Unheavenly Creatures is an amazing album! Dark Sentencer has to be one of my favorite songs on the album

[@StellaWasADiver_33]

Man.... this song, no this album brings back so many childhood memories. My parents named me Cambria after the band and I've been listening to this band since that day I was born. I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!🤘🤘🤘🖤🖤🖤

[@DarranKern]

Wow

[@originalzearoh-0013]

Omg, that is so freaking awesome... it totally puts my age and life into perspective lol. I would totally copy off them too if, 1. I ever wanted another kid, and 2. If my lame husband would ever let me... which he never would. And dude that's love.. me being w a man who is like "ehh they're ok" lol

The harmonies in this song doing to something to me. It’s like I’m listening to some melodically advanced alien communicate with my nervous system

[@malignantastralinfestation5834]

Claudio really knows how to hit you with the vocal one-two

[@scardman07]

This song has always given me a similar sensation as waking from deep sleep suddenly

[@ghostyFPV]

"I overheard.." like a spear in my heart. I've always loved the harmonies on this album.

[@elftower907]

exactly such is the power and frequency of claudio's soul

[@debmalone2867]

over and out Connecticut!! damn i think I blew my ear drum out listening to this lol

[@m47t84]

The drums on this song are crazy... and I'm not sure but I think he mainly plays single kick. The gallop and ghost notes combo is almost like a blast beat lol. Wicked. Not to mention how goooooodddddd all the instruments sound.

[@anthonyjones3835]

Yup. Josh only uses a single kick pedal

[@anthonyjones3835]

Wheres the ghost notes in this song........i dont hear them.

[@iknowyoureright8564]

@@anthonyjones3835 @01:20 repeated.

[@avramnovorra]

I agree with the whole gallop and ghostnote combo, it just adds so much tension in those 2 times Josh plays it. It very well is one of my favorite uses of ghost notes ever

[@heathermyrex9107]

This Hook "Misleading trust into a relationship that makes no sense Over and out, Connecticut" made me play it over and over.

[@SolutionEpsilon0]

The last minute and a half is one of the greatest, most powerful climaxes in a song I have ever heard, my god

[@nobiazcustomsinc5030]

Ill never forget...i ALWAYS played this intro riff to warm up my fretting hand before I played a set with my band...One night a group of ppl recognized what it was and man ill tell ya it was one of the best moments ive had on stage lol

These guys are incredibly talented, insane arrangements.

[@DarkMasterTV99]

Heard it 2007 but ignored it, now I'm starting listening 2023 ❤️

[@pasteleptic]

4:15 on up is pure creative musical artistry. The melody and lyrics from this point are one unadulterated eargasm.

[@theycallme_sta_cey]

"Oh, this isn't love there are on the Backend of Forever!" Great lyrics.

[@MrRhemmy25]

I'll bet this is the ABSOLUTE most enduring song to play live in their entire library. Just ask Claudio.

[@vannhenry5432]

Nearly 2021 and this song is still great.

Cos it hits us all in the feels, brother!!

[@VictheGeneral]

I don't think I truly appreciated this song until events in my life ended up reflecting it almost exactly. "The end of my day I found out you weren't worth what I thought of you." says it all for me.

[@Apa-is2jz]

Happy 19th birthday to this great song and album! Over and out, Connecticut!!!!

[@timothybanks2735]

Got this on repeat lately

[@s_ds8752]

In case you guys didn't know, all "The Camper Velourium" songs are about a serial killer murdering women who resemble his ex. "A Favour House Atlantic" caps off this arc.

[@dirtclodboi]

Sɴᴇᴋ_Dᴋʟᴇs i didn't know.....whats your source....

[@s_ds8752]

The Amory Wars comic series written by Claudio Sanchez himself.

[@dirtclodboi]

Sɴᴇᴋ_Dᴋʟᴇs im familiar with his comics but i didnt know if it was based off a real world serial killer. So it still id based off the armory wars then? Goood

[@s_ds8752]

All Coheed and Cambria albums, from The Second Stage Turbine Blade to The Afterman: Descent, are set within the Amory Wars universe.

[@Dunnerski]

@@dirtclodboi Its Al The Killer, a fictional killer

[@MarylinMonroach]

My favourite C&C song. It reminds me of my fav Stephen King character, Harold Lauder. IYKYK

[@profmembrane8501]

This is more of a darker glimpse into the mind of Al the Killer. Since Al's character is portrayed as a Han solo-ish character with charm. As shown in Faint of Hearts, then this song is more of an unraveling of his mind, then...the true Killer is shown in the third part. Al the Killer

[@CatalystEXE]

It's like Han Solo if he were a normal human being and not a sociopath like he is in the movies. Han saw a lot of crazy shit, If he were an actually faceted human being, the trauma he's witnessed along his adventures would slowly eat at him until he lost his marbles. I mean cmon, he's killed so many people in his wacky space adventures. Combat veterans IRL come home with terrible mental illness and serious chronic trauma responses and I'm sure they've been through less than Han on his galaxy-spanning crime spree. He has to be a psychopath to keep his demeanor so calculated. Sorry, mini-rant about Han Solo over. This can really apply to any fictional character, though. They're not supposed to be realistic sometimes. But when Claudio writes his characters, I think he takes extra time to add a layer of depth to them. A layer that deals with anger and grief, and extreme pain. Something a lot of writers choose not to include because it implies weakness.

[@ziggymarie13]

Pure nostalgia

[@augursaudiocult]

This is too good 🔥

[@stevens7518]

How this song relates to the story of Armory Wars: Ambellina’s presence on the Velorium Camper stirs up memories and Al begins to to think of past relationships. He obsesses over Ambellina, who tends to avoid interaction with him. He works up the situation in his head until he feels completely rejected by her, as he once was, and swears never to love again. Although there have been several popular fan theory over the years, it's really just about Al's creepy attraction to his ex-girlfriend, Luci. While Ambellina is on his ship, it's never shown that he falls in love with her. He does try to rape her though, but that doesn't get far, and that's in the next song anyway.

Thankfully, a fair amount of the ad revenue goes to the actual artists (yay royalties), so looking at the ads, and liking the videos will actually end up supporting Claudio and co. monetarily.
