The announcement follows a busy few years for Primus, including the release of the ‘Conspiranoid’ EP, their first new music in over five years. The band also completed their extensive ‘A Tribute To Kings’ Tour across North America, where they performed Rush’s ‘A Farewell To Kings’ in its entirety, alongside a set of their own music, to sold-out crowds. Most recently, Claypool toured the country with the Fearless Flying Frog Brigade for the first time in more than 20 years, performing Pink Floyd’s ‘Animals’ in its entirety, as well as other rarities. Claypool also delved into his solo legacy with the release of the Adverse Yaw: The Prawn Song Years Box Set, featuring remastered audio from his notable projects, including the Fearless Flying Frog Brigade and Colonel Claypool’s Bucket of Bernie Brains.
“The music of Primus has had a creative influence on me and it is a huge honor to get to share the stage with them,” says Coheed And Cambria frontman Claudio Sanchez.
Sanchez also announced today that his latest comic book series from the acclaimed The Amory Wars saga, “No World for Tomorrow” (from Boom! Studios) has set a release date. Issue #1 hits comic shops on May 8th, 2024.
