Emogame? Mars Volta create video game
- Artists:
- The Mars Volta »
Increasingly nebulous proggers the Mars Volta have made a computer game to accompany their forthcoming album.
Goliath The Soothsayer is the name of the game, which is based on the band’s experiences with Cedric Bixler-Zavala’s ouija board.
It'll be released on the 2nd of January, exclusively at Amazon.com, and is available ‘til the 29th of January, which is the ETA for new record Bedlam in Goliath.
Cedric has, of course, appeared in a video game before - one of the main characters in EmoGame during his time at At the Drive-in.

The Mars Volta
...
How can anyone say this band aren't awesome. They have a COMPUTER GAME now!
"How can anyone say this band aren't awesome."
they've heard their records?
sorry
you appear to have spelt it wrong, the proper spelling is:
Emerson, Lake and Palmer
...
Those people haven't HEARD their records.
wuh?
i'm with stealthy.
what the fuck are they going to do with their next record? a theme park?!
This is probably the most awesome idea ever
or the most stupid. But either way, it's fucking cool.
^ exactly
:D
"what the fuck are they going to do with their next record? a theme park?!"
write some good songs? :D
:D
This is.... just wow.
it's fucking ridiculous
BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THERE ARE ONLY TWO SORTS OF BANDS TO LISTEN TO YEAH WOAH TOTALLY RIGHT
Amazing
amazing
amazing
hold the presses! mars volta fans lack
perspective and cannot take criticism SHOCKER!
well i for one am VERY excited
i just hope there isnt too much blandness like their last record
having heard three songs of the new record
I can proclaim the first quarter of the record to be.. um. 'huge'. Also like a cross between Led Zeppelin, Smashing Pumpkins and Yes. But not good.
If the final three-quarters are really good, do let me know.

I think they might have
if you read the article.
I love this band
LOVE
There's a trailer for the game here..

Yeah. Great band, the last album though was absolute nonsense and I'm not hopeful about this one.
Didn't their mothers ever tell them
not to play with ouija boards? nonetheless, i still want a piece of this.
you sir
are an ignoramus. ELP my arse...is that the only prog band you know? King Crimson on meth, maybe.
Why is everyone hatin'?
Amputechture was brilliant!
lol
more like Rick Wakeman's Wives Of Henry VIII.... ON DOWNERS!!!!11!
'they sound more like yes'
You mean they have no artistic merit?!
^^ this
Although fortunately they've yet to drift as far astray as Coheed & cocking Cambria.
