Coheed and Cambria continue to compartmentalize, revealing that their latest musical work will serve as a fresh installment of an already begun musical statement. The new record, titled Vaxis II: A Window of the Waking Mind, is, as you'd guess by the title, the second installment in a series of albums that will eventually include five chapters.

Fans have already been treated to some music from the forthcoming set, which now carries a May 27 release. “Rise, Naianasha (Cut the Cord)” and “Shoulders” both reached audiences in the latter portion of 2021 setting the stage for the new album announcement. A full track listing and artwork for Vaxis II can be found toward the bottom of the page.

The ever ambitious band are also making sure that their diehard fans get a fully fleshed out music experience, also providing the opportunity to purchase a limited edition deluxe box set for the album. Included in the set are an exclusive 96-page illustrated hardcover novel “A Window of the Waking Mind” which was developed by Claudio Sanchez and written by his wife Chondra Echert with strikingly realistic color artwork by Chase Stone, an exclusive Quintillan Speaker Containment Unit Lamp (approx. 8” diameter), a 3-panel fold out poster of expanded album cover art, and the A Window of the Waking Mind Black Card which will allow all card holders early access to tickets and early entry to Coheed and Cambria headline dates.

All box sets will also come with a CD copy and download of Vaxis II: A Window of the Waking Mind along with an official Certificate of Authenticity. Furthermore, fans who pre-order the limited edition box set before Jan. 23, will receive autographed copies and have their name included within the pages of the accompanying illustrated hardcover novel. Pre-orders are currently underway for both the box set and the standard edition release, as you can find here.
