Coheed and Cambria<\/a> and Mastodon<\/a> will coheadline a spring and summer tour, dubbed the Unheavenly Skye Tour, which features a unique twist for fans of the latter band. Where Coheed and Cambria will be supporting their new album, Vaxis \u2013 Act I: The Unheavenly Creatures<\/em>, Mastodon will be playing their critically acclaimed 2009 prog-metal opus, Crack the Skye<\/em><\/a>, in its entirety. Every Time I Die will open all of the shows.<\/p>\n

Tickets will go on sale on Friday at 10 a.m. local time, with presales happening earlier this week.<\/p>\n

Coheed and Cambria issued Vaxis \u2013 Act I: The Unheavenly Creatures<\/em>, last October, and it debuted on the Billboard<\/em> albums chart at Number 14. The release is a concept album set in the same universe as the group\u2019s previous Armory Wars\u2013themed releases. It\u2019s a prospect that seems unusual even to the band\u2019s leader, Claudio Sanchez. \u201cConcept records in themselves are not weird, but for a band to continue a concept over their discography can be a little intimidating to somebody on the outside,\u201d he told Rolling Stone<\/a><\/em> last year. \u201cIt\u2019s like a monthly issue comic book, like, \u2018I don\u2019t want to get invested into this 10 issues in. I need to know where to start. If I can\u2019t get issue one, I\u2019m just not going to read it.’\u201d<\/p>\n

Mastodon\u2019s Crack the Skye<\/em>, which came out in 2009, was also a concept album, inspired in part by the 1990 suicide of drummer Brann Dailor\u2019s sister, Skye. The drummer has since appreciated how the LP has helped some of their fans through tough times. \u201cComing out publicly about my little sister\u2019s suicide on\u00a0Crack the Skye<\/em>\u00a0opened up this whole new world of fan interaction and human interaction,\u201d he told Rolling Stone<\/a><\/em> in 2017. \u201cAfter shows, people would come up and say, \u2018I went through this. My brother just committed suicide, and your album [helped me].\u2019 I don\u2019t know if it would\u2019ve had the same impact for those people if I hadn\u2019t come out and explained what it was about. I think people seek [us] out as a Band-Aid or a remedy for something. Music is definitely healing.\u201d<\/p>\n
