In fall 2003, the band issued In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3. The vibrant sophomore effort (part three of the five-part saga) was recorded in Japan in between tours with the Used, and helped break the guys out on a larger scale with the singles A Favor House Atlantic and Blood Red Summer doing respectably well on outlets like MTV. Coheed & Cambria went on to play shows in North America with artists such as Thursday, Thrice, AFI, and Rainer Maria. Their first appearance on the tenth annual ~Warped Tour in summer 2004 and their first headlining European tour coincided the success of the A Favor House Atlantic single.
Coheed & Cambrias third album, Good Apollo Im Burning Star IV, Vol. 1: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness -- their first for Columbia -- followed in fall 2005; the album (part four) was the first of a two-part conclusion to the bands running sci-fi story line (with the fifth album intended to be the first part). It hit number seven on ~Billboards Top 200, partially due to the success of The Suffering and Welcome Home. On Halloween 2006, Equal Vision released the debut from Sanchezs indie electronic solo project, the Prize Fighter Inferno, entitled My Brothers Blood Machine. Continuing in the tradition of his primary group, the album centers around three families in a story that pre-dates the %Coheed/%Cambria saga and is narrated by %Inferno (aka %Jesse, %Coheeds brother).
