The band s final lineup consisted ofOmar Rodr guez-L pez guitar, producer, direction , Cedric Bixler-Zavala vocals, lyrics , Juan Alderete bass , Marcel Rodr guez-L pez keyboards, percussion and Deantoni Parks drums . The band formed following the break-up of Rodr guez-L pez and Bixler-Zavala s previous band, At the Drive-In. They are known for their energetic live shows and their concept albums.
In 2009, the band won a Grammy Award in the Best Hard Rock Performance category for the song Wax Simulacra . In 2008, they were named Best Prog-Rock Band by Rolling Stone magazine.
In September 2012, it was announced that The Mars Volta had entered a hiatus, with Rodr guez-L pez and Parks forming a new project, Bosnian Rainbows. Four months later, the band announced their breakup. Bixler-Zavala and Alderete subsequently formed a new band, Zavalaz. Rodr guez-L pez and Bixler-Zavala eventually reunited in 2014 for a new project, Antemasque.
Following Tremulant, The Mars Volta continued touring with a fluid line-up while preparing to record their debut full-length album De-Loused in the Comatorium, produced with Rick Rubin and released on June 24, 2003. Whereas Tremulant had no general theme except the prophetic mentioning De-Loused was a unified work of speculative fiction telling the first-person story of someone in a drug-induced coma, battling the evil side of his mind. Though lyrically obscure, The Mars Volta stated in interviews that the album s protagonist is based on their late friend Julio Venegas, or Cerpin Taxt , an El Paso poet and artist who went into a coma for several years after a deliberate drug overdose, recovered and later committed suicide. He died jumping from the Mesa Street overpass onto Interstate-10 in El Paso during afternoon rush-hour traffic. Venegas death was also referenced in the At the Drive-In song Embroglio from their album Acrobatic Tenement.
In an interview with The Aquarian Weekly in 2008, Cedric Bixler-Zavala said about working with Rubin, Rick really over-simplified some of the parts that we thought were unique, and just made them very digestible. He s got this thing about representing the common man s ears I d rather jab the common man s ears. If we don t, we ll never get to a place where future music exists.
The Mars Volta had no official bassist during the recording session, but Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers played bass on nine of the album s ten songs, with Justin Meldal-Johnsen playing double bass on Televators. Flea s bandmate John Frusciante also contributed additional guitar, synthesizer and backing vocals to Cicatriz ESP . After several temporary replacements, permanent bassist for the band was found in Juan Alderete formerly of Racer X .
Despite limited promotion, De-Loused earned strong reviews, and appeared on several year-end best-of lists. The album remains The Mars Volta s best-seller, with over 500,000 copies sold. Rolling Stone ranked a track from De-Loused, Drunkship of Lanterns , the 91st Best Guitar Song Ever. The band later released a limited-edition storybook version of the album, available by download from the Gold Standard Laboratories website. The book speaks of Cerpin Taxt Julio Venegas and his suicide.
While on tour with the Red Hot Chili Peppers in support of the album, founding member Jeremy Michael Ward died of heroin overdose. The band had canceled the tour s second leg, and the first single from De-Loused was later dedicated to Ward. It was this event which finally convinced band leaders Rodr guez-L pez and Bixler-Zavala to purportedly quit using opioids. Bixler-Zavala recalled: One day, we were all getting high, and Jeremy asked me if I could see he had worms in his head. I never touched the stuff again. His passing was the final nail in the coffin. We never went back.
