Old Artwork

Heya fans,

Today I was sifting through my junk folder and came accross a badass optical illusion that I created as a tribue to the Mars Volta. This peice is 100% original, I made it using both Illustrator and Photoshop. Click the image to download the full size!

This is only one of a handfull of original Mars Volta art peices that I did back in college. Enjoy!

Cryptomnesia: First Impressions

The first song "Tuberculoids" is exactly what you'd expect from Omar. This song is completely off the wall and messed up! The song starts with some electric baby sounds, they last a little while, then the song gracefully drops into riff hell with Zach Hills authentic style rattling the speakers on his own. Omar lays down a sweeping but constant ransack of notes.

The chorus if you want to call it that, switches up the style to more single notes from omar and a heavy on/off beat that makes you want to headbang.

Cedrics style on this track is a little played out. I'm tired of hearing his slow whine overtop of this musical masacre! Take me back to when you'd yell into a fan or climb up some shit - go nuts. The fans know and love you so don't take it personally, but I want more more more! You've got the gift and you need to lead the way like Robert Plant.

Kudos to the rest of the band for providing the rythems. This is only the first song and I haven't listened to the rest too much.

There has been a massive surge to my site, and google even picks it up at the top of the list. I will continue to keep these sites up! Please visit my affiliate sites in the top right, I write and manage all of them. If anyone out there has content they'd like to provide, I'll gladly share my space! Thanks!!

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!

Track Listing for Octahedron!

Heya fans,

This afternoon I was buzzing through the twitter servers and found a link to the amazon page for the new album. There they seem to have posted accurate track names. We know there are 8 tracks and Amazon has 8 listed, they are:

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

These might be fake, but I'll keep everyone posted. In the meantime, tell everyone you know to buy ear protection because aural-rape is likley to ensue.
