The band said in a collective statement:
“The visual features Santa Claus receiving a letter from a child whose mother was taken by ICE, asking for her to be returned for Christmas.
The visuals for ‘One Last Miracle‘ are the sequel to Coheed and Cambria’s 2019 video The Unheavenly Christmas Carol, which is the official music video to the band’s song, ‘Toys‘. In The Unheavenly Christmas Carol, we see Santa try to teach an overweight orange-colored-president a lesson. It worked – for a term.
Fast forward 6 years, Santa sees it’s gotten so much worse and is no longer fucking around. He makes peace with his normally evil cousin, Krampus, to help him not only return the child’s mother, but to end this nonsense for all.
It’s good to know that if Congress isn’t willing to stand up to tyranny, Santa will.”
Vocalist/guitarist Claudio Sanchez for his part, commented:
“The algorithm knows what bothers me. The non-stop scrolling through families being violently torn apart, children abandoned to fend for themselves, while their mothers are violently dragged away by men three times their size is upsetting. No political agenda is worth this twist of humanity’s moral compass. If there is a God… I guarantee you… she doesn’t approve.”
