RED FANG - Arrows (Official Music Video) 

RED FANG return with their highly anticipated new album, Arrows! Their first album in five years, everyone's favorite beer-crushing, zombie-killing, air-guitar-contest-judging metal heroes are back in action, doing what they do best- AND MORE. “This record feels more like Murder The Mountains to me than any record we’ve done before or since,” bassist/vocalist Aaron Beam ventures. “It doesn’t sound like that record, but Murder the Mountains was us doing whatever the fuck we wanted, and that’s what this is, too.” Arrows was recorded at Halfling Studios in the band’s hometown of Portland, OR, with longtime collaborator Chris Funk, producer of Murder The Mountains and 2013’s Whales and Leeches. “Chris is a major influencer as far as the weird ambient stuff in between the songs and the creepy incidental noises within the songs,“ guitarist Bryan Giles points out. “I think he definitely creates an added layer of atmosphere that we wouldn’t have otherwise.” Arrows is also a proper title track, which is new territory for the band. “This is the first time we’ve named an album after a song that’s actually on the album,” Beam explains. “We have other albums that are named after songs of ours that are not on those albums. So this time we’re really fucking with you because we didn’t fuck with you.” Similarly, fans might not believe what the song “Arrows” is partially about. “If you’re confused by some of the lyrics to the song, that makes sense,” Beam explains. “But it makes reference to meditation. I started meditating six years ago, but I can only do it when I’m not feeling too anxious. So, when I don’t need it, that’s when I can do it.” Elsewhere, “Fonzi Scheme” was named after legendary Happy Days cool guy Arthur Fonzarelli-if only because it’s in the key of his famous catchphrase, “Aaay.” Producer Chris Funk came up with the idea of bringing in string players from the Portland Cello Project to class up the track. Meanwhile, the opening riff of closer “Funeral Coach” was written 11 years ago. But it took until recently for the song to blossom into its full double-entendre glory. “I was driving around and I saw a hearse that said ‘funeral coach services’ on the back,” Beam explains. “So the first thing that popped into my head was a dude with a headset and a clipboard going, ‘Alright, dudes-more tears! Five minutes in is when the tears are critical, or no one’s gonna believe that anyone cares that this person died.’” In a nod to tradition, Arrows will be available in formats that include all the drums, bass, guitars and vocals. But it could’ve gone another way. “Our original idea was to release the album with no vocals or guitar solos,” Beam explains. “If you want the guitar solos, it’s an extra five bucks. If you want the vocals, it’s an extra ten bucks. So basically people should feel lucky that we didn’t do that. You get to buy the whole thing altogether.”

It’s like they should have their own metal TV show on adult swim

'And that's why their videos are idiots!' Almost spat out my beer! 😂

bass tone is insane

They used their 2020 to study the blade.

Did anyone else catch when David was cutting the six pack plastic in the kitchen. I can’t stop laughing. Save the turtles!!!

Record label: How much budget do you need this time? Red Fang: We want a Katana!

Red Fang has set the gold standard for "heavy songs with hilarious music videos" It's like between them and Mastodon.

This makes me beyond happy, the "Wires" Flashbacks are strong with this one haha

No one does music videos better than Red Fang

What's your new song "Arrows" about? Red Fang - "Swords."

the only thing that matters is right here

Knowing we have a new Red Fang album due out has made this year so much better, awesome song as per usual

I have to admit, that "split the check" bit was ingenious. I knew it was coming, but the "execution" (eh? eh?) was hilarious.

These Red Fang videos keep getting better and better

Always the best video clips. ALWAYS!

Red Fang being Red Fang for 4 minutes straight, that's what I needed today! Can't wait to hear the rest of the album.

"have we done this before?" Yes my dude, Exactly 10 years ago🤘

:"How much fuzz do you want?" :"Yes."

"Should we split the check?" BAMM. I love it. Red Fang know how to deliver

"while you were getting high, I studied the blade."

"Mom those old dudes are out destroying stuff again. They stole our watermelon"

Finally a new Relapse release where the drums don’t sound way over produced like they’re hitting a plastic bucket

The king's of dad metal are back.

I love how no one complains when they realize their entire budget has been unilaterally spent on a sword. That's broship right there. Great band. Great vid! Definitely NOT an idiot.

Back to the old days - I love it! Well done!

Finally! Back with an old-fashioned video and song! 🤘⚔🤘

"These guys look like my plug." "Which one?" "Yes."

It's like watching wholesome Jackass while jammin' some Melvins. Bass makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.

Hell yes. This absolutely made my Monday.

This easily just became one of my favorite music videos of all time.

Best neighbors ever.👍🇨🇦

"Odd Couple" reference at 3:13. Damn, Red Fang, that's a deep (katana) cut.

Fuck yes! The boys are back. Sick song, cant wait for the album.

I love the Samurai Cop poster

Always a pleasure

Ah, my favourte bunch of daddies doing boyish stuff is back!

This is what the world needed, now i can take on 2021 and 2022

I love how they used the katana to break up the plastic from the cans so the little beach animals dont get choked. So thoughtful

Red fang makes the best videos hands down

This tune is HUGE

Fucking amazing! Great job, guys!

These guys have consistently put out some of the best music, and videos of the past thirteen years.

This main riff is unbelievable I can't get it out of my head. so good.

BEST video ever... I wish there would be an UNCUT version...

Keep up the good work lads!

nice to see that they still have their old dojo.

Everyone is rightfully praising the clip but what about the actual song? Because it's bloody stomping! This is my 2021 anthem.

Great band. Reminds me of Clutch and Melvins for all the good reasons.

2:22 So many times I wished to slice my alarm clock with a katana

I love Red Fang. I've had friendships that were formed solely on a mutual love for this band.

3:00 The hidden fortress. My brothers & I used to stay up late & watch that one on weekends

1:30 massive party fowl !!!

Coyle never gets a break.

I always forget how epic you guys are. Than watch a video again, and reminds you of the amazingness of it all. Keep on Bruvas

These riffs and melodies? Peak.

2:12 They need to release that book as part of their merchandise

Glad to see the flag helmet is still going strong after 10 beer soaked years.

This album will be on repeat this summer as I cruise down the road in my 79 boogie van. Needed this album. Thanks boys.

Seriously like they have the BEST MUSIC VIDEOS EVER!!!! NO ONE ELSE PUTS OUT VIDEOS LIKE THESE.

Spanish Love Songs now gonna make a depressive song about not having the best katana music video

U guys are making this year feels better! Thankyou!

Yes, with Red Fang back my year has just got better!

Thought this was going to be a lame and tired schtick. Nope. The video kicks ass!

I started to cry when they destroyed the vinyl...

Y'all are the coolest dudes ever

This is beyond and above art. This is visual poetry!

Here in Germany there is a saying that men live to be 7 years old then they only grow xD ... damn i need a Katana :D

Nerds be like: Saying "katana sword" is like saying "cafe' coffee"
