"Day of the Baphomets" is the seventh song on The Mars Volta's third album Amputechture. It starts off with a mind blowing bass solo from Juan Alderete, who cut his teeth in metal bands such as Racer X. In this solo, he seems to emulate the jazz-rock styles of the late Jaco Pastorius, of whom Alderete is a self-professed fan. The song turns into total chaos. This is the most inaccessible song there is here, mainly because it is complex and very loud. Like Tetragrammaton, it has many changes within the song, but is more coherent, and the sections are more enjoyable,thanks to great riffs and solos. In minute 6, an amazing rhythmic riffs blows you away, and it will later come back with a mindblowing guitar solo. Between the space between the two riffs, you have a catchy and fast-paced section

In minute 6, an amazing rhythmic riffs blows you away, and it will later come back with a mindblowing guitar solo. Between the space between the two riffs, you have a catchy and fast-paced section with a great background riff. If any of the lyrics “Baphomets” sound familiar, it’s because Cedric recycled some of them from a previously unreleased Mars Volta song "A Plague Upon Your Hissing" . “Baphomets” also prominently features a percussion solo by Omar’s brother Marcel Rodriguez-Lopez, and a very odd battle of Omar Rodriguez-Lopez and Adrián Terrazas-Gonzálezas the style of bands like "Yes".
