Good news EVERYONE!

The brand new Mars Volta single has been released!! It's called Cotopaxi, and here is a direct download:

Click Here to Download Cotopaxi.

This song is so awesome, I'm in love! The Cryptomnesia disc is a lot less organized than the new Volta. This song is so well orchestrated, I'm thoroughly impressed!

I don't know how they can call this song 'acoustic' ... there's nothing acoustic about it! It's so loud and awesome, I love this band.

Enjoy the song, and I'll keep everyone posted for the Octahedron leak.

Have a nice day!

OK - I really love Cryptomnesis

Alright - I finally had the chance to get right fucked up and crank Cryptomnesia. Let me tell you, this is just one of those albums that will go down in history as rediculously experimental. The rythems are effed up, the vocals are actually really good Cedric, I'm sorry my first posts said otherwise, and the band is just damn cool.

If anyone has listened to the first Hella CD, you can imagine adding omar, cedric, juan and Hischke to the mix... it's retarded. The second song is wicked. I'm looking forward to the Octahedron album now too - they're claiming it's the Mars Volta's 'acoustic' record! Ha! Rumour has it that the next Volta CD to be released after Octahedron has already been recorded, and is being code named 'the metal' album. Oh how excited are we? A little..!

Thanks to my readers for getting me upto 400 uniques a day! Check back soon!

Octahedron Out June 23

Hey fans.

This morning on Pitchfork I found an article on the new Volta record called Octahedron. The new record has only 8 tracks and runs only 49 minutes. I'm very interested to hear/see why they've neglected the last 30 minutes of a CD.

I'm expecting this record to be off the damn hook. Their new drummer Thomas Pridgen is absolutley outstanding in his live performances. The usual lineup is still there, I love you Juan!

The tracklist:

1. Since We've Been Wrong
2. Teflon
3. Halo of Nembutals
4. With Twilight as My Guide
5. Cotopaxi
6. Desperate Graves
7. Copernicus
8. Luciforms

I'll keep everyone posted on the news and any leaks I can get ahold of. Cheers!

Cryptomnesia or Octahedron

So I'm cruising the internet looking for the Cryptomnesia leak or the Octahedron leak. I went through about 40 pages in google to find the torrent, but I have failed miserably. I will be the first to post leaks to the new albums the same day they are released into the pirate wild. Stay tuned!
