The Mars Volta release live recording of “Reina Tormenta / Enlazan Las Tinieblas”

The Mars Volta, a progressive rock band, posted a live version of their songs “Reina Tormenta” and “Enlazan Las Tinieblas“, as per theprp. Both are from their upcoming live CD, “Lucro Sucio; Unfinished Business,” which the band assembled through mysterious fan vote. This effort was put together from a variety of live recordings made during the band’s fall 2025 North American tour in support of their most recent album, “Lucro Sucio; Los Ojos Del Vacio.” “Lucro Sucio; Unfinished Business” was supposed to be released digitally on September 4th, however it has already been postponed until November 20th. Right now, The Mars Volta is getting ready to go back on the road.

The project marks a milestone for the band, representing their first official live release since 2005’s “Scabdates.” Far from being a simple live recording of their latest studio album, “Lucro Sucio; Los Ojos del Vacío” is a profound reinterpretation of the original material with an added twist: the band’s invitation to fans to participate directly in the album’s creation process by offering them access to live recordings made during their 2025 tour.

This upcoming live album documents exactly how the new material has evolved on stage, highlighting the band’s renowned live intensity, its spirit of improvisation, and its increasingly varied approach to live performance. “Lucro Sucio; Unfinished Business” will be available in three different formats, allowing collectors of physical media to choose between a special-edition CD Digipak or a limited-edition double vinyl (2LP) box set.
