Claudio Sanchez, vocalist, guitarist, and keyboardist for progressive metal band Coheed and Cambria, just released a new song under The Prize Fighter Inferno pseudonym, “More Than Love,” according to The PRP. This marks the first release from The Prize Fighter Inferno since the release of Half Measures EP in 2012.

“More Than Love” is a far departure from the rock heavy music that Coheed and Cambria usually churns out; Sanchez uses purely digital instruments and sounds on “More Than Love,” as the project is more similar to something Daft Punk would create than the progressive rock giants. The juxtaposition between the music of Coheed and Cambria and The Prize Fighter Inferno Project couldn’t be more evident than in this song, and the sheer difference is more than interesting enough to warrant a listen.

In addition to Coheed and Cambria and The Prize Fighter Inferno, Sanchez has worked with his wife on a side project under the name Chonnie and Clyde. The music is also very contrasting to the music of Coheed and Cambria, as this approach sees Sanchez take on an acoustic and folk identity, and further showing the different styles and genres Sanchez is able to tackle.

Drew Feinerman: I have just completed my senior at the University of Michigan majoring in international studies with an emphasis in political economics and development, with a minor in Chinese language and culture, and I have recently been accepted into the Berklee School of Music's masters of music business program. Although my academic interests include economics, political science, and history, I consider music to be my one true passion. Music is, and has always been, a driving force for the way I think and act every day of my life. I have been playing the tenor saxophone since the age of ten, and playing an instrument at a high level has allowed me to only further my understanding and appreciation for music. While I grew up listening to predominantly classic rock, I soon found myself gravitating toward jazz, hip-hop, funk, and other genres, as my learned to both play and analyze music as a listener. As a writer, I am able to apply my skills both as a musician and a listener, and look forward to the opportunity to being able to express my thoughts on various stories in the music industry.
