Coheed and Cambria: The Afterman: Descension (Hundred Handed / Everything Evil, 2/5/13)
Coheed and Cambria’s Amory Wars might be one of the most ambitious conceptual undertakings in modern music. Spanning the majority of the group’s musical output and expanded in the form of both graphic and prose novels, it’s an epic space opera about a group of planets held together by lines of energy known as the Keywork. Conceived by front-man Claudio Sanchez, the story is also currently being adapted for a feature film by Mark Wahlberg.
Now anyone with an iOS device can join Claudio Kilgannon in his battle against the Archmage, as the band, in partnership with Man Vs. Games, has released a fighting game called The Amory Wars: Fall of the Keywork. Featuring 10 characters and multiple settings, it gives a new glimpse into the series’ fully developed mythology. Check out a trailer below and then head over to the App Store; it’s only $2.99.
