The Mars Volta

This band isn't really new at all, but with the hype on the new album " The Bedlam in Goliath" I figure that they deserve a spot in my second blog. The story behind this album is said to be about a a ouija board, and a series of bad luck that followed. Omar Rodriguez, guitarist/composer is known for is insane, and strange guitar rifts has supposedly calmed down a bit, and tend to be a bit more melodic for this record, but still does not dissapoint. Cedric Bixler, lead singer/lyricist who has a high pitched voice anyway tends to go falsetto more on this album. The album release is on January 29, and should be amazing.
