While Cedric Bixler-Zavala and Omar RodrГ­guez-LГіpez are reuniting with their At The Drive-In bandmates, the pair still found time to write and record a new Mars Volta album.

The end result, entitled Noctourniquet, will hit stores on March 27th via Warner Bros.

The band’s sixth LP, the 13-track effort was written by Bixler-Zavala and Rodríguez-López and traces a narrative inspired by “disparate elements including ’80s UK alt-rockers The Godfathers, Superman comic nemesis Solomon Grundy and the Greek myth of Hyacinthus,” according to press for the album. Rodríguez-López handled production, while Juan Alderete de la Pena, Marcel Rodríguez-López, and Deantoni Parks filled out the rest of the band’s lineup.
