The Mars Volta are returning to Australia to play shows in Perth, Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne this June in support of their fourth album The Bedlam in Goliath (out now through Universal Music).
The Bedlam in Goliath was born after a fateful visit to a curio shop in Jerusalem by Omar where he purchased a Ouija board as a gift to Cedric. Renamed ‘The Soothsayer’ the Ouija board became the band’s post-show ritual. As interaction with The Soothsayer increased, other worldly instances began to overwhelm the band – including physical ailments, studio flooding, music tracks disappearing and the album’s original engineer suffering a nervous breakdown.
On the eve of restarting their project, Omar buried The Soothsayer, in an attempt to reverse the curse that had plagued them. The Bedlam in Goliath follows the stories told to The Mars Volta by The Soothsayer, as they attempt to reverse curse set upon them.
With an ever-growing profile, there is no doubt tickets to The Mars Volta’s forthcoming shows will be snapped up quickly.
