Alright, Who Cursed The Mars Volta?
So…um, the new Mars Volta album, The Bedlam in Goliath, is cursed by a Ouija Board from Jerusalem.
No, seriously.
After studio floods, disappearing tracks, and other creepy stuff that they believe to be part of a curse, the band buried the board that guitarist Omar Rodriguez-Lopez got in Jerusalem at an undisclosed location. It even drove away the engineer of the project, and lead singer Cedric Bixler-Savala says he almost quit himself.
Of course, they put a lot of the experience into the lyrics for the album; “This album is the tale we were told, our interpretation of it, and what all was happening to us,” says guitarist Omar Rodriguez-Lopez. After all, this is the band that made a concept album about being in a coma.
Does anyone remember At The Drive-In? Things were so simple then.
