You might know them from that video they made where the beardos attack the nerds or something like that, but Portland, Oregon, bashers Red Fang also kind of rule. Enough so that Relapse picked them up anyway, which as far as I’m concerned is living the dream. Go get ’em, guys.

The label checked in via the PR wire with the following info about the impending Red Fang full-length, Murder the Mountains. Getta loada this:

Portland, OR’s Red Fang has unveiled the title of their long-awaited full-length as Murder the Mountains. Murder the Mountains will see its North American release on April 12 (April 18 internationally) and is available for pre-order at this location along with a preview of the album artwork. Murder the Mountains, the follow-up to the band’s critically-acclaimed self-titled full-length, was recorded with producer Chris Funk (The Decemberists) and mixed by Vance Powell (The Raconteurs).

Red Fang has recently debuted two preview tracks taken from Murder the Mountains,  “Number Thirteen” and “Wires.“ “Number Thirteen” can be heard via the band’s Facebook and MySpace pages as well as downloaded as part of the free Relapse Records label sampler.

Red Fang has confirmed two mid-February shows for Olympia and Seattle with additional US dates to be announced soon. The band has also been confirmed for Hellfest 2011, the annual hard rock and metal fest held in Clisson, France in June. A full listing of Red Fang tour dates will be posted shortly.
