The label's Lyor Cohen says: "Coheed And Cambria have created a lane and legacy for themselves that is very much their own. Their DIY approach fits the ethos of 300. They've taken some brave artistic steps on this forthcoming new album and we are looking forward to sharing it with the world."

Coheed And Cambria mainman Claudio Sanchez recently revealed the album was influence by the personal issues and legal nightmare his family faced when they discovered their home was turned into a cannabis farm while they were away on tour.

The Color Before The Sun will be available via CD, digital download and a limited edition deluxe box set which provides additional goodies and is now available for pre-order at the band's website.
