The Mars Volta

During the summer of 2012, The Mars Volta took the stage at the Open'er Festival in Poland, a notable spot in their career following the release of their album 'Noctourniquet' earlier that year. This was an ambitious record, merging progressive rock with themes of subconscious exploration and the cosmos. Fans were treated to a live performance that showcased the band’s expansive sound and energetic theatrics, reflecting their ongoing evolution since their last studio album. Interestingly, 'Noctourniquet' was their first release after a four-year hiatus and was inspired by 'The Hollow Earth', a novel connecting to their penchant for exploring surreal narratives. The intensity and complexity of their live show during this festival perfectly encapsulated where they were musically at that moment, proving that The Mars Volta always deliver an unforgettable auditory experience.
