Amputecture

The sheer exhaustion that comes with the initial play of a Mars Volta album may dissaude many listeners. But for those fans who understand the message behind their music, look no further than the recent release of the bands third album, Amputecture. Bringing the energy of a live show to the studio, the Mars Volta continue to explore their talent in a genre-less field. The cohesive harmony between the guitars of Omar Rodriguez-Lopez and the voice of Cedric Bixler-Zavala brings back the excitement of De-Loused in the Comatorium with progressive and violent mood swings, challenging both themselves and the listener.
