Coheed and Cambria’s Claudio Sanchez sits down with Kyle Meredith to take us into Vaxis II: A Window of the Waking Mind, which continues the "Amory Wars" storyline.

Sanchez discusses going deeper into this new story thread while basing much of the foundation on his own experiences of being a dad, as well as creating a misunderstood character that gives a nod to The Who’s Tommy and the new musical territory that the band experimented with.

The rocker also talks about covering Kiss, Britney Spears, and their sequel song to Rick Springfield’s "Jessie’s Girl"; seeing film and television catch up to his style of fantasy storytelling; and feeling like an outsider for over 20 years.
