11. qr5' (The Mars Volta leak)

Credits to the guys at the coma for the description and lyrics
11. qr5'
- Length: 6:42
- Rough demo
- Instrumental
- Presumably recorded prior to 2006
Personnel: Omar, Juan, Jon
- Has a percussion & mellotron breakdown.
- It has been suggested that a lot of the drums are the same as A Plague Upon Your Hissing, and that some of it is the same as the second half of the 2001 demo version of Roulette Dares.
- It has also been suggested that it's a very early version of Metatron.
- It has even further been suggested that it's reminiscent of the tracks on Old Money.

[@sophiesoulerin6195]

[@guitaoist]

They are so underrated, rock is dead without these guys

[@lucianorrocha]

It's so good that this turned into an Omar song :)

The sound of gods

For me the drum mixing sounds much better here than in Semilles, mainly the cymbals.

[@paulomubarak9591]

alguien make a good description ...All the tracks! tank You!!!

[@XzessTool]

Remembers me old TMV songs.

[@Ivanselectsongs]

the drums sound so much BETTER in Semillas

[@DavidHedriana]

this must have been what became Metatron. listen for it~

[@DeadeyesX311]

doesnt sound anything like this not even the intro is the same they have to many different sections to be the same song like the percussion here is nowhere in metatron

[@DeadeyesX311]

if anything its a different rendition from what became a plauge upon your hissing

[@DavidHedriana]

I also hear the end to Zed and Two Naughts immediately
"Lastborn prey and firstborn caught
Crawling like an animal
Hold your breath its feeding time
In this zed and two naughts"

[@DavidHedriana]

it's got the "plague" demo quality...

[@DavidHedriana]

and it also sounds like it could back the "folding wormholes" part of cavalettas

[@genefreak2]

TMV is religion, these guys are high priests.

[@painsho]

Some sounds of Xenophanes album from Omar´s solo projects
