Portland, OR-based group RED FANG have revealed details for their third studio album Whales And Leeches, which will arrive October 15th on Relapse Records.

Red Fang have always been masters of the hard rock hook and with Whales And Leeches they deliver 11 killer, instantly classic anthems. Beyond the standard CD, LP and digital formats, Whales And Leeches will be available in Deluxe CD, Deluxe Double Vinyl and Deluxe Digital editions which will feature two bonus tracks (see the full tracklisting below). Numerous exclusive packages including a Halloween pack and multiple vinyl colors are available via Relapse.com. To pre-order Whales And Leeches, visitthis location.

For Whales And Leeches, the band worked producer Chris Funk (DECEMBERISTS) and mixer Vance Powell (WHITE STRIPES, RACONTEURS, KINGS OF LEON). This same team worked on Red Fang’s last album, Murder the Mountains. Whales And Leeches sees Red Fang further maturing into top notch songwriters and musicians. With the help of guests Mike Scheidt (YOB) and Pall Jenkins (THE BLACK HEART PROCESSION), Whales And Leeches further propels Red Fang into the upper stratosphere of hard rock and metal elite.
