Columbia Records is proud to announce that Coheed and Cambria will be supporting Linkin Park on all dates of their upcoming national tour. The tour goes from February 12 to March 10 and will be hitting 19 cities, including Madison Square Garden in New York. The dates come on the heels of Coheed’s successful sold-out 25-date national headlining tour that wrapped at New York City’s Roseland Ballroom on November 29, 2007.
In their live review of the Los Angeles show at The Wiltern, the “LA Times” raved:
“Self-indulgence is frequently seen as a crime in modern rock music, but without it there would have been no Led Zeppelin or ‘Sgt. Pepper,’ no Ziggy Stardust or System of a Down. Overreaching sometimes pays off. And few young bands reach further than the prog-metal act Coheed and Cambria, for whom the extremes of time and space hardly seem to be enough,” and concluded that the band had “epic sound and fury.”
Coheed are touring to support their fourth record, “No World for Tomorrow,” which debuted at #6 on the Billboard top 200, giving the band their highest debut in their career as well as its highest chart position. Radio continues to show huge support across the country for the album’s first single, “The Running Free” (charting on both Alternative and Active charts) while critical response to the album has been fantastic. Besides being highlighted in fall preview features in “New York” magazine, “USA Today” and the “New
York Times,” “Blender” magazine said that with the release of the new record, “Coheed have found their sweet spot.” David Fricke in “Rolling Stone” noted the band’s “impressive resolution in the decisive pop arc of the mutating riffs and slippery time signatures,” and concluded, “there is plenty worthy of rewind here.” “Revolver” gave the record four stars in their lead review and said that, “this record feels like the beginning of something new,” as it marks Coheed’s “ascent from the geek-metal underground to the heavy-music mainstream.”
Coheed and Cambria (Sanchez - vocals, guitar; Travis Stever - guitar; Mic Todd - bass) spent the first half of 2007 working on “No World for Tomorrow” in Los Angeles with producer Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Rush, Stone Sour) and mixer Randy Staub (Metallica, Nickelback). Coheed recruited Taylor Hawkins from the Foo Fighters to play drums on the record, while ex-Dillinger Escape Plan drummer Chris Pennie is now a permanent fixture in the band and has taken their live shows to new heights.
“No World For Tomorrow” has sold over 100,000 copies in four weeks, and the Linkin Park dates mark the first time the band has played in arenas.

NEW YORK, NY–(Marketwire - July 17, 2007) - Finnish rockers HIM are set to release their second full-length album for Sire Records, entitled “Venus Doom,” in September 2007. The band recorded the album with producer and long-time friend Tim Palmer (U2, Switchfoot and Hot Hot Heat) and co-producer Hiili Hiilesmaa at Finnvox Studios in Finland. Palmer also worked on HIM’s 2005 album “Dark Light.”
With “Venus Doom,” the band’s sixth album, HIM fans can anticipate a decisively heavier sound, influenced by Black Sabbath, old-school Metallica and Soundgarden among others. HIM is out on the road all summer with Linkin Park on the latter’s Projekt Revolution tour.
The cover art for “Venus Doom” was painted by artist David Harouni. Singer Ville Valo purchased one of Harouni’s paintings at New Orleans’ Harouni Gallery (where the artist represents himself) and later asked Harouni if it could be used as the cover for “Venus Doom.” Harouni (whose work can be viewed at http://www.harouni.com) agreed and now counts himself as a HIM fan. Also we now have recent photographs taken by renowned photographer Perou, who has also shot Marilyn Manson, Sigur Ros, and David Beckham.
Hailing from Finland, HIM have been on the rise since the early ’90s. With a blend of goth and hard rock, the band, which features Valo, Mige, Linde, Burton and Gas, has taken the music world by storm. Their mélange of melodic hooks and melancholy lyrics made them a fan favorite in Finland where they sold out clubs before ever releasing an album. The HIM craze spread to the U.S. two years ago with “Dark Light” selling more than 45,000 records its first week of release and attaining gold status, making HIM the first band from Finland to sell 500,000 albums in America.
Having completed two triumphant headlining tours with sold-out dates across the country, be sure to catch HIM this summer on the main stage of Linkin Park’s Projekt Revolution tour.
