Description
Noctourniquet is the sixth and final studio album, released on March 26, 2012. Produced by Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, it is the band's only studio album to feature drummer Deantoni Parks. Inspired by the children's nursery rhyme "Solomon Grundy", and the Greek myth of Hyacinthus,[2] Noctourniquet is a concept album. Vocalist Cedric Bixler Zavala comments, "It's about embracing life for what it should be. There's a view of the elitist lifestyle - that being an artist is unattainable. I'm trying to write this story that reminds people that we're all artists."
