Coheed and Cambria - "Deranged" (2024 Mix) [Official Visualizer]

[@TheMecoolerest001]

For those that do not know. This song was written as a companion to Arkham City the video game by Rocksteady Studios. The song itsself is written about/as a companion to the Killing Joke. A famous Batman graphic novel written by Alan Moore. The point of the book is that anyone can have one bad day that will make you lose control and go deranged. The video snippets we see are from The Man Who Laughs a film adaptation of the novel by Victor Hugo. The appearance of Gwynplain as portrayed by Conrad Veidt served as the visual inspiration for the Joker from artist Bill Finger and writer Bob Kane. So by putting the Man Who Laughs as the background video they have brought their song full circle from the inspired to the inspiree.

[@recantedforger5850]

Even though every work is derivative, the creative process has the ability to build something even greater than each of its parts. I've heard the song before in the context of arkham city. Its strange how it feels both familiar and new. The original actor from this piece is truly haunting. Maybe Claudio was introduced to the connection or he explored it out on his own, but just seeing how the inspiration has carried through to our present time is impressive.

@@recantedforger5850its beautiful how art from bygone eras can still resonate and find new audiences 100 years after they were even made.

had to look it up thats amazing

Gee cool thanks for that pal

The Killing Joke is that comic if anyone reads the first comic and wants to check it out. Great comment Coolerest ❤

Coheed and Cambria is literally one of thee coolest bands ever.

[@MegaToren]

lol no

[@DemiHavok420]

I agree, but most people ibshow it complain that his voice is too high. The same people who will listen to led zeppelin without impunity. It's really just an excuse not to explore music. Music is more often than not appreciated for the wrong reasons imo.

[@jamesevans5230]

No gatekeeping or hipstering. Im happy ppl are hearing this for the 1st time that feeling is envious. Awesome band and song

[@C_R105]

Deranged is how I found coheed 10+ years ago. That Batman album was such a banger. Been in love with Coheed ever since.

[@_davidboxing]

It was Welcome Home in the trailer for the animated movie “9” for me

[@LN997-i8x]

It's the opppsite for me, I've been listening to them since Second Stage and I only just heard this song today.

[@Bareno91]

All those haunting layers of "We're one in the saaaaammmmeee, Deraaaannnged, HAHA, HAHA"'s at the end are really buried in this mix :( that part always sent chills down my spine especially since it all builds up to that moment. Personally preferred the higher pitched "world will prove empty, I promise you will always remember me" and "streets of misfortune, I pick the innocent from my dirty teeth" as the main vocal. It IS interesting, however, using that lower range as the main vocal on that part in a cool way though. The more I listen, the more it grows on me. Plus, that's how Claudio sings it live. Overall, great mix. Chris Pennie's drums sound crystal clear and huge. People don't give him enough credit for being their drummer for a hot minute.

[@Gudsur]

Ever since I found Coheed & Cambria back in 2005, I can't imagine life without Claudio and the crew.

[@PennyDreadfulllXIII]

Same

[@coreyazok2]

Was so pumped as soon as I realized the "visualizer" was just clips from The Man Who Laughs 😍 I finally made myself watch the film last year and it's such a heartbreaking story 😭 the sound of Deranged fit the feeling pretty well imo, and it was super clever of them to use this for the video, considering both the song and the films' connections to the Joker 😌

[@CoheedIKSSE3]

Just when you think Coheed and Cambria couldn't get any better, they gotta drop this Arkham City Gem on all of us. Thank you for going above and beyond for COTF

Just learned that this song was a bonus track for Batman Arkham City. This song is actually over 12 yrs old

[@n00kie]

Nice to know! The song catches the vibe of "In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3" if you ask me.

[@wildmatador]

is a new record? new album coming?

[@FrameworksPhoto]

@@wildmatador I'm sure. Usually when they release singles, that means something is coming

[@MCOmegaX123]

@@FrameworksPhoto I think they just re-released it because of "The Joke" (which people think is for the upcoming VR-only "Batman: Arkham Shadow", or possibly for "Joker: Folie à Deux").

That batman album is how I found Coheed 12 years ago

Can we start a petition to have this included in the new Joker movie or something so more people hear it, and it gets the recognition it deserves

That sounds beyond cool

The man who laughs is a fantastic film and this is a brilliant move by the band.

[@asmariamoon]

This music video inspired me to go watch the film. For those who haven't seen it, I highly recommend it. Such a tragic tale, and all the emotion is conveyed expertly, even without the modern convenience of sound.

[@Rycel2001]

Storytelling through silent film was a whole other beast, and the techniques have largely be forgotten with the advance of cinematic technology and the emphasis on spectacle for entertainment in film. Silent film actors required such discipline of movement and subtlety that they could convey entire stories through facial expressions and body language alone, sometimes even needing to emote through literal inches of wax and greasepaint. If you fancy tracking down some others, try the German Expressionist films of Robert Weine ("The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari") and Fritz Lang ("Metropolis"), the Soviet Montage of Sergei Einstein ("Battleship Potemkin"), and, of course, the truly insane camera and stunt work of Buster Keaton ("The General").

[@lisatheboywonder6744]

I saw it on KZbin a couple days ago it's a pretty good silent film another good one is Metropolis

[@Blinker485]

From first hearing you guys in 02, into watching you warped tour 03. A true testament of greatness through time!

[@johnnyertz3327]

The music tells its own story while Claudio just pours it out. Coheed's musicality is unmatched.

[@MattJerkhole]

Love this movie. One of my favorite silents. Funny to see it pop up in stuff like this now that it entered public domain this year.

[@LaFlaga]

I looked this band up after a friend posted one song I was meh on, but this one ohhhhh back to the band I loved back in the early 2000's. Outstanding Coheed and Cambria!!!

[@elephantspaintingelephants]

So technically there may actually be legal reasons they are allowed with Arkham Asylum as a creator. I know Warner Brothers is very lenient if you are “in the club” which they get kickbacks but are allowed to add to the canon as there are alternative universes coexisting in story

[@JG-fp7hm]

But this song was on the soundtrack for Batman Arkham city and the soundtrack just disappeared. I’ve been trying to find this song for 10 years now

[@itsyaboiherman]

Why?

[@mattbrown9631]

?

[@leonhart829]

@@itsyaboiherman If I had to take a guess, the original version of the song is written in the form of a letter portraying the Joker's thoughts from him towards Batman, as the song was originally part of the Arkham City Video Game back in 2012 or so, whereas now it's all about a deformed man falling for a blind woman who can't see his deformity, and a blind woman falling for him, she accepts his disfigurement, probably the only person to understand and accept, and then she gets killed in a cruel twist of fate, so it's a sad, sad story.. Both are disfigured, and the town goes insane, AKA deranged.

[@christopherhardy-jones771]

@leonhart829 I'm of the same thoughts, though not as eloquently said as you. Kudos friend.

[@davidstover823]

@@leonhart829 - or it could be the remastering of the song. The video is clips from the silent film "The Man Who Laughs" based on the Victor Hugo novel of the same name, and Conrad Veidt's portrayal of the mutilated and disfigured Gwynplaine was the inspiration for the Joker in subsequent years. As for Dea, the blind girl (played by Mary Philbin), you're correct...she was the only person Gwynplaine could love that he knew wasn't horrified or otherwise moved by his appearance.
