Julio Venegas is an artist from El Paso, Texas who committed suicide in 1996. The Mars Volta, a prog-rock band comprised of former members of the El Paso band At the Drive-In and other musicians, released a debut album entitled De-Loused in the Comatorium, which is a concept album about a character named Cerpin Taxt, whom the band has said is based almost entirely on Venegas. The lyrics are often cryptic or unintelligible, but a lyric book released later revealed that the album details his descent into a coma after overdosing on morphine and his subsequent visions. After deciding to wake up, he reenters the world and finally takes his own life. The band has said that the album is a sort of eulogy to Venegas, with whom they were friends while in El Paso. Venegas' later life experiences were similar to the lyrical story; having been scarred from allegedly injecting rat poison into his arm, he slipped into a coma from a drug overdose. Some time after he awoke from his coma, Venegas committed suicide by jumping from a freeway overpass and into moving traffic. == External links == [http://www.marsvolta.com/band/index.html The Mars Volta's official site: about Venegas and the album] The Mars Volta:Fictional Characters
''from VfD:'' This is an article for a not notable artist who committed suicide in 1996. Very sad, but still not notable. User:Dsmdgold 23:05, Oct 10, 2004 (UTC) * Keep. Almost 1,000 hits on Google is notable enough, surely? User:163.1.141.7 00:52, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC) *Copyvio from [http://www.hiponline.com/artist/music/m/mars_volta/ here]. The #2 hit I get is someone in trouble with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, who is presumably not the same guy, as he was in Pittsburg and lying about being the radiation safety officer (he was and denied it). Secondly, the band Mars Volta or At The Drive In dedicated an album to the artist, so that could account for the Google hits and either contribute to or take away from the notability.

That is his only claim to notability. Just add a note to that article.--User:Jll 21:09, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC) *Delete. He was 23 when he died.
