  • This is really good.

  • it kinda sounds like at the drive in

  • This song is amazing. Im sooo glad i found it. Definitely one of their best songs. 

  • Good thing the lyrics were written into "Day of the Baphomets" so we could enjoy it on an album, too.

  • BRING BACK JON THEODORE!

  • And this didn't make it on Deloused because of Rick Rubbin

  • thanks for this upload, for some reason i had never heard of this song. how the hell did this not make it onto de-loused? god i miss the old volta

  • mamma mia dal 3.48 in poi è spettacolare!!

  • jon <3

  • Good song, but I think it's funny how they ended At the Drive-Inn and began Mars Volta supposedly because they wanted to break away from this particular genre and now they are slowly falling back into it.

  • Comment removed

  • @Ebvardh How are they fading back into that genre? This song came out in 04.

  • @Ebvardh dude thats an excellent point

  • @Ebvardh have you heard an atdi reunion may happen, And i unfortunantly have to die...Thank you scumbag red and white blue balled bastards, ruin my musical orgasm!!!!! Especially how far cedric has come with his solo work, WHAT WILL FUTURE ATDI SOUND LIKE???Shoot me

  • @Ebvardh really? Because their most recent works are the farthest thing i can imagine from at the drive in. Have you listened to octahedron at all?

  • @gacktxrawr Actually, I made this comment when I was pretty ignorant about the Mars Volta's progression in their own style.

    I actually believed this was a newer song and assumed they were regressing to their ATDI style, but now it's pretty obvious to me how it's not the case at all.

  • EPIC drumming

  • the bass in the verse is the same as the part in metatron which is in the same time signature.

  • @moderntossman No its not

  • Same verse/vocal melody as day of the baphomets

  • haha it's day of the baphomets!

  • Killer !

  • this song is called "plague upon your hissing corpse"

  • @magicbag6790 I always thought it was "A Plague Upon Your Hissing Children."

  • A little too incoherent...too much at once...Fantastic musicians that jam, but not write music...Still love em'!

  • @JamesBehrends what you call "jamming", may be what others call music. Since when is there a definition to what music really is?

  • @chilil57 Indeed, only my opinion..they are alot at once though. Deloused will always be in my top 10 albums of all time..

  • @JamesBehrends  incoherent? or too complex?

  • @JamesBehrends This coming from a guy who's way of speaking is too incoherent.

  • If Omar cut himself restringing a guitar or something, I bet unreleased albums and songs would come out of him instead of blood.

  • @Meta1Head91 - I love you

  • i've never heard dis one.im fuckn' awestruk!!!!!

  • ya this is totally an earlier version of "baphomets"

  • its day of the baphomets but with different instrumental

  • I'm going to buy a radio station just for this song and album.

  • correction "PLAGUE UPON YOUR HISSING CORPSE"

  • ah, how i miss that line-up

  • oh this song is great. i have it on yellow "7" vinyl. it was suppose to be on Deloused but i can see why it was left off the Debut album. it's really early Mars Volta. this song is great. all mars volta stuff grows on ya.

  • I loved  Octahedron! >:D I love all their albums. Each one is more memorable than the last.

  • i fucking love this band <3 especially Cedric, even though he doesnt write the music, TMV's audience would be virtually non existant if not for him. He's lyrics and voice are just... God-like. Its beautiful.

  • who's that on the left end of the picture, behind thomas ?

  • spectacularrr

  • Theres nothing like haulin ass thru El Paso with this song blasting thru my windows, and smoking a J...a fatass J...

  • fuk this is awesmoe

  • you can hate me all you want, but this song would be better off on de-loused as opposed to this apparatus must be unearthed

  • @almiester1234 dude, this apparatus must be unearthed was amazing! i love all of TMV's stuff, even the songs on Tremulant, and even though this is a great song *it really is* its still not as good as this apparatus in my oppinion.

  • @punkorama94 ohh c'mon tremulant was one of the greatest. Without that there wouldn't be any modern mars volta. But, octahedron was kinda a disappointment

  • @MrSw3rls it really was, but most people don't even bother to go back and listen to the EP. and wtf? thats the record that got me IN to them. It was just unbelievably beautiful and complex, even though its stripped down compared to their other stuff. I heard Goliath and Wax Simulacra before it, but still, it was amazing.

  • this reminds me of cedrics atdi voice...not bad, volta ftw

  • anyone else think the lead riff at the beginning sounds like the one in cotopaxi? it drives me up the wall. it may not be in 11/4 like cotopaxi but it sounds hauntingly familiar.

  • if you have watched any of videos with omar he talks about he talks about he makes different types of music with songs he has already created. just changing them, ya know morphing them into something different. Some of the lyrics he is uses in this album are from Amputecture. This is from a missing chromosome.

  • they should really put more band members into the interviews, i know only cedric and omar really know what anything is gonna sound like before they finish an album, but there are other things the band members can talk about.

  • woah the beginning is day of the baphomets EXACTLY. well, not exactly literally, but pretty damn close

  • I think you are a little confused because this doesn't sound anything like day of baphomets. I believe you feel that there is a connection to this song and day of baphomets because Cedric uses these lyrics in this song from Day of Baphomets, "fondling with pitchforks in a cattle prodded sea signaling the sedatives to emaciate their queen ".

  • um the begining part? hello? sawing off the pavement, repenting their past lives, might i be the only payment left to be left behind, those are the first lyrics of this song, they're the first lyrics of day of the baphomets, and at least those parts have the same basic vocal melody. i'd have to listen to them both again, but some instrumentation may be similar to.

  • Umm, hello.. your arguing the sound not the lyrics. the song sounds nothing like day of baphomets. What are you listening to? no they're not similar at all except for the lyrics. and what did I just say in my comment? I said that they use much of the same lyrics, THAT is why you think it sounds similar. why don't you actually read what i said instead of trying to interperate what you think.

  • @bahl97365 but see its not just the lyrics, its the vocal MELODY. cedric uses his voice as a melody, not as a way of comunicating lyrics like popstars do, because he's just that awesome. even if he said "flawing all your statements" instead of "sawing off the pavement" the vocal melody would likely be the same. And i thought you were arguing only about the part with the pitchforks and that you didnt notice the beginning part's lyrics, thats why i started arguing about the lyrics.

  • canthinkvery well is right. bahl is stupid. the lyrics AND melody (if u know what that means...) AND rhythm are ~basically~ the same. Also the "rise your entrails as an offer" part of day of the baphomets appears in this song too with lyrics slightly dif. (again melody and rhythm almost identical)

  • @Lachy101 the rhythm is very similar because it is syncopated the same way, meaning the loudest or highest notes are in the same places in both songs.

  • Actually DOTB is based off this. This song is from De-Loused. Well it's supposed to be.

  • @canthinkverywell the reused the lyrics from this one for that album.

  • its ironic how people consider omar the best guitarist but at the same time he hates the guitar

  • how true haha

  • im not racist at all, but the black guy on the far right looks very out of place lol im sorry

  • @drgonzito613 hahahah win

  • @drgonzito613 of course its not racist, cuz then you would've mentioned pridgen to the left

  • @drgonzito613 black guy??? his name is mr. isaiah key owenss!!!!!

  • Drummer is fucking amazing on this track. Not to say he isn't normally, but on this track it's specifically kickin.

  • Its so rare to find a group shot! its always just cedric and Omar! There are Other band members too ya know!!!

  • true, but there's such a revolving door these days, such shots become antiqated

  • This is amazing but, I still like the way they put together Day of the Baphomets a bit more

  • Comment removed

  • YESSS! you can really here how their sound evolved in comparing this old one to Day of the Baphomets

  • what do you think they're laughin at?

  • they're just fuckin creative geniuses and they're amazing guys. deloused is sweet, as well as their other work. it's all from heaven

  • best mars volta song.

  • gr8 drumming

  • The last bit of this song was complete Robert Fripp worship. Of course, who doesn't worship Fripp?

  • Who writes music or is in a band?? If you have music (even if its bullshit jaming in your moms garage) I WANA HEAR.

    hit me up! I want to check your shit out man, fuck the mars volta. They're too good, they beat all of our asses single handedly hahah

    comment me

  • hahaha so true man. I was in a band when I was 15 (22 now), we won a bunch of competitions etc but were too young & arrogant to get anywhere :P We got to the point of making an EP/radio play though if you like?

  • I do, although I don't have a camera so it's just audio, but I have around 9/10 videos, one of which is an original, I'd apreciate some extra views, but don't worry about subing, it's not important.

    Wish there were more like you

  • hey, mrPolkframadilis fuck you. if you think he sucks so much than why don't you get up away from the computer and learn to play the guitar yourself, or even better, drive it through your fucking skull

  • a why would you comment if Omar sucks? keep your opinions to you're self.. and by the way FUCK YOU! Omar is more talented than you will ever be.

  • asshole

  • lol your a joke cock boy, don't comment on something you could never compare to fuck head

  • HHAHAHA YOU LISTEN TO " DON OMAR" HAHAHAHAHA YOU ARE AN IDIOT I BELIEVe OMAR RODRIGUEZ IS THE BEST GUITARRIST OF THE CENTURY :) GO LISTEN TO SHITTY MUSIC WHEN YOUR BRAIN GROWS THEN MAYBE YOU COULD LISTEN TMV!

  • honestly this doesnt sound like it would be from deloused. the production is different. could be wrong. its cool as hell though.

  • this song was a demo that was supposed to be on de-loused but was determined that it didn't fit...cedric did however recycle the lyrics in an amputechture song

  • so fucking gnarley

  • 'Day of the Baphomets' is pure anarchaic genius so Im pleased this song ended up where it did! And 'Amputecture' is very underarated by the way!

  • Yeah this was later remade into Baphomets kinversoni, as much as I love this song I actually would much prefer keeping Baphomets on Amp, rather than adding this to Deloused. You just get a missing chromosome and you good to go! It feels like this would have interrupted the feel of Deloused which is perfect the way it is.

  • does ikey have a cardigan on???

  • these are the same lyrics as day of the baphomets at the begining?

  • hell yeah, i wonder what omar would do if a couple people came up to him and was like, put the music in the bag. "i don't know what your talking about man chill" NIGGA I KNOW YOU GOT UN-RELEASED ALBUMS NOW HAND EM OVER. then the rest the band comes out like ninjas, and we still don't have there stupid albums... I CAN'T WAIT ANOTHER MONTH YO. I keep finding new bands, and new music it just doesn't fill my mind with enough sounds... GIVE ME SOUNDs!

  • souunddddss.... delicious soundssss...sss...ssssss....

  • wtf....lol

  • that was the best thing i ever read

  • @PrimalKing hats off to who ever would do that. I have a suspicion that they would never be seen again.

  • @PrimalKing lol yea bug that's what his solo albums do for me.  Fill the void.

  • @PrimalKing you just gave me an awesome idea, then ruined it by reminding me they're ninjas. thank you.

  • @PrimalKing What the hell are you going on about? Are you high?

  • @PrimalKing make them yourself

  • @PrimalKing

    thats funny shit... I didnt know they were putting out an album, what is the release date?ive been listening to alot of the lopez group. Hell I am always looking for new music to jam, got any suggestions?

  • @PrimalKing Fucking fun

  • this is funny cus octahedron leaked! i heard it on youtube before it hit stores, it was also on pirate bay before it hit stores. lol.

    i still bought the album tho <3

  • tira me a las aranas + day of the baphomets + sped up eunuch provacateur break down @ 2:22?

  • Love the outro and that other interlude part.

  • The mars volta is a fucking ARMY!!

    REVOLUTION 2012!!!

  • i heard the sound was the one of deloused and i couldnt understand what album was it

  • Hey would you guys believe how stupid I am? when the volta came to miami in 2008, I was there early walking around taking in the scenery environment , and feeling in the air when I realized while walking with my dad (yes, a volta fan) the guy we just passed was Ikey..Isaiah man!!! OWENS!! i didnt recognize him (the dude lost some weight) until it was too late...though we did make eye contact tho...u know i kicked myself for that one..

  • the -1 was for that. Sorry T_T

  • headfuck!

  • A MISSING CHROMOSONE WALKS!!!

  • random comment: buy a manual dexterity soundtrack by omar rodriguez lopez (the mars volta for the newbs) cedric sings on a track called the plapitations form a limit. rad.

  • a manual dexterity and se dice are my favs

  • what do you think of old money? omar's new album.

  • Comment removed

  • Old Money is great. The first song Power of Myth is amazing, and Population Council is a recorded rendition of the live song Abortion: The Other White Meat. It's quite lovely

  • yea he's so brilliant...my favorite is private fortunes....i wonder how long; he had this album ready before its release date

  • Check out the promo for Cyptomnesia, his new album coming out with Zack Hill. I think its going to be my new fav.

  • Havnt heard it yet, though im sure it will blow me away!

  • typo:

    it's "the palpitations form a limit".

    People do you realize how brilliant these FUCKING ALIENS ARE?!

  • i've said that for months, this band is so obviously from outer space...mars...?

  • ... arent lots of these lyrics used in another more recent song..? ie day of the baphomets?

  • yeah, but this song is older, so technically baphomets borrows from this yes.

  • Please upload Agadez.

  • Whoa, this is awesome shit. Anybody know where I can find this song, Ambuletz and Frances the Mute in lossless? Are any of these tracks from imports or singles?

  • download A Missing Chromosome the album via torrents l]

  • Day of the Baphomets version 0.5 ;]

  • what a fucking groovy riff

  • wondefull song, well this song has day of baphomets lyrics right?? into the first verse

  • yes it does. and cedric felt like they would fit on baphomets so he used it. sounds crazy i love this song, outer space mars volta back in the delousssed daysss :D (the cattle prod part is in there too)

  • Even if this is fake, its dam good.

  • this is the devil's favorite band.hands down

  • i wish the ending went on forever. beautiful.

  • WORD !! synt for live, its like the cream on the ice !!

  • holly fuck there are a lot of band members that's why they do music thats so complex

  • i like some of this but im definately glad they reworked it. this sounds too much like alot of the other songs on deloused.

  • las drogas

  • shut the fuck up!  like being controlled? :) r

  • i like the one part, it sounds like there say "The mars volta is great! the mars volta is greaaaaaaat!!"

    Priceless.

  • this is the best latin bandin the firt dinasti from mexico izcalli for the concert in vive cuervo hay estare oiendolos fuck yeah

  • The beginning of this song sounds like a rough draft of the beginning of Day of the Baphomets.

  • day of the baphomets is a reworking of this song; look at the lyrics, they're recycled in certain parts

  • They said their next album (I hope they managed to release it at the end of this year) would be a mellow one.

    Would it eventually had the sounds and feel of the quieter parts of this song (esp. the sublime ending!), it would be freaking awesome..

  • i have heard these lyrics b4 lol pretty cool tune.

  • this song kicks ass. im so glad i found it. thanks mr rowan

  • This version is from the "missing chromosome", one of their albums that is very hard to find. They redid and its called "Day of the Baphomets" and its on amputechture

  • ...That was a fake.

  • what was fake

  • A Missing Chromosome, it's fake.
