RED FANG have announced a new album!

Titled Arrows, the upcoming album from the American stoner metal band is the long-awaited follow-up to 2016’s Only Ghosts which is scheduled to be released in June this year, via Relapse Records.

“It was so gratifying to put these songs on tape with Funk!” says guitarist/vocalist Bryan Giles of the album that was produced by longtime collaborator Chris Funk [2011’s Murder The Mountains, 2013’s Whales and Leeches]. “It felt very comfortable with a loose schedule. We didn’t take it one song at a time, but added guitars, vocals, or general weirdness whenever an idea sprang to mind. We busted out a hurdy gurdy! It was that fun. Long live Rock!!”

“WOW! We are SO EXCITED to finally release this record to the world! We finished the album way back in December 2019 and then… something happened that is not worth discussing…,” adds vocalist/bassist Aaron Beam. “Making this record felt totally loose and easy. It felt like we were just doing whatever the fuck we wanted, and not overthinking anything. That attitude reminded me a lot of what it felt like to make Murder the Mountains. The result doesn’t sound anything like MTM, but it has more of that vibe.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for the first song lifted from the upcoming record; the title-track Arrows. For the new music video, the band worked once again with director Whitey McConnaughy. “His way of presenting us really works,” says guitarist David Sullivan of the band’s relationship with Whitey. “That first video he did for us for Prehistoric Dog gave us a big jumpstart as far as the band getting popular. And we love working with him.”
