Murder the Mountains
Red Fang
Released:
Apr 2011
Label:
Relapse Records
Though fond of both stoner plod and thrash rush, this Oregon four-piece doesn't shy away from radio-friendly choruses. Spans of their second album could almost pass for Stone Temple Pilots (the fuzzy opening of "Dirt Wizard") or even The Offspring ("Painted Parade"). A closer analogy, though, might be Queens Of The Stone Age, for how songs like "Number Thirteen" and "Wires" locate distanced, yawping-lumberjack melodies in a riff-repeating morass. Add occasional exotic sonic additives (notably in "The Undertow") and you've got a reasonably varied alt-metal album that goes down easier than most.
