The Mars Volta - Amputechture

Double LP

Beneath the technical flash, the fury, the fearless creative brinkmanship of the first two Mars Volta albums lay a potent seam of the blues, an existential vexation that powered every twist and turn of Omar and Cedric's imaginations. That mournful vibe would come to the surface of the group's third full-length, Amputechture.

Amputechture, released on Sept. 3, 2021, would prove The Mars Volta's most diverse set yet, drawing into the group's tornado of influences moments of firey jazz spirituality and esoteric folk introspection, finding space for passages of devastating subtlety and and also their most fierce and full-on moments to date. Fearless, insatiable, unstoppable — their third full-length studio album was unquestionably the group's most thrilling but also their darkest record yet.
