Celebrating 20 Years of The Mars Volta's De-Loused In The Comatorium.
The Mars Volta's debut album, De-Loused In The Comatorium, turns 20 this week. The album is an incredible artistic achievement, blending progressive rock with punk and Latin rock, and featuring dense, imagistic, psychedelic lyrics from frontman Cedric Bixler-Zavala. The album was produced by Rick Rubin and recorded in a supposedly haunted mansion. De-Loused In The Comatorium remains the band's best album, with a balance of ecstasy and groundedness that creates a head-spinning thrill ride.
