On the heels of their creative resurrection with 2022's self-titled comeback record, The Mars Volta's latest project finds its two co-stars, Omar Rodríguez-López and Cedric Bixler-Zavala exploring their personal history. A documentary, which was first released last year and directed by Nicolas Jack Davies, reveals much about their origins and the struggles that the two encountered on the road to forming preceding band, At the Drive In, before re-emerging as prog-metal monolith, The Mars Volta.
The documentary, named 'Omar and Cedric: If This Ever Gets Weird' is currently showing at select US cinemas from the 20th November with UK dates to follow. In an interview with The Guardian, Bixler-Zavala says; “Most music documentaries just tell you, ‘They made this album and then they became famous and then tragedy struck, this documentary is about the humanity behind all of that. It shows people being honest about their insecurities and vulnerabilities and how that affected the way they treated each other.”
