COHEED AND CAMBRIA haben sich von ihrem Schlagzeuger Chris Pennie getrennt. Als Grund für diesen Schritt nennt die Band kreative Differenzen. Ein Statement von Chris Pennie lest ihr hier:
I am very thankful for the years that I shared the stage with the guys and want to thank the amazing, supportive fans that I´ve met while on tour, but there are a lot of exciting projects on the horizon, in addition to RETURN TO EARTH and FIGHT MANNEQUINS, that I feel require my absolute 100 percent commitment and attention. I feel that this is the right time to make that happen.
