Red Fang. They’re loud. They have riffs. They like stupid shit. And their new video for Shadows has all of that stuff, working with long-time collaborator Whitey McConnaughy on a promo that parodies everyone’s second-favourite Arnie movie Predator and some kind of nerd revenge fantasy.
“It was a crazy adventure through the woods in rural Oregon,” says singer/guitar player Bryan Giles. “It has stunt men, real firepower and some great explosions! We had a blast on this one.”
Watch it, it’s crazy:
Here’s the facts you need to know:
Shadows is the sixth video to pair Red Fang and director McConnaughy; the first clip from the partnership was 2010’s Prehistoric Dog, which saw the Portland-based band challenge a local role playing troupe only to suffer the consequences. The most recent video from the band and McConnaughy is the 2013 clip featuring Fred Armisen and a horde of beer-thirsty zombies in Blood Like Cream.
Red Fang have also revealed a series of in-studio videos documenting their experience working with legendary producer Ross Robinson (At The Drive In, The Cure, Slipknot, etc) on Only Ghosts. Here it is:
