"Blood Red Summer" is the sixth track and second single from Coheed and Cambria's second album, In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3, from 2003, and it's the band's sweetest hook wrapped around their usual dread. Claudio Sanchez sings and plays guitar alongside Travis Stever, Michael Todd plays bass and Josh Eppard drums; all four share the writing, and Michael Birnbaum and Chris Bittner produced and recorded it.
Marc Webb's video made it to MTV, MTV2 and Fuse, and it's a small horror movie: Sanchez barricades a cabin in the woods with trip wires and floodlights, holes up with shelves of canned food, and watches his bandmates stagger through the traps with glowing red eyes. It also rode along on the first preview disc packed with the PlayStation Portable, and it reached 29 on the US alternative chart.
