Through their 2009 self-titled debut album, the sophomore effort ‘Murder The Mountains’ in 2011, and lots of touring all around for the past few years, Portland, Oregon-based riffmongers Red Fang have caught the attention of just about everyone who has anything to do with heavy stoner metal. The band is now ready to release their third studio album ‘Whales And Leeches’ via Relapse Records on October 15th, and to coincide with the release they are embarking on a run of headline dates starting tonight in Sacramento and hitting the Troubadour in West Hollywood tomorrow October 10th. Recently, I had a chat with bassist/vocalist Aaron Beam about the making of the album, past touring experiences including Metallica’s Orion Festival, and more. Listen to the 10-minute chat below.
