The Mars Volta have shared another song after ending their 10-year hiatus – listen to ‘Graveyard Love’ below.
The song teased earlier this week follows their comeback single ‘Blacklight Shine‘ which was released last month as the band shared details of a US tour.
Cedric Bixler-Zavala sings on the new track: “You better walk behind me, walk behind me again” and “How many times have we burnt it all down?/ Plumes of smoke, call it graveyard love/ Walk behind me, walk these hallways again.”
“They will seek your ruin, and burn your lands, because if they can’t have you, no one can,” Bixler-Zavala said of the song’s lyrics in a press release.
The Texas-formed band released six studio albums between 2003 and 2012 before splitting due to a falling out between founding members Bixler-Zavala and Omar Rodríguez-López.
The pair quickly made amends, however, and formed a new group, Antemasque. They also revamped their pre-Mars Volta outfit, At-the-Drive-In, for a new record in 2017.
Details of a potential new album, which would follow on from 2012’s ‘Noctourniquet’, are yet to emerge.
The Mars Volta also recently announced additional dates for their US tour, which will run from September 23 until October 21. You can buy tickets from here, and check out the band’s upcoming tour dates in full below.
