Comments

The Mars Volta has set a Jan. 29, 2008, release date for "The Bedlam in Goliath," which was produced by band member Omar Rodriguez Lopez. The 12-track set is the follow-up to 2006's "Amputechture," which has sold 148,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

A video set to the track "Wax Simulacra" can be streamed from the band's Web site. Among the guests on the album is Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante, a frequent contributor on past efforts.
