Coheed and Cambria have released the new song “Blind Side Sonny,” billed as one of their most aggressive tracks to date.

It’s the first tease from the band’s next album and follow-up to 2022’s Vaxis Act II: A Window of the Waking Mind. The track also introduces Sonny, a new villain in the band’s “The Amory Wars/Vaxis” universe.

Musically, it’s a roaring ripper of a tune, clocking in at just over two minutes and 20 seconds. Claudio Sanchez delivers an unhinged vocal performance that would be appropriate on a garage punk or hardcore song, as the band cranks up the tempo to mosh-inducing speeds.

“‘Blind Side Sonny’ is a song about revenge,” commented Sanchez in the press release. “What may seem like an innocent choice to someone could be the breeding ground of another’s malicious misunderstanding. Perception can be your worst enemy.
