Cryptomnesia

by El Grupo Nuevo de Omar Rodriguez Lopez

Recorded in 2006 but unreleased for years, this chaotic project unites the core members of The Mars Volta with Hella drummer Zach Hill. The album is an absolute explosion of hyper-speed, technical brutality, featuring mind-bendingly complex drum patterns and Cedric Bixler-Zavala's most unhinged, dissonant vocal performances. It serves as a fascinating, incredibly abrasive bridge between the aesthetics of math-rock and progressive post-hardcore.
