Sanchez created The Amory Wars comics and novels to better depict the story’s events and characters. The mythos isn’t wholly comprehensible through the music and lyrics alone. Some individual songs on these albums (e.g., 'The Crowing', 'Everything Evil', 'Three Evils') use a particular song structure named by Brad Osborn as the 'terminally climactic form' in order to depict a particularly violent action from the story. The band also makes use of recurring melodies, self-referencing musical and lyrical cues in certain songs that reference key moments in The Amory Wars mythology.

The name also refers to the fictional conflict at the center of the story, which is told across the published works and is also the primary focus of most of the band’s music.Įach of Coheed and Cambria’s studio albums (with the exception of 2015’s The Color Before the Sun) tells a chapter in the saga originally narrated by Sanchez’s lyrics.
