As previously reported, Coheed and Cambria bassist Michael Todd was fired from the band after being arrested by  Attleboro, MA Police, after showing a Walgreens pharmacist a note on  his cell phone which said he had a bomb and that he wanted some  Oxycontin. Oxycontin! Really? Then to make matters worse, he fled the  scene via taxi with six bottles of pain pills. Police arrested him  without any incidents outside of the Comcast Theater where Coheed and  Cambria were scheduled to open up for Soundgarden (the band performed  without him). He was charged with armed robbery and unlawful possession  of prescription narcotics. He was released on July 25th after posting a  $25,000 bail, and is currently awaiting trial.

The band has announced that Zach Cooper is the NEW bassist of the band via this introductory video:



The band had previously announced, the return of  drummer Josh Eppard, as the replacement of Chris Pennie (who quit the band last year). The band is stoked to be back in form. They recently toured all over North America as part of the "Maiden England" tour with IRON MAIDEN.

Coheed and Cambria Announce Replacement For Chris Pennie & Enter The Studio!

2011 has been a tough year for Coheed and Cambria, not only did drummer Chris Pennie decided to call it quits earlier this month, but they also had to fire their bassist Michael Todd after he was arrested by Attleboro, MA Police this past July, after showing a Walgreens pharmacist a note on his cell phone which said he had a bomb and that he wanted some Oxycontin.

Yesterday, the band announced that they will be rejoined by drummer Josh Eppard and that they have entered the studio to work on the follow-up to their 2010 album "Year Of The Black Rainbow". Here is the band's official statement.

"We didn't originally plan to make a big splash about this, but when Chris made his announcement, we were ultimately compelled to. We didn't want anyone to be concerned about the state of the band, and trying to keep things quiet was proving to be really tough. And besides, we're just really excited and wanted to share that feeling with you.

"Chris Pennie is a dear friend, a superb band-mate and one of the best drummers in the world. He brought a workmanship and sense of professionalism to Coheed that completely improved us as a band, and allowed us to reach new heights. He will always be a member of the Coheed family, and we ask you to support all his endeavors.

"As the songs for the new record began twisting into shape, it slowly became apparent that these songs were very dynamic, and could truly flourish with the groove-oriented approach that Josh naturally brings to the table. We also missed Josh as a person — what he meant to us as friends and the energy and humor he exudes. But this isn't about nostalgia; it's about who we are now, and what we can achieve musically and as a family, together going forward.

"We understand there are risks involved bringing Josh back into the fray. Even with his two years of sobriety, this is a giant leap of faith on our part. But at the end of the day, we have all grown up, and we have all been through so much, that playing with Josh again is sort of like coming home. It's comfortable, it's familiar, it just feels right… it's hand in glove.

"Last week, we entered Applehead Studios with Michael Birnbaum and Chris Bittner to begin work on our sixth studio album. We're three songs in, can't wait to share it."
