Cedric Bixler has left The Mars Volta. You can read his series of tweets revealing the news. It seems as if the band is going break up with his departure.
Gutted.
They were already announced as being on 'hiatus' by Omar, but this kind of confirms that it was actually a break up.
I really hope Cedric does something with Ikey and Jon Theodore in the future, that'd rule.
Loved everything up to Bedlam. Noctourniquet was alright. Will kind of miss these guys, but they will go down in history. Definitely one of the best prog-rock bands I've ever listened to.
