Inspired by the children's nursery rhyme "Solomon Grundy", and the Greek myth of Hyacinthus,[2] Noctourniquet is a concept album.
Following the album's release, the Mars Volta broke up due to ongoing tension and disagreements between core members Rodriguez-Lopez and Bixler-Zavala. As a result, Noctourniquet became the final studio album of the band's initial run. In 2019, the band reunited in secret, releasing its first studio album in ten years, The Mars Volta, in 2022.
