Red Fang, who release Only Ghosts on October 14th via Relapse Records, have announced the first tour in support of the ten song album, kicking off on November 18th at Slim’s in San Francisco.
 
Torche and Whores will support on all US dates, which are sponsored by Revolver Magazine, Orange Amps and Dunlop, while Torche will also join Red Fang on their forthcoming European trek. Tickets are on-sale this Friday.

The band has also premiered the first in a multi-part series of behind-the-scenes webisodes documenting their studio sessions for Only Ghosts. The clip, which can be seen below, focuses on John Sherman and the drum tracks for the new album.

Red Fang’s music is featured on Pabst Blue Ribbon’s new pinball machine, the Can Crusher, which was unveiled at San Diego Comic-Con. The machine, developed in partnership with Stern Pinball, Inc., features a retro game design with art by Dirty Donny.

 
Ross Robinson (At The Drive In, The Cure, Slipknot) produced the collection while Joe Barresi (Queens of the Stone Age, Tool, Melvins) mixed the record.

Red Fang prove once again they are top-notch songwriters who have mastered the heavy anthem without taking themselves too seriously. Only Ghosts is a rock album of incredible magnitude that demands to be played at maximum volume! The debut single from the album, "Flies”, can be heard below.

Only Ghosts was recorded earlier this year at Robinson’s Venice, CA studio. The album is set for release this October 14th on CD/LP/Digital via Relapse Records. Physical preorders are available via Relapse.com here, and digital pre-orders can be found at the band's Bandcamp page at this location.
