The Second Stage Turbine Blade is the debut studio album released by rock band Coheed and Cambria. It was originally released on March 5, 2002 through Equal Vision Records. It is their first album, but the second part of a tetralogy, telling the story of The Amory Wars. It was re-released on September 20, 2005 and included three previously unreleased bonus tracks.
The album introduces the husband and wife characters Coheed and Cambria, the characters from whom the band's name originates.
This album is one of three Coheed and Cambria albums (the others being Year of the Black Rainbow and the non-conceptual The Color Before the Sun) not to have a multi-part suite, as In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 had the "Camper Velourium" series, Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness had the "Willing Well" series, Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume Two: No World for Tomorrow had the "End Complete" series, and The Afterman: Ascension and Descension albums have the "Key Entity Extraction" series.
All lyrics written by Claudio Sanchez; all music composed by Coheed and Cambria.
Note: On the standard ten-track edition, the hidden track "IRO-Bot" is contained in "God Send Conspirator"; however, on the deluxe edition, it is contained in the "Everything Evil" demo.
