Mars Volta’s latest album a cosmic journey of art and sound
The Mars Volta is something new. When Cedric Bixler-Zavala and Omar Rodriguez-Lopez separated from their first groundbreaking musical expedition, At The Drive In, it was all up-in-the-air as to where they might go from there. The Volta burst forward with an amazing short-play album called "Tremulant EP" and followed it up with the masterpiece concept album, "De-Loused In The Comatorium," which featured Flea of The Red Hot Chili Peppers on bass guitar.
