MARS RED SKY MARS RED SKY – Bio. ENG / 2016 “When that hella
chugga bass driven ear pumping metal comes along twenty five seconds
into it you know you’re in for something special.” – NEW NOIZE
magazine 2015 Driven by the huge success of their eponymous debut
record, which was recorded in Spain’s mystic Bardenas desert and
released in 2011 the Bordelais were quickly invited to play on the
largest European stages with Kyuss Lives!, Dinosaur Jr, Sleep, and
renowned festivals such as Eurockéennes de Belfort (Fr) Hellfest
(Fr), Roadburn (NL), London and Berlin Desertfests, Sziget Festival
(Hun), SXSW (USA) and many more , leading them to play 300 shows in
the next 5 years, opening for various acts such as SLEEP, French major
band DETROIT, DINOSAUR JR or KILLING JOKE. Bordeaux – France ’s
MARS RED SKY ’s second album ‘Stranded in Arcadia’ described a
journey in a sapphire vessel to an imaginary place called
‘Arcadia’. Masters in cultivating fuzzy, distorted massive
sounding heaviness contrasted with ethereal high range melodic vocals,
MARS RED SKY have become much of an intriguing curiosity over the
recent years as Classic Rock (UK) illustrated as “Between doom rock
and sky – scraping 70s psyche pop, with utter abandon (….) A
record that will put hair on your feet !” . Worldwide press has been
roaring usually pointing out the band’s “Charisma and consistency
in quality song writing and execution” as in THE SLEEPING SHAMAN
webzine described. Also as THE OBELISK passionately wrote “One of
the best and most distinct acts in or out of heavy psychedelia ” or
as ABOUT.COM confirmed : “A fantastic voyage!”. MARS RED SKY’s
brand new album ‘Apex III – Praise for the Burning Soul’ pushes
boundaries further into a colossal heavy sound – Produced by Gabriel
Zander (from Brasil who also engineered ‘Stranded in Arcadia’) and
Jacob Dennis in Studio Cryogene in Bègles in France – The band has
forged grandiose and hypnotizing thickly produced songs rooted through
a wider range of musical influences stretching from Robert Wyatt, The
Beatles, Nick Drake, Neil young to bands like Electric Wizard, Acid
King and obviously Black Sabbath. The album lyrical content deals with
various themes : opener ‘the Whinery’ depicts the cynism of the
manipulating Kings and Queens in this absurd and chaotic world . Title
track ‘Apex III’ tells about the band leaving the planet to other
galaxies on board of their sapphire vessel, leaving the world in
dismay while fighting against their own inner demons. Heavily
permeated by a thriller written by Jon Conelly : ‘The Burning
Soul’ during the recording sessions , or Claire North ‘The first
fifteen lives of Harry August’ : each time Harry August dies, he is
reborn in exactly the same time and exactly the same place, a child
with all the knowledge of a life he has lived a dozen times before.
MARS RED SKY is a fully accomplished artist who welcomes every
listener to their unique world. BLACK ROAD Black Road is a sultry,
4-piece Stoner Doom band from Chicago, IL. Lead by vocalist Suzi,
guitarist Tim, Casey on bass, and Rob on drums. Together they are
defining Stoner Doom for Chicago and showing a more soulful side of
metal and hard rock – while still keeping you moving and banging
your head. Look for their first EP via DHU Records on vinyl in 2017.
