Coheed and Cambria at First Avenue, 2/10/13

For the encore, the band slowed it down with the acoustic and lovely "Wake Up," proving that they weren't just one wall of sound. "Key Entity Extraction I: Domino the Destitute" is the first installment of the "Key Entity"s and told the saga in the seven minute narrative. For those brave enough to venture out the snowy evening, they were treated to Sanchez's grand guitar solo on "Welcome Home," classic Coheed and Cambria.

Critic's bias: I honestly have heard the band's name a lot, but have never heard their music before. They are the epitome of metal in the new century.

The crowd: More metalheads than bros.

Overheard in the crowd: "His hair reminds me of Animal from the Muppets."

Random notebook dump: The Amory Wars comic series from Claudio is being developed into a full-length action movie.
