"Asilos Magdalena" is the fifth song on The Mars Volta's third album Amputechture. It begins very avant-garde and unmelodic, but after forty seconds, it develops into an outstanding acoustic song with Spanish lyrics, wich could be understand as an ode to satan with the subtle tempo changes between verses and choruses. The highlight of Asilos are the spooky, simple choruses that anyone could play on the guitar. After the second chorus, a great melody is repeated by Cedric with two acoustic guitars. Eventually, the vocals get more and more distorted until a psychedelic guitar solo to finally emerge into "Viscera Eyes".

  • "Asilos Magdalena" is the fifth song on The Mars Volta's third album Amputechture. It begins very avant-garde and unmelodic, but after forty seconds, it develops into an outstanding acoustic song with Spanish lyrics, wich could be understand as an ode to satan with the subtle tempo changes between verses and choruses. The highlight of Asilos are the spooky, simple choruses that anyone could play on the guitar. After the second chorus, a great melody is repeated by Cedric with two acoustic guitars. Eventually, the vocals get more and more distorted until a psychedelic guitar solo to finally emerge into "Viscera Eyes". It’s basically an excellent stream of acoustic guitar which accompanies melodic singing style with Latin nuance. The acoustic guitar work is really stunning for my ears. Overall, this track is quite accessible for wider audience – it’s the most digestive song from this album.
