Disregarding how bad the timing is on this video (something to do with having converted it from a Quicktime movie to .avi), if this song made any sense to you and it's your first time hearing it, I'd be very much surprised. The above video is what's called a "misheard lyrics" video. There are plenty of these scattered all around YouTube, mostly involving the type of songs where the singer seems to have trouble enunciating words or phrases. I made this video more as a joke, but it was part of a final project I had to do in a digital media class a couple years back. Coheed and Cambria front man Claudio Sanchez is known not just for his high-pitched style of singing, but also how he tends to add multiple syllables to words -- and this song is no exception.

All joking aside, in spite of whatever humor might be found in this video when misinterpreting the lyrics, the true subject matter is far more gruesome. Following the path set by the previous two songs, "The Camper Velourium III: Al the Killer" is the heaviest and most aggressive tune of the song series. And rightly so, seeing as how the songs revolve around the character Al and the thoughts running through the other characters' heads as they discover more about his twisted personality, and this song is where -- pardon my use of this phrase -- shit hits the fan. The title of this song is a dead giveaway -- the freighter pilot in charge of delivering the group to House Atlantic is a murderer. During exploration of The Camper Velourium, Ambellina stumbles upon a hatch containing the bodies of white females. As it turns out, Al has an affinity for murdering them with his beloved sniper rifle:

"Die white girls. Die white girls."

The "unintelligible gibberish" by the way is actually Mic Todd screaming "Let this colony know in the name of the dead we're coming!" and "Dance upon the graves of the dead, upon your name." For the most part, I think these lines are actually not from the perspective of Al, but either Claudio (the character, not the singer) or Jesse giving warning to House Atlantic and Wilhelm Ryan that they're coming for him.

As soon as the opening riff plays, it's undeniable that it's more aggressive than the others of the "Camper Velourium" series. As usual throughout this record, Claudio's singing only proves to be getting not just better, but even slightly lower. While the usual high tones remain, he demonstrates that he's capable of singing in lower octaves. Singing alongside Claudio's high octave and yet heavy vocalization is a much lower, bass-like, almost demonic voice, reflecting the demonic Al and his twisted fantasies. 

The structure is very straightforward, with the opening riff playing out throughout all the verses. The chorus is catchy, however sick it might sound -- "When I kill her, I'll have her!" -- further showing Al's continued lust for Ambellina. After the chorus comes a bridge that utilizes some of the best singing from Claudio so far in their career. Altogether, it's a heavy, typical style of hard rock complete with loud, quick snare and bass drum beats by Josh. A perfect sound to just rock out to and have fun singing along to.
