With the news I brought to you last week of At the Drive-In's reunion performance at Coachella this Spring, fans of Cedric and Omar's side project The Mars Volta will be happy to know that the band are planning to release their brand new album "Noctourniquet" on March 27th! The disc was recorded over the span of the last 2 years and sees the band returning to their original prog rock roots originally displayed on 2003's "De-Loused in the Comatorium" and 2005's "Frances the Mute". According to Rolling Stone magazine's website, this album will be another concept based effort, telling the story of a character that drew inspiration from the Superman villain Solomon Grundy and the Greek myth of Hyacinthus. As with their previous efforts, this album is produced by frontman Cedric Bixler Zavala and guitarist Omar Rodriguez Lopez. This will be another groundbreaking effort for the group, who have been one of my favorite bands for a number of years now. Below is the track listing for "Noctourniquet":
- The Whip Hand
- Aegis
- Dyslexicon
- Empty Vessels Make The Loudest Sound
- The Malkin Jewel
- Lapochka
- In Absentia
- Imago
- Molochwalker
- Trinkets Pale of Moon
- Vedamalady
- Noctourniquet
