2010 album from the American Alt-Rockers, their heavily anticipated fifth studio album. Year of the Black Rainbow provides the prequel to the band's four previous inter-related concept albums, which comprise The Amory Wars. The album was produced by Atticus Ross (Nine Inch Nails, Jane's Addiction) and Joe Baressi (Queens of the Stone Age, Tool). The record features the studio debut of Coheed and Cambria drummer Chris Pennie, who has been playing alongside Claudio Sanchez, guitarist Travis Stever and bassist Michael Robert Todd since 2007 and was featured on Neverender: Children of the Fence Edition, the CD/DVD box set documentation of the fall/winter 2008 four-night stands during which the band played its catalog in its entirety, one album per night, in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and London.
