascension," the new album from Coheed and Cambria in stores Oct 9th, 2012.
"Sirius Amory, the most celebrated astronomer/scientist in the alternate? universe of Heaven’s Fence is ‘‘The Afterman.’ Sirius (pronounced “Sy-ruhss”) is credited with the discovery of the energy force (known as The Keywork) that binds the 78 planets of these worlds together. He embarks on the greatest discovery of his existence, and possibly mankind’s. By doing so, what is truly most important to him begins to slip right through his fingers."
Rumored Track Listing
1. The Hollow
2. Key Entity Extraction I: Domino The Destitute
3. The Afterman
4. Mothers Of Men
5. Goodnight, Fair Lady
6. Key Entity Extraction II: Hollywood The Cracked
7. Key Entity Extraction III: Vic The Butcher
8. Key Entity Extraction IV: Evagria The Faithful

No Sentry the Defiant?
Sentry is going to be on Afterman: Descension which comes out in February of 2013
It will be on The Afterman: Ascension and has been renamed Key Entity Extraction V: Sentry the Defiant
it is on pirate bay just search coheed and cambria
I think it’s either been renamed or it will appear on the second part of the album which comes out next year.
I’m assuming that it will be on Volume II, Sentry. But this track listing looks quite promising.

here you go… cant fucking wait!
Saw a leaked track for it today on youtube, called afterman apparently. Unfortunately the rest hasn’t leaked yet.
That “afterman” track on youtube is not from this album. It is actually a demo for Prize Fighter Inferno called ‘Blood Machine’. That is why comments must be reviewed, so nobody points out that it is a lie!
FACT! The track floating around labeled “The Afterman” is actually the demo song “Blood Machine” by The Prize Fighter Inferno.
Absolutely cannot wait for this to leak!! LOVE Co&Ca
Neither can I. !!WOW!!
The “rumored” track listing is confirmed by the band.
Also, Domino the Destitute has a video, The Afterman is streaming on RollingStone.com, and Holly Wood the Cracked appeared on YouTube today.
Where does this album stand in the Coheed and cambria timeline??
It’s a prequel to Year of the Black Rainbow.
If i’m not mistaken, it’s before the YoTBR
It is a prequel to all of the other albums, so before Year of the Black Rainbow.
Way before every other album including the Black Rainbow prequel. It’s about Sirius Amory finding the Keywork.
sevenwaystosunday> it’s the origin of the universe of coheed and cambria. It’s about the discovery of the keywork, and the entities/souls living within. You can read more about it in some of the latest interviews, and videos made by Coheed on YouTube :-)
Can’t wait for this!

but this isn’t a fake is it?
No, the band released that through rollingstone.
Possible track list Decension:
Pretelethal
Sentry
The Hard Sell
Number City
Gravity’s Union
Away We Go
Iron Fist
Dark Side of Me
2’s My Favorite 1
How has this not leaked yet?!?!
I’m pretty sure that’s fake. If I remember correctly, iron fist was an unreleased song from YotBR, so it doesn’t make sense to include it in this story setting.
And if it is true, then this is one short ass double album O_o
Iron Fist wasn’t an unreleased from YOBR, it’s a new song. It’s possible this is it. And yeah, it’s a little short for a double album, but we’re also getting 18 songs all together so I’m still happy with it.
It’s the real names. The album’s artist, Nathan Spoor, put his paintings up for sale earlier today, and they were all named after their respective songs. The names from the first album were there so we can assume the rest coincide with Desension. Also, it was never said anywhere that Iron Fist was an unreleased YotBR track. If you look at the first videos of them playing it back from 2010, Claudio mentions that he and Travis wrote it while on tour for that album.
Does anyone have a link to a site that has the synopsis of the story? Cobalt and Calcium used to have it, but they got rid of it… I don’t know why, and I’d like to revisit it before the new album comes out. Any suggestions are welcome. Thank you.
I wish I knew too,but all I can say is that Claudio Sanchez stated that the concept was about The founder of the Keywork.
I know there is an angelfire (I know, right?) site that has a pretty accurate synopsis, but it doesn’t include Good Apollo II or YotBR.
When dis gonna leak yo!
It probably won’t.
So annoying. I saw a leak posted but it was fake -__-
This album won’t leak coheed and cambria paid for this album there self so it would have to be leaked by someone close to them! There are no outsiders including record company’s that have any access to this! GOOD LUCK FINDING A REAL LEAK!
Not true. Even though they went without a record label, they still sent out review copies to magazines, websites and bloggers. All it takes is one reviewer to release it.
A lot of stores should get their copies by the weekend too. If someone sells it early to the right person, you got yourself a leak.
well than we wait another 4 days, who cares
You mean another 8 days, right? It doesn’t drop until the 9th if it doesn’t leak.
no, in germany it will be released october 5th…
Holly Wood The Cracked leaked about a week ago, the rest will follow shortly I’m sure.
I heard from someone that “Holly Wood” was actually on a sampler CD that came in a magazine, which would mean it didn’t actually leak.
Just FYI I’ve been trying to update the tracklist and video but it hasn’t been working. The tracklist posted in the comments is accurate.

Is it possible to listen to the whole songs? If i play a song it only plays a portion of it (or you have to click like every 30 seconds..)
Can anyone get around this? It only lets you download 2 minutes of each. O.o
You can drag around the playable area. If someone was willing to drag around each song and splice the parts you’d have the full leak.
I’m too lazy to go through the trouble for something that I’ll have in 6 days with perfect quality tho…
HOLY. SHIT. Finally hearing Evagria the Faithful after nearly waiting an entire year since those YouTube teasers… That track fucking delivers hard. It’s groovy as fuck and sounds like Coheed from the future or some shit. Now when is this gonna leak somewhere that doesn’t require money? I already bought the whole thing, technically.
Of course Coheed’s management had this taken down. Let it go gentleman, it’s out there
I WANT THIS NOW!!!!!!!!!!
I hope this leaks soon its so freaking good
With stuff like Titus Andronicus and Converge leaking, I’m very surprised that this hasn’t yet.
found it over on getmetal!
