Description:

A long silence has been broken, and a new chapter of a new legend has begun. The MARS VOLTA, a musical group consisting of Omar Rodriguez Lopez and Cedric Bixler Zavala, boasts a solid reputation for their chaotic compositions and spectacular playability, which could be called chaotic progressive music. After a long-awaited revival, they have completed their first new studio album "THE MARS VOLTA" in about 10 years. Listen to their new sound that continues to evolve. Analog LP is also released at the same time. The Mars Volta is a musical group consisting of Omar Rodriguez Lopez and Cedric Bixler Zavala, who boast a solid reputation for their chaotic compositions and spectacular playability, which could be described as chaotic progressive music. Emo/screamo, metal, progressive, Latin, salsa, dub... they mix all the musical styles that exist in the world and multiply them with superb improvisation to create a sound that is full of unexplainable exuberance and spectacular experimentation. They are true progressive artists.After releasing their sixth album, NOCTOURNIQUET, in 2012, the band disbanded in 2013 when Cedric Bixler Zavala announced his departure. However, the two soon joined forces and have been touring and doing recording sessions as new projects ANTEMASQUE and At the Drive-In. In recent years, there have been numerous rumors of a Mars Volta reunion, and following the release of the luxury box set "LA REALIDAD DE LOS SUENOS" in 2021 to sum up their career, the band announced their reunion this June through the art installation "L'ytome Hodorxi Telesterion The reunion was announced through the art installation "L'ytome Hodorxi Telesterion" in June of this year. The simultaneous release of the new song "Blacklight Shine" and the North American tour heightened expectations for a new album. Finally, the long-awaited release of the reunion album was announced. The new album, the first for the Mars Volta in 10 years, is the self-titled "THE MARS VOLTA.Included in the recording are three singles that have already been released: "Blacklight Shine," "Graveyard Love," and "Virgil. They say that their sound, which has been revived after a long hiatus, is a work that could be called a paradigm shift for the Mars Volta. The new album shakes off some of the "Mars Volta traits" that have been built up over the years: only two songs are longer than four minutes, and the uplifting, polished, progressive style of their earlier work is absent. Instead, THE MARS VOLTA is a delicate shimmer of Caribbean rhythms supported by refined, yet intense craftsmanship and songwriting. This is the Mars Volta at its most mature, simplest, and most committed.The album contains the maximum output of their sound and sound world, blending the underground pop melodies of Omar Rodriguez Lopez with the dark science fiction world of Cedric Bixler Zavala's occult and evil governments. Distilling their passion, lyrical universe, and power at their fingertips, THE MARS VOLTA is also their most accessible work to date.
