The Mars Volta headlined the Saturn stage on the Saturday night of Sonisphere Festival 2011, which basically means they were opening up for Biffy Clyro. And you just know that they confused the living hell out of some people who just wanted to sing along to 'Mountains'. The Mars Volta @ Sonisphere Festival 2011 c/o [...]

For those that revel in getting their crusted, mudded socks off to what Lemmy this weekend persistently and insistently branded "rock'n'roll", in a waterlogged field on the outskirts of a mildly relevant town or city, options are relatively limited. Whilst myriad lightweight indie festivals come and go annually, line ups tumefied by rawk, metal, nu metal, grunge, hardcore etc. come at a premium, and premium is precisely what the 2011 edition of Sonisphere Festival proved to be. Clocking in at a mere, infantile three years old, the festival now sprawls across much of Europe, from Scandinavia to the [...]

That's tomorrow night, folks! No, your short term memory isn't misbehaving, we did indeed bestow a pair of tickets upon one of you last week and rummaging around the office here at ol' TVD HQ, wouldn't you know it, we've found another pair. Soundgarden plays the Patriot Center tomorrow night with The Mars Volta and to win the tickets, in the comments let us know what very last minute happenstance turned out to be one of the best things ever. Like winning these tickets. [...]

Is SOUNDGARDEN really as great as they're made out to be? The answer can be heard approximately 57 seconds into "Outshined," but it took a few blasts of Superunknown and Badmotorfinger this weekend to make me forgive their listless set at the Prudential Center. Only four people in the nearly sold-out arena didn't seem thrilled ...

La banda The Mars Volta no saca un disco desde Octahedron , su quinta placa discográfica, en 2009. A pesar de la extensa actividad de uno de sus miembros fundadores, Omar Rodríguez Lopez , como solista, el grupo había estado fuera del radar por un tiempo considerable. En un recital reciente en Finlandia , la banda salió de su silencio y estrenó nuevas melodías. En un show en Helsinki , el conjunto, liderada por [...]

A band doesn't get to be a part of the 15 Hottest Summer Tours of 2011 by merely being good. In the case of The Mars Volta , they made the list because along with wowing live crowds everywhere with their extensive back catalog, the rockers are offering up new material from their upcoming and as yet detail-less sixth album. During a July 3rd show in Helsinki, Finland, TMV took to the stage at Circus for an 80-minute set, 60 of which was apparently made up of all new material. Courtesy of Antiquiet , [...]

The release date of T.R.A.M.'s debut album Lingua Franca via Sumerian Records has been delayed, but that hasn't stopped the label from releasing 4 minutes of an unmastered version of the track "Endeavor," picked up by our fellow T.R.A.M. enthusiasts at Metal Injection. The band, of course, features Tosin Abasi and Javier Reyes of Animals as [...]

We've been pretty hyped up on T.R.A.M. since we were first exposed to the band at SXSW. The band of course features Tosin Abasi and Javier Reyes of Animals as Leaders, Adrian Terrazas formerly of The Mars Volta and Eric Moore of Suicidal Tendencies. As far as the music goes, all we had to go ...

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the T.R.A.M. album is delayed! T.R.A.M. of course features the superhuman musicians Tosin Abasi and Javier Reyes of Animals as Leaders, Adrian Terrazas formerly of The Mars Volta and Eric Moore of the Suicidal Tendencies. We caught the band at their only performance ever at SXSW ...

Holy shit, Soundgarden fans mean business. Last year when the "Hunted Down/Nothing to Say" 7 inch was released on Record Store Day , it was one of the first records to leave the shelves at Crooked Beat . Seminal grunge frontrunners Soundgarden toured for the first time in twelve years in 2010. If you missed them then, here's your chance to get it right. And whether you went through a Mars Volta [...]

Krautrock legends gracefully combine design and performance in this often overlooked classic.

On Tuesday Kia and Adult Swim's weird download wall will offer (for freeness) an unreleased Mastodon song from the fruitful Crack The Skye sessions. This is boner news cuz while Skye is rad, its mere seven tracks aren't enough - no matter how lengthy and multi-staged. Right or wrong, I need no fewer than nine [...]

Back in the day, when this place was crawling with forums and chats about random acts of music, we used to poll ourselves to see which release by an artist not only set them atop of the industry but stapled them in as musical gods. This week we take on the psychedelic sensation: The Mars Volta Omar Rodriguez and Cedric Bixler Zavala of The Mars Volta [/caption] TMV have certainly written their fair share of records and I have to admit, as much of a fan as I [...]

Yes. That title is correct. Stop rubbing your eyes in disbelief, 'cos if what Brent Hinds has been talking about is true our ears are soon to be bleeding to the sound of a new band. Via Noisecreep and our buddy Sami at RiOB , apparently ex-Jane's Addiction bassist Eric Avery, former Mars Volta drummer Thomas Pridgen and all around guitar shredder from Dillinger Escape Plan Ben Weinman, along with the aforementioned Brent are trying to coordinate putting out an album as a band. Thing is, here in the UK a quick train ride and you can [...]

Noisecreep revealed in a recent interview with Mastodon guitarist, Brett Hindman, that he recently formed a supergroup with Dillinger Escape Plan 's Ben Weinman, former The Mars Volta drummer Thomas Pridgen, and ex- Jane's Addiction bassist Eric Avery. The project doesn't have a name at the moment but Giraffe Tongue is a possible choice according to Hindman "because they look sick." Mastodon are currently working on a new album .

Gracias a Noisecreep me entero de lo que sin duda, son buenas noticias para todos los amantes del rock y el metal técnicos. Parece ser que miembros de grupos como Mastodon o The Mars Volta estan a punto de anunciar lo que será su nuevo grupo, del cual aún no se sabe nombre. La alineacion sería la siguiente: Brent Hinds (Mastodon) a la guitarra Ben Weinman (The Dillinger Escape Plan) a la [...]
