COHEED AND CAMBRIA unveil animated video for Ladders Of Supremacy
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.”

Named one of Consequence’s “Top 20 Metal & Hard Rock Albums of 2022 (So Far),” Vaxis - Act II: A Window of the Waking Mind has been garnering critical acclaim from around the globe. “It would be hard to find a rock band with as much of an ambitious, all-encompassing artistic scope as you find with Coheed and Cambria,” affirmed Juxtapoz while Kerrang! attested “Coheed and Cambria continue to boldly go where no band has gone before, and long may it continue.” Revolver noted “Vaxis - Act II is kind of a perfect record for the pandemic age: an ambitious and truly epic song cycle that you can get thoroughly lost in,” and SPIN praised the collection for “flirting more overtly with dance beats, R&B, and symphonic music.”
