Description

Original Pressing

De-Loused in the Comatorium is the first LP and concept album by the progressive rock band The Mars Volta. Based on a short story by lead singer Cedric Bixler-Zavala, and sound manipulation artist Jeremy Michael Ward, it is the hour-long tale of Cerpin Taxt, a man who tries to kill himself by overdosing on morphine. The attempt lands him in a week-long coma during which he experiences visions of humanity and his own psyche. Upon waking, he is dissatisfied with the real world and jumps to his death. The story of Cerpin Taxt is based on the death of El Paso, Texas artist (and Bixler-Zavala's friend) Julio Venegas. Coincidentally, one month before the album was released, the band's sound manipulation artist, Jeremy Michael Ward, died of an apparent heroin overdose.

De-Loused became both critically and commercially their biggest hit, eventually selling in excess of 500,000 copies despite next-to-no promotion, and was featured on several critics' "Best of the Year" lists. The album was ranked number 55 on the October 2006 issue of Guitar World magazine's list of the 100 greatest guitar albums of all time.

The music contained in De-Loused is distinguished by its enigmatic lyrics, Latin rhythms, odd time signatures, and Omar Rodriguez-Lopez's frenetic guitar riffs, which are often harshly dissonant. The title of this album is taken from the lyrics of the song "Eunuch Provocateur" on the band's previous release, Tremulant.

I'm also included the original book that was supposed to come with the initial LP release, but because of time constraints or issues with printing or whatever, was not included in the original pressing. It took months to get and is pretty rare, from what I understand.

Buyer must pay by PayPal within three days of auction ending.

I will ship anywhere in the world if you tell me how and are willing to pay the costs associated. Otherwise, this will be shipped USPS Priority Mail. If it's possible, I will combine shipping rates for multiple items purchased. I will discuss with the buyer any additional fees if anyone bids on multiple items and would like shipping to be combined. I'll have to check on what the price would be to combine multiple LPs or items.
Thanks for stopping by and good luck.
