The remastered box-set will also include Landscape Tantrums, the original unfinished recordings of De-Loused in the Comatorium. It will be limited to 5,000 copies worldwide and will also include both an exclusive behind-the-scenes photobook and two collectible pin-badges.

In a statement, the band said: “We said all-encompassing: the thing about this box-set is that it includes the first ever release of recordings that fans of the band have long seen as The Mars Volta “holy grail” – shrouded in myth and rumour: do they exist? If so, where are they kept? Who is keeping them? And will we ever be able to listen to them? Well, now, we can!”

The band also went on to discuss Landscape Tantrums, describing it as more raw, emotional and tightly coiled than any of their previous releases. “It is a central part of the band’s history” says producer Johann Scheerer, “the recordings prove just how much this band had to share, even so soon after its founding. But they also show just how much force this music could have if you didn’t have a producer like Rick Rubin behind the mixing desk.”

La Realidad De Los Sueños will feature 18 LPs (180 grams, black vinyl). It is available to pre-order now, with a release date of April, 23rd 2021.
