Description:
The Mars Volta's fifth studio album, Octahedron.
Octahedron follows up last year's The Bedlam In Goliath, which featured "Wax Simulacra," the track that took Best Hard Rock Performance honours at the recent 51st Annual Grammy Awards. “Cotopaxi” is the first single taken from the new album.
Octahedron was written by The Mars Volta--Omar Rodriguez Lopez (music, arrangements, direction) and Cedric Bixler Zavala (vocals, lyrics)--and performed by The Mars Volta group: Marcel Rodriguez Lopez, Thomas Pridgen, John Frusciante, Isaiah Ikey Owens, Juan Alderete de la Pena, Cedric Bixler Zavala and Omar Rodriguez Lopez.
Hailed by The New Yorker as "perhaps the most musically adventurous act currently signed to a major label," The Mars Volta formed in 2001. The band's recorded output includes the 2003 debut full length “De-Loused In The Comatorium”, as well as “Frances The Mute” (2005), “Amputechture” (2006) and the previously mentioned “The Bedlam In Goliath” (2008).
