What do you get when you mix heavy metal, hard rock, and stoner metal together in a cauldron with long hair and big beards thrown in the mix? What you get is Red Fang!
Making up this band you have Bryan Giles on guitar and vocals, Aaron Beam on bass and vocals, David Sullivan on guitar, and John Sherman on drums. Each one of these guys have been around the Portland, Oregon band scene for a while and have no doubt made an impression on anyone that attended Mayhem Fest this year.
Their self titled album starts off with "Prehistoric Dog" and keeps you locked in until the last song "Witness." There are very few albums I can listen to the whole way through from start to finish without skipping a track. Just when you get to the more mellow slower paced song "Humans Remain Human Remains" the album picks it back up with "Good to Die." If you have yet to see the bands first music video I highly suggest you do yourself and favor and watch Prehistoric Dog.
With Red Fang's second album "Murder the Mountains" there is much improvement over the production and over all sound of the music. The boys really stepped it up with the first track "Malverde", a sludgy hard hitting song with thunderous drums and bass along with distorted guitars and keeps it going with the catchy guitar rifts and lyrics in "Wires." The band released their second music video along with this album. This video has money, explosions, comedian Brian Posehn, a 1979 Impala station wagon, milk, a pinball machine, and lots and lots of things getting smashed up! Check it out!
Red Fang is currently on tour with Mastodon and The Dillinger Escape Plan. Check out Red Fangs website for tour dates as well as songs from both albums!
