Red Fang announce tour with Torche and Whores, releasing 'Only Ghosts'

Portland heavy rockers Red Fang are getting ready to release their new album Only Ghosts, their follow-up to 2013’s Whales and Leeches, which is out October 14 on Relapse. After doing their last two albums with The Decemberists’ Chris Funk producing, they got into the studio with post-hardcore/nu metal master Ross Robinson this time. The lead single “Flies” is a signature Red Fang song, a forward-driving sludge-rocker that splits the sonic difference between Queens of the Stone Age and the Melvins with a premium on hook delivery.

Meanwhile, they’ve just announced a big North American tour with like-minded sludge merchants Torche and Whores. That run will take them to NYC for a show at Mercury Lounge on December 5. Tickets for that show go on AmEx presale Wednesday (8/3) at noon and on sale to the general public Friday (8/5) at noon.
