RED FANG, who recently celebrated their tenth anniversary with a trio of Northwestern U.S. performances, return to the studio in February, recording the follow-up to Whales & Leeches with famed producer Ross Robinson (Amen, Korn, At The Drive-In).

“I’ve never been more excited about making a record in my life,” said drummer John Sherman. “The writing process for this album has been super fun and full of energy and good vibes. And the opportunity to work with Ross Robinson is so crazy – I’ve got goose bumps just talking about it!!”

Music Video: Red Fang – “The Meadows”

Posted by SeanB on Tuesday, August 12, 2014 at 5:48 PM (PST)

Portland, Oregon heavy metallers Red Fang have just released a new music video for their song “The Meadows.” The video is pretty much hilarious as it chronicles the band getting all dressed up to shove absurd amounts of food down their gullets, in slow motion. These guys usually put out pretty awesome videos, and this is no exception. Just a warning though, if you’re feeling hungry you might want to put down a quick meal before you watch. Or don’t because you might puke.

Anyways you can click right here to check it out.

Red Fang released The Red Fang EP for free back in May under Scion AV and you can find it here if you’re interested. It included this song and another called “The Shadows.” The band also released a full length called Whales and Leeches last October via Relapse earning their best sales and critical response to date.

Red Fang reveal “playthrough” video for “No Hope”, cover Elvis

Posted by Morgan Y Evans - Walking Bombs on Wednesday, March 5, 2014 at 2:30 PM (PST)

Portland, OR’s hard rock heroes RED FANG have revealed a “playthrough” video for the song “No Hope” off their latest album Whales and Leeches. In keeping up with with the rising popularity of instructional videos, the members got together to show their fans and critics how to play the track on a variety of non-traditional instruments. Check out the clip streaming exclusively via Gear Gods here.

Additionally, the band is gearing up to kick off the second leg of their headlining European tour with label-mates Lord Dying and The Shrine. A full list of dates including many recently upgraded, bigger venues is included below along with a string of recently announced European summer festival appearances. The band will also be playing a special hometown show at the Wonder Ballroom on March 8th in Portland, OR before embarking on the month long trek.

RED FANG have been making waves with their latest album, Whales and Leeches, recently performing their single “Blood Like Cream” on Late Night With David Letterman (Watch the clip here) and releasing another one of their signature, hilarious music videos directed by longtime collaborator Whitey McConnaughy for the same song (Watch it here).

Red Fang also recently recorded a tantalizing cover of Elvis’ “Can’t Help Falling In Love” for the Portland compilation series “Fools Rush In.” The song is available for download here.

Album Review: Red Fang – Whales and Leeches

Posted by Morgan Y Evans - Walking Bombs on Saturday, December 28, 2013 at 4:06 PM (PST)

Red-Fang-Whales-And-Leeches-Artwork

This record doesn’t really need any more press, considering it was one of the most anticipated of in recent muddy memory. I should be telling you to check out the newest from Nhor or Wolfheart…but still, Metal Riot has to chime in, since we are (dare I say) a somewhat reputable and popular site for all things hairy, hoary and goat whoring. It is hard to judge Red Fang on their own merits, because they are so hyped. If any band kind of gets saddled with the pressure to be the next Mastodon, Red Fang have sort of inherited the burden through sheer popularity. Let’s face it, imposing expectations on a band like that is kind of unfair and demanding. And God/The Devil/Gaia forbid a great band does get more popular, like The Sword. It often means they are subject to bitter, keyboard cowboy potshots. Sometimes this type of attitude leads to bands being more similar or insular, protected by stylistic similarity. Other times it means someone rebels and breaks the mold more.

In the case of Red Fang 3.0, they return hard with more rock n’ roll centric sludge metal, a fairly accessible but nonetheless non-pussified and burly sound that is impossible for bearded young men and women with IPA’s in hand to resist. Whales and Leeches isn’t as manic as their debut or Murder The Mountains but is probably better than both overall. There is no “Wires” but there are plenty of cuts that will stick to you like gorilla snot. “Blood Like Cream” was a great choice for a single, a mentally ill and obsessive feeling celebration that is kinda garagey. My favorite of the album is track #3, the Black Flag-level rollicking “No Hope”, with a simple bar fight bassline to kill for. When Red Fang buckle down and just plain deliver, it is the kind of straight pay off that explains their popularity. Now if more of their fans would discover similarly riff-centric and rocking albums like Castle’s fucking awesome Blacklands or the more doomy and emotionally draining but cathartic Lumbar record (for example), I’d be stoked.

Red Fang seeking extras to play drunk zombies…

Posted by tyrusrunyan on Friday, November 1, 2013 at 11:39 AM (PST)

The headline just about says it all. Portland, Oregon metal band Red Fang are looking for people to play drunk zombies for a music video. Since it’s location specific I normally wouldn’t post this kind of thing but that’s just super bad ass. If you are in the Portland, Oregon area get ourselves our there for this.

Relapse Records comments:
“You will be playing the part of a terrifying new breed of zombie, a beer zombie! These zombies will stop at nothing in order to consume beer. These zombies aren’t dead, just dead drunk. We will need your best stumbling drunk impressions for the camera as you run amok.

“We are looking for all types of people, young, old, men and women. If interested you need to email your name and phone number to redfangextras@gmail.com (if possible, please include a photo of yourself) You will then be emailed the location and shoot time.

“Please try to bring at least 2-3 different wardrobe items. We will be outside all day, so dress weather appropriate. We would love it if you dressed a part, maybe a trashman, surgeon, business man, Quickie mart clerk, mechanic, mail man, etc. Anything will work but we’d love to have a wide range of looks, not all jean jackets and black jeans.

“If you have a favorite beer coozie, beer can helmet, beer bong, beer mug or any other drinking accessory please bring it with you.”

New Video: Red Fang – “Hank is Dead”

Posted by jessepac on Thursday, January 26, 2012 at 1:16 PM (PST)

While we weren’t too pleased with Red Fang‘s last album Murder the Mountains, their intial burst onto the music scene was with the hilarious video for “Prehistoric Dog.” The gang has figured out that funny equals money, so the new track “Hank is Dead” sees the band try their hand at slapstick again.

The video starts with a man drinking a beer in a shower (a personal favorite activity of mine) and sees the band head to an Air Guitar battle for the ages.

Click here to see if Red Fang has topped themselves!
