Scott's Metal Track of the Day - The Crowing by Coheed and Cambria

Today's Metal Track is The Crowing by Coheed and Cambria. This is off of their 2003 album In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3. This album picks up 10 years after the previous album Second Stage Turbine Blade.

In this song Claudio is woken up from his sleep by Ambellina, a member of the Prise who has been cast out in order to become Claudio’s guardian on his path to become The Crowing. He is told by Ambellina of their coinciding fates, and that he must rise up and meet his destiny. He is told that he, The Crowing, is responsible for the end of the Keywork as God’s riddle had mentioned. He also learns of his family’s fate, and though he is skeptical, he swears to hunt down Ryan and seek revenge.
