De-Loused  in  the  Comatorium  is  the  debut  full-length studio  album  by  American  progressive  rock  band 

 The Mars Volta and was originally released in 2003. Based on a short story written by lead singer Cedric 

Bixler-Zavala and sound manipulation artist Jeremy Michael Ward, the concept album is an hour-long tale of

Cerpin Taxt, a man who enters a week-long coma after overdosing on a mixture of morphine and rat poison.

The title of the album is taken from the lyrics of the song “Eunuch Provocateur”, which is included on 

the band’s debut EP, Tremulant. The cover artwork is by Storm Thorgerson, who also designed the

 artwork for the album Frances the Mute. The album is co-produced by Rick Rubin and The Mars Volta

guitarist Omar Rodriguez-Lopez. As Eva Gardner, the original bassist, parted ways with the band,

Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea is featured at bass guitar player on the album.

The vinyl edition of the album was only released in the US in limited quantities and is a much wanted vinyl piece.
