WHALES AND LEECHES--due out today, October 15 on Relapse Records--is gaining momentum as Revolver magazine hailed, "Queens of the Stone Age-meets Mastodon. ...The new Red Fang album is a violent one, from its burly riffage to its apocalyptic lyrics.
Masters of the hard rock hook, RED FANG--BRYAN GILES (Guitar/Vocals), AARON BEAM (Bass/Vocals), DAVID SULLIVAN (Guitar) and JOHN SHERMAN (Drums)--worked with producer Chris Funk (Decemberists) and mixer Vance Powell (White Stripes, Raconteurs, Kings of Leon). This same team worked on the group's last album Murder the Mountains (April 2011), which sold over 50,000 albums under the radar and allowed the band to tour with sold-out shows and attract rabid fans for over two years. With the help of guests Mike Scheidt (Yob) and Pall Jenkins (The Black Heart Procession), WHALES AND LEECHES propels RED FANG into the upper stratosphere of hard rock and metal elite.
In tech news, the band has launched a new video game--a virtual beer shot-gunning challenge for fans--and if enough users share the game, they'll be able to unlock the new RED FANG track "Behind the Light." Play and share here: http://beer.redfang.net.
