ImageNot just not a band for the prog-rock kiddies anymore, Coheed & Cambria delivered their metal leaning punch to the already initiated crowd of about 2,500 at a busy show at the Fillmore. Playing a loose and consistent 75-minute set, lead singer Claudio Sanchez (and his Cousin It style hair) dove into much of the band’s new material from their Good Apollo IV: No World For Tomorrow album that packed a punch.
Starting with the title track of the new record, Coheed showed off their guitar prowess and mixed it with an epic sounding moments at times. The band didn’t leave the fans hanging for long for older material, as the band’s first exposure catching song “A Favor House Atlantic” was very early into the set. Sanchez and company even gave the old school metal fans something to cheer about, as a faithful rendition of Iron Maiden’s “The Trooper” was thrown into the mix as well.
As the band dove into more accessible material such as singles “The Suffering” and the new single “The Running Free,” Coheed may have taken the reigns of this whole modern prog-rock thing. With System Of A Down on an extended hiatus and the Mars Volta and other prog-rock groups puzzling live audiences, Coheed’s straight ahead approach may just give them a leg up on their competition.
Giving Coheed some real competition, however, was the long time jam-hard rock outfit Clutch. In playing what was an unusually short 45-minute set for the band, Neil Fallon and his crew made sure they made the most out of it. Hitting on newer material such as the opener “You Can’t Stop Progress” and “Electric Worry”, as well as this reviewer’s personal favorite “The Mob Goes Wild,” Clutch gave the impression this was a co-headlining show and wasn’t going to play second fiddle to anyone. .
