Coheed and Cambria has been in the studio for several months now. That’s a pretty exciting notion to any fan of New York’s favorite progressive rock band. There have been questions, however, to who exactly is IN the studio with the band.

With Josh Eppard back in the seat, the percussion spot left open had been solidified. Bringing some hope back into the bleak outlook fans had when the in-between drummer, Chris Pennie, decided to move on to other endeavors.

When Michael Todd was asked to leave the group following his arrest last year, another slot was left vacant. Who was to replace such a pivotal member of the band? After all, Todd had been in the band since 1997. Well, after weeks of try-outs and some teasing, Coheed and Cambria has finally announced that Zach Cooper has taken the role left behind by Todd. A long time fan of the band, Cooper was called by Coheed’s manager for an audition and he couldn’t have been happier.

“Surreal is the only word I can use to describe it.” – Cooper

A video introducing the new bassist can be found after the bump. Who is excited to hear some new material?
