Question about The Amory Wars?
Question by Nath B: Question about The Amory Wars?
i had just recently purchased the new album by Coheed and Cambria entitled Year of the Black Rainbow and it was the origin story to The Amory Wars saga. My question is where does The Prize Fighter Inferno fit into the story my thought is that comes after because it is when Jesse is reborn as a human(if i’m not mistaken). so i think it would come after right? however in an interview Claudio Sanchez stated that it was a prequel to The Amory Wars. so i need some clarification. if you have a ananswer for me let me know.

Yes, He does get reborn after the Amory Wars, but he says to finish the story or something that he must tell another story, that story is The Prize Fighter Inferno. Which is a prequel to Year of the Black Rainbow(The Amory Wars), but for how long apart they are is another thing. Where Jesse fits in The Prize Fighter Inferno, I have yet to find out.The characters I only hear about are the McCloud Family, The Early Family, and Long-Arm & Butchie, who are people who made a “Blood Machine” which tortures people and kills them, which Long-Arm and Butchie believes that it cleanse their souls and sends them to heaven, Wayne Andrews the bee keeper, Judge Kevin, and Gunner Recall. Prize Fighter Inferno, I think is awesome, and its more darker in a sense and has more of a texas chainsaw feel to me.
Here’s a little better explanation:
Claudio Sanchez has said that the two stories “do connect, but not in the most obvious way.”
Long-arm and Butchie Bleam brothers brought together by physical distortion and social seclusion are about to find themselves in the running for the most unusual job in the world…..DEATH! Listen to the story unfold as we follow these two misunderstood yet maniacal minstrels of macabre in a neverending race for ultimate power. Listen to the disturbing details as the songs takes you through the hell that is the Blood Machine. This is a story being told in song……this is hell being unleashed through love and sound…… I am the hitchhiker doomed to tell the tale of Margretville, I am your Guide, I am the Prizefighter Inferno.
In an interview posted by MTV News on September 29th, 2006, Claudio goes into much greater detail about the plot:
“Well, this story actually acts as a prequel to the Amory Wars,” the center of the Coheed and Cambria mythology, Sanchez explains. The Inferno character, who appears in the Coheed concept as a man named Jesse, “dies in the Good Apollo: Volume One, and is resurrected on present-day Earth. So he leaves the solar system that the story takes place in, and gets resurrected in the present day. But before he can tell the story of the Amory Wars, he needs to tell the story of the Blood Machine.
“The Blood Machine revolves around three families, one being the Bleam family, who are our horrific sort of ‘Texas Chainsaw Massacre’ family,” he continued. “There’s the McCloud family — where we have our main character, Cecilia — and the Early family. And [Cecilia’s] love interest is the son of that family, Johnny. And there are so many subplots. One, for example, talks about how Cecilia’s father happens to molest her, and eventually she can’t take it anymore and tries to convince Johnny to leave with her. She steals her two brothers, who happen to be twins, and Johnny decides not to go. So she ends up running away with the twins into the woods, where she meets the Bleam family.”
Sanchez said that there are two Bleam brothers — Long-Arm and Butchie — who are horrific monsters. “Their mother happens to be crazy, and she ends up telling these two kids that ‘God has come to me with a higher calling for you — you need to be the new Death,’ and she tells them that they have to go out and collect souls for God,” he explained. “And so, out of their mind, they’re like, ‘OK, so when a body dies, how do we get the soul out of it?’ They construct this Blood Machine, which basically tears a body to shreds, and they think that releases the soul.”
Sanchez said there are numerous subplots that will unfold as well, including the elaborate background of the Bleam kith: The family’s patriarch, a meth addict, dismembers his wife when he catches her pinching from his stash, and her death sends the Bleam boys on a downward spiral toward complete madness.
