Biography

The Prize Fighter Inferno is an acoustic/electronica project consisting entirely of recordings by Claudio Sanchez of Coheed and Cambria. Although many people think that it is just a side project, Claudio does not want it to be viewed as such. The first album, called “My Brother’s Blood Machine” was released on October 31st, 2006 through indie label Equal Vision Records. When asked what his sound is most like, he responded, “a mix of Iron & Wine and Bjork.”

The “story” of this album is told by Jesse as seen in other Coheed & Cambria albums. This story is however, not completely separate from the Coheed and Cambria universe and several characters from the Co&Ca universe are mentioned interchangeably. The albums title, My Brothers Blood Machine, is a reference to a type of machine that is used within the story that is capable of ripping peoples bodies apart in order to free their souls. It is also thought that the Blood Machine is a symbol for the heart.

    V Do you actually have the vinyl? Cos if not it's probably just the quality of the rip.

    I remember trying to listen to PFI when I was a teenager and I just couldn't get into it, despite my love for CoCa at the time. Coming back to it 5 years later, I can't help but think 'What the hell was wrong with me? This is fantastic'.

    Goddamnit, really hoping that Half Measures EP makes it onto the internet - not fair that it's only in vinyl.

    its cool to hear claudios solo stuff, also there is definitely a niche for this electro/acoustic sound out there. new album would be cool too

    Woah, I dig this album WAY more than Coheed (not that Coheed are bad, they're great!).

    I know that Year of the Black Rainbow and My Brother's Blood Machine are both prequels but does anyone know which is first chronologically?

    I was really hoping those videos on the Coheed channel would mark a new PFI record.
