True to his mission to “always make the next album sound different to the one that came before it, to always be evolving,’’ Omar Rodriguez-López, leader of The Mars Volta, avoided “many layers, or an instrumental freak-out section here or there’’ and reined himself in for “Octahedron.’’ This is the latest release for the Grammy-winning prog-rock band from El Paso that rocks the House of Blues tomorrow. Oct. 7 at 8 p.m. $35, $40. House of Blues, 15 Lansdowne St., Boston. 800-745-3000. www.livenation.com
