COHEED AND CAMBRIA are hard at work on their next album and frontman Claudio Sanchez is offering up a free download of an acoustic take on the new track ‘Sentry The Defiant’ — check it out here.

Despite having dropped two members in the past year, COHEED AND CAMBRIA’s new album seems to be coming along quite nicely.

Frontman Claudio Sanchez recently posted a video of him performing a song called ‘Sentry the Defiant’ on acoustic guitar, along with the message:

“Instead of making you wait until the album is released, I thought I’d share my excitement for this song with you now.
I decided with this piece to video document it’s creation. This is literally the first time I played the song through in its entirety. His name is Sentry The Defiant.”

The band has just been announced as support for Iron Maiden’s upcoming North American tour and will also perform as part of this year’s Hangout Festival in Gulf Shores, Alaska.
