Masters of the hard rock hook, RED FANG 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.
As they prepare to kick off their U.S. tour October 9 , the Portland, OR-based group have announced they'll return to
