Coheed and Cambria share “The Joke” video

Coheed and Cambria have released a video for their standalone single, “The Joke.” The track, along with a remixed and remastered B-side rarity titled “Deranged,” are taken from the Vaxis II LP sessions. The clip features “Al The Killer,” a character from Coheed’s The Amory Wars universe.

Vocalist Claudio Sanchez comments:

“The meaning behind ‘The Joke’ is basically, if you need a punching bag, I’ll be that guy.”

The group kicks off on tour this summer. Tickets are available here.
