Coheed And Cambria Release Stand Alone Track 'The Joke'

Coheed And Cambria are sharing a rare stand-alone track, titled “The Joke”, out now. This new song is plucked from their 'Vaxis - Act II: A Window of the Waking Mind' album sessions; the band are happy for it to finally see the light of day.

Singer Claudio Sanchez reveals,

“The meaning behind The Joke is basically “if you need a punching bag, I’ll be that guy.”

The track is choicely paired with b-side “Deranged,” previously released in 2011 as part of the Batman: Arkham City soundtrack. "Deranged" focuses on the co-dependent relationship between Batman and The Joker. The song has been remixed and remastered for its return to DSPs after being away for a few years.

Both songs were mixed by Zakk Cervini and are available everywhere digitally via Evil Ink / Virgin Music.

The official video for "The Joke" is sure to entertain fans of Coheed’s The Amory Wars universe, as it features fan favourite character “Al The Killer” being bullied by a nefarious prankster.
