ANNOUNCE SECOND LEG OF U.S. FALL TOUR
THIRD ALBUM‘WHALES AND LEECHES’ARRIVES OCTOBER 15 ON RELAPSE RECORDS
L-R: Bryan Giles [Guitar/Vocals], David Sullivan [Guitar], John Sherman [Drums], Aaron Beam [Bass/Vocals].
As they prepare to launch their fall U.S. tour, the Portland, OR-based group RED FANG are premiering a brand new song, “No Hope,” today (September 18) on GuitarWorld.com and Revolvermag.com. Listen here: GUITAR WORLD and REVOLVER. The group will release their third studio album, WHALES AND LEECHES--both in stores and via digital retailers--on October 15 on Relapse Records; fans can pre-order here: http://bit.ly/RedFangWhales and via iTunes at http://georiot.co/4Bof for an exclusive track only available during pre-order. Meanwhile, RED FANG will kick off the their fall headlining U.S. tour beginning October 1 at the Red Bull Sound Select event in Portland, OR and before wrapping up full-circle on December 27 in their hometown (see confirmed dates below). Supporting acts are Helms Alee, Dog Shredder and Gaytheist for the first leg and from The Shrine, Indian Handcrafts, Cancer Bats and Radkey on the second leg.
Masters of the hard rock hook, RED FANG--BRYAN GILES (Guitar/Vocals), AARON BEAM (Bass/Vocals), DAVID SULLIVAN (Guitar) and JOHN SHERMAN (Drums)--have delivered an epic record with WHALES AND LEECHES. The band 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.
Poised for a
solid debut, WHALES AND LEECHES sees the group further
maturing into top notch songwriters and is already being hailed by fans and
critics alike:
“a
gruff, flesh-hungry challenge to Queens
of the Stone Age's throne.”
SPIN (re
first single “Blood Like Cream,” August 27, 2013)
“high-gloss,
high-impact, catchy-as-all-f*** stoner-sludge…’Blood Like Cream’ is the first
single to be released from Red Fang’s forthcoming third
LP, Whales And Leeches; the thing
just stomps from the first drum hit, but when it shifts into the
brain-frying bridge two-thirds of the way through, it takes flight and soars.
Listen.”
--Michael
Nelson, STEREOGUM, (August 27, 2013)
“…it is Red
Fang, and it burns like magma.”
--Ned
Lannaman, PORTLAND MERCURY (August 19, 2013)
"Blood
Like Cream" is essentially the sound of driving down a highway
really fast, in the middle of the desert, while the sun watches you with a
little malice as it tries desperately to melt you.”
-Greg
Kennelty, METAL INJECTION.NET (August 28,
2013)
“It’s a
really fun song, catchy, raucous and by metal standards at least,
upbeat, the kinda ditty that makes me want to snort bad things and hula
hoop for several hours.”
--Axl
Rosenberg, METAL SUCKS.NET (re “Blood Like Cream”,
