The End Truly Complete?

Hello, all! Tuna here, again! Long time, no see!

For those of you who know me well enough. I am an avid listener and big fan of everything Coheed and Cambria.

I just got finished watching the DVD that came with the Year of the Black Rainbow special edition. I almost cried. In the 30 minutes, I got to watch Claudio and the gang in their work in finishing the concept known entirely as Coheed and Cambria. With finding closure to the story line of the fiction the band was named after, there is no longer any visible direction for them to travel.

Near the beginning of this mini-documentary, Claudio stated that circa post-No World for Tomorrow, he hit a creative wall. He hit it hard. Almost to the point of giving up and leaving the beginning open-ended for interpretation. That, of course, wasn't the case after they have turned over probably the finest piece of the puzzle also known as The Amory Wars. Or as Claudio stated, "If there were no band tomorrow, this would be the perfect album to represent us."

So does this mean the end of Coheed and Cambria? If so, will Claudio finish writing all the books for us die hards or even fans of the novels to come? Also, is Claudio going to continue work on developing his side project, The Prize Fighter Inferno? That is another fantastic piece of his creativity. If they aren't through, how are they going to go about it? Will they be known as Coheed and Cambria anymore? There's just so many questions that are, unfortunately, to early in their phases to answer.

All I ask is that Claudio continues expressing himself. Whether it through his music, literature, comics, or whatever he deems necessary. Who knows, maybe his works will take form through motion picture (i.e. Amory Wars movie?, Kill Audio cartoon?, etc.?). Whatever it may be, I will remain a worthy follower. If it weren't for the current workings of Claudio Sanchez, I would not be the person I am today. My discovery of In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 in 2003 was a large turning point in my life which could all be discussed in an entire blog entry in itself. His creativity in investing his life experiences into this fantastic piece of fiction that has produced so many great albums, comics and now a book have all inspired me to take the direction in my life I have and am still aspiring to today.

Let's all just pray that whatever path Claudio may choose in the future will be for the best. Only then will the world learn of change to come.

Yours forever!
