"Prog rockers the Mars Volta have announced their sixth album, Noctourniquet, will hit stores on March 27th. The album, the band's first set of new songs since Octahedron was released in 2009, will tell the story of a character inspired by the Superman villain Solomon Grundy and the Greek myth of Hyacinthus. As with previous Mars Volta records, the music was composed by Cedric Bixler-Zavala and Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, who also produced the set...

The track listing for Noctourniquet is as follows:

"The Whip Hand"
"Aegis"
"Dyslexicon"
"Empty Vessels Make the Loudest Sound"
"The Malkin Jewel"
"Lapochka"
"In Absentia"
"Imago"
"Molochwalker"
"Trinkets Pale of Moon"
"Vedemalady"
"Noctourniquet"

I have but haven't had a chance to listen yet. Still disappointed no vinyl released has been announced.

Has there been a Vinyl pre-order yet?

Not that I've seen. iTunes and CD only. They usually wait to release the vinyl though. Made the mistake of preordering Octahedron on CD and then found out later it was on vinyl. So I'll just wait because you know it's coming.

"Sorry for the delay but the The Mars Volta vinyl pre-order will be up next week - we tried but still need one more peice of artwork for the 'special' extra that comes with it."

this was posted on March 1 by omar's facebook page. the vinyl preorder should have gone up last week, but obviously there was a delay. so we should see it up sometime this week,, hopefully
