Coheed and Cambria have launched their music video for the song “Ladders Of Supremacy” today, premiering on the massive anime site, Crunchyroll.com. The song is a progressive powerhouse and fan favourite from the band’s most recent album, Vaxis – Act II: A Window of the Waking Mind.
The video is directed by Darin Vartanian, AKA Pixelface, who explains that “the animation seeks to interpret chapter 8 of Vaxis 2 in a collage of high-fidelity 3D scenes, employing the subjective perspectives of each character’s mind’s eye. In this frozen moment in time, the characters bear witness to a comprehensive array of past and future events, intricately woven into the very fabric of their most crucial decisions.”
The band are fresh off their rammed tent performance at Download where The Guardian hailed them as “the closest competitor for “band of the weekend” [to Metallica] and their sold out shows in London and Glasgow performing “Neverender: NWFTWM”, which sees the band performing their entire 4th album, No World For Tomorrow, and several selections from Vaxis including “Ladders Of Supremacy.”
