Arkham City: Exclusive Coheed and Cambria Track

[@IDoNotPlayRuneScape]

We all comparing versions?

[@JoshisJoshisJosh]

Yuuuup. Feel like this one's got something a bit that the other one doesn't? Can't put finger on it though

[@MyBlindThirdEye]

Hell yeah

[@Lucipurrrrr]

​@JoshisJoshisJosh This one is a lot more theatrical and has a much more unique sound in my opinion. Will forever prefer this version.

[@_Mr.Tuvok_]

This one is more idk, ‘punchy’? Like, there’s more energy in it or something

[@nathanielpizano]

The ha ha's are different, like the timing or something

[@xXxNoxInvictusxXx]

My friend, an Iraq combat veteran, has been a coheed fan his entire life. His last leave, I had a surprise for him. We were going to see Coheed live. But when he got back, he broke some horrible news. He had lost his hearing in an IED explosion. He still wanted to see them, so we went. You know what he did? He sang every goddamn song. I would tell him which song they were playing, and he sang each one.Fuckin' amazing.

[@elijahlees8655]

Hopefully they was able to repair his hearing with hearing aides.

It's funny you say that, since Coheed is dead.

Makoto jokes on you they just released a new song and announced a new Amory Wars album ;)

[@ShuuyaKanoSama]

That still doesn't change the fact that Coheed Kilgannon is dead.

I wish this played during the end credits of the game. It is really fitting.

@Seegh Hyle mate that was posted 4 years ago

[@MoPisnotstupid]

@Seegh Hyle on top of flowing very well lyrically, it manages to capture the essence of how Joker views himself. A looming, smiling menace on the every day man.

[@jonerbonerlol]

Lane Holliday 👌

[@ryanmaxwell5076]

@all not to mention how it epically displays the amazing way Batman and the Joker are juxtapositioned. Both are literally crazy men hell bent on forcefully changing the world in their image. Only a few morality differences separate the two. They are both examples of your fate following “one really bad day.”

[@MedihaO94]

Claudio has such a unique voice. It's amazing. Every song Coheed and Cambria has made, I'm amazed by.

[@ellobo1991]

Their relationship is so symbiotic, you can't really have one without the other. This song es perfecto!!!!!

[@psharpe5904]

These lyrics... to this day... weave so well into the Batman universe...

[@readysteadygo125]

i love this song. it's melancholy and dark, which fits Batman. and i like how it deconstructs the nature of batman's relationship with the joker, and gives it a kind of sick, romantic twist. it's almost like an ode from the joker to batman.

[@Blade2xtremeFTW]

One Among the Fence!

[@munnypantz]

Who here wants to hear a whole concept album based on batman from Coheed!

[@riversilas]

I would love that

[@iammaximumstupied]

It would be like when Iced Earth did a whole album on Spawn, would be great

[@timothytoune862]

Yes please!

STOP IT Claudio! I can only get goosebumps so many times!!!

[@PlasmaSnake-w4z]

Title is the state of r/BatmanArkham.

[@pyeltor]

One of the greatest attributes about this song is the fact that it really puts Claudio's amazing vocals on display as well as his passion.

[@iridium5122]

This song from my favorite band of all time captures the true essence of everything that makes us humans spiritual beings. The eternal conflict of Justice, righteousness, and truth versus, dissolution, deception, and lies. It's the same story told for thousands of years. We are all familiar with. They will never have a Victor because they weren't meant to be. We will always have 50 percent vs the other 50 percent. It is eternal.

[@JoeKer1989]

Iridium Cor i was thinking the same thing

[@JamesMitchell737]

I saw Coheed and Cambria play this live when they toured through my hometown. It was really awesome. Had more power live than the recording lets on. Such a banger.

[@stsars13]

This is a beast song. It really gets the Joker and Batsy perfectly for this game and how the Joker feels about their relationship. They need eachother and without the other they can't really be the same...awesome song from an awesome band for a awesome game.

[@AComellas90]

3:35 onward is classic coheed. and the end of this song makes me think that the second half of in keeping secrets is about to start

[@mrsaturn12]

Took about 2 listens. Now I'm in love with it. Everything Coheed writes is pure musical genius. They'll always be my favorite |D

[@DanayaCat]

So this lyrics is written from the point of view of Joker to Batman - yeah?

[@KoolAidKooler]

Yes.

Best part "ha! Ha! Ha!" :D love the pashion in this song

[@KairosTemporalis]

The word "Masterpiece" is thrown around a lot these days. A masterpiece captures a moment, event or tells a story and is able to draw emotion from the person watching or listening. This song regardless of how you feel about Coheed does exactly that. It tells the epic story of these two iconic characters from a perspective that can be understood by anyone that knows anything about "The Dark Knight" From the days of Keaton to the now Beal and comics themselves. This song captures it all

[@UltimateCerberus666]

This is absolutely without a doubt the greatest most beautiful song ever written hands down it brings me to tears everytime

[@hmmmmmmmmmmmism]

Love it. Coheed are certainly an acquired taste. Very few people like them on their first listen. All of their songs are varied and technical, never boring...

This is my first time hearing it since it was just released on Spotify! Is this song really 12 yrs old?!?!? No way 😭

[@T0X1CJ0K3R]

​@connstryker1907 yeah, this song was originally made for Batman: Arkham City which came out in 2011, Coheed released a mix this year that sounds a lot cleaner but this is still a better version in my opinion as it's more theatrical.

This game has such an amazing soundtrack. Coheed, Panic! at the Disco, The Years, The Heavy, they all made perfect songs that matched this game perfectly.

[@JIRWINKOGaming]

This so should've been the song for the credits in Arkham City.

[@jobesjo2778]

A To Z Gaming Couldn't agree with you more. I remember the first time I beat the game I was expecting to hear it during the credits and needless to say, I was very disappointed.

[@toutkoush1262]

Coheed has not remained the same since their early days. Each album brings something completely different to the table. I love Second Stage, In Keeping Secrets, the Good Apollos, YOTBR.... All of them. They evolve with each album while maintaining their musical and artistic integrity. So original and unique.

[@caecilliidae]

ASDFASDF Holy shit, two of my favorite things put into the same beautifully composed wonder. This makes for one HELLUVA DAY. Hell to the yes.

[@sonicfast17]

"While you clean the streets of misfortune, i pick the innocent from my dirty teeth" amazing lyrics

[@JiuJitsuTrashcan]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, this really captures the relationship between Batman and the Joker. It's like a yin and yang dynamic; while they may be opposites, both are elements of nature, dark and light. All things are dualistic and yet one. This song really makes you feel for both characters and that exact opposition, yet composition aspect of their morals and ethics.

[@FMPed]

Dude... I almost cried because of this song... Coheed and Cambria are so freaking awesome.

[@Cnoble59]

Honestly, this is the first song by Coheed and Cambria that I've actually sit down and listened to, and I've got to say... it's great. It's dark lyrics and themes are addicting, not to mention how the song itself almost perfectly summarizes the unique, ongoing relationship between Batman and the Joker. I believe that the singer voice also helps to enhance the overall theme/direct of the song since it could be characterized as being very Joker-like.

[@TRAVISHOWRYMUSIC]

I've been a Batman and Joker fan since I was a little kid with mask of the phantasm on vhs and I cant believe I just found out about this album yesterday. I've played Arkham City too many times to count since 2011 and I missed this completely. I listened to the entire album and it's badass in all but man, this track, I've listened to this one the most. Is there anything like this for the other Arkham games ?

[@SuperMKi1]

as far as I know definitely not for asylum. I sincerely have wished for an album for arkham knight, but I really do not know.

[@TRAVISHOWRYMUSIC]

oh ok. thanks man, appreciate the help dude

[@SuperMKi1]

you're welcome :D

[@TylerSampson51]

Hey if you are interested, The singer writes comics. One of them is heavily inspired by the relationship between Batman and Joker, called "Translucid" It's really good.

[@chrisnail4979]

No, not from the soundtrack. Check out the band’s other work though. Literally every single one of their albums is a master of its craft.

[@ImTheInf3rn0]

best birthday present ever! a new Coheed and Cambria song! keep it up Claudio and Co. you will forever be my favorite band!

[@Phaiyte]

Claudio successfully captured the characters of Batman and the Joker at the same time. This just seems to fit the struggle between them so well.

[@gonzotolkien]

Coheed and Cambria singing about Batman...Nerdgasm. This is why KZbin needs a repeat button.

[@TankMD1]

Coheed and Cambria is one of the best bands around today. There music is progressive and technical. Claudio's vocal abilities are phenominal, as well as on guitar. Claudio is a genius when it comes to telling a story and being original.Check out his original comic books. Amory Wars and Kill Audio. This song fits well with the Batman story and the Arkham City. Nice work once again Claudio and the rest of Coheed and Cambria!!!!!!!!

[@mrhayhurst]

Whoa! I like this song! Even though it's for A.C. it totally fits in with The Afterman. Coheed is cool because they aren't "Big" but their fans are like crazy about them. Those Neverender shows in 2014 are all sold out!? Who else got tix to them before they were sold out??

[@bronco24]

I got tix as soon as I could! BTW, how exactly does this fit with Afterman? Do you mean the musicianship or thematically?

Joker will always be the best batman villain. He is the only one who understands how crazy batman must be to do what he does. Joker accepts his insanity while batman fights against it. The struggle that batman goes through will always be amusing to joker.

I'm not a fan of Coheed and Cambria but this a great song. It really fits the mood of the game and the overall darkness of Batman and you can tell that Claudio really takes the source material to heart.

[@Josabeech]

"To them... you're just a freak... like me..."

[@ryaneverett8284]

How r c&c fans weird as shit?? Isn't that a good thing I mean everyone I meet at these shows r really cool people. Intelligent, friendly, deep thinkers with perspective that pretty much sums up most of them.. maybe u lack empathy and understanding of the concepts so the music doesn't resonate well with you?? They nailed this song in every aspect its supposed to symbolize the mutual dependence of Good and evil. While joker is bats' nemesis, nobody understands batman like he does. They pity but love one another in a brotherly way and its very very personal.

[@strtg3y3r]

Please tell me you've read Translucid. If you haven't you'll love what Claudio and Chondra have to say about Batman and The Joker.

[@lilkamarino3945]

Because a few of you I personally know act like Claudio Sanchez is God and everything Coheed is a religion. Yes, Coheed has a lot of depth, has a fantastic backstory, and is overall a great band, but the devotion some Coheed fans have is terrifying. I only see this really in the Coheed fandom. It's great that a band has done a lot for you, because music is all about touching people, but this band has some obsessed people to the extent that I wonder how Claudio and Chondra sleep at night. I consider myself a fan, but I don't advertise it often for this reason.

[@ProjectGee.]

N. Lilka Marino naah dude..every famous band has obsessors...not the band's fault

[@Frost_2113]

In c̶l̶a̶d̶u̶i̶o̶ Coheed we trust.

[@lilkamarino3945]

You just proved my point for me, so thanks. I lack empathy because I don't want to be associated with a fandom that has freaked a musician out to the extent of writing a song about it (Holly Wood the Cracked)? Right, okay. I'm not a moron. I like the music and know what it's about, I just have other things going on than worshipping the ground a musician walks on just because he makes good music. Good on him for helping people, but that doesn't make him a freaking deity who can do no wrong. That sentiment with Coheed fans makes me not want to associate with them. Sorry if that bothers you.

would you say almost a "love" letter? that's how i always thought of it, with how many times he's said there is no way one could essentially live without the other. they're fated to be each others worst enemy but also the person who understands each other the most. i feel like that was terrible English but i'm too tired to care if it doesn't make perfect sense.

[@joannhogan8193]

[@tumorboi3651]

[@AtGunPointStudios]

It was written to fit Arkham CIty as well as the Amory wars. I believe its about the Joker because he is the one enemy that has effected batman the most. and honestly he'd be nothing without the Joker.

[@vernonhampton5863]

I think this song goes well with Death of the Family as well as Arkham City

[@ComradeCrab93]

Death *in* the family

[@vernonhampton5863]

I think it's more appropriate for Death OF the Family since the Joker's main argument was that the Bat Family was dragging Batman down while he gave him a reason to exist. It was really REALLY, twisted.

[@jonroscettiarts]

I heard this song and immediately thought of Scott Snyder's take on the character as well.

[@hazenum76]

This song gave me the same feeling when I first played In "Keeping Secrets..." When the riff played at the beginning of that song, I felt that it was... it! Trapped in the story that was epically portayed in that song... this song is just as beautiful and just as heart jumping. SO good... first time in a while that Ive had that reaction from them.
