Albuquerque's RED MESA Reveal Biting New Single “Dying in The Cold Sun”

~Doomed & Stoned Debuts~

By Billy Goate

History is full of takes of people who've frozen to death, or nearly. Like Ernest Shackleton's expedition to the Antartic, in which his ship was frozen in the icy waters and his crew was forced to endure great hardship in unimaginably freezing temperatures, bringing them to near madness.

Today, Doomed & Stoned brings you the latest track from desert stoner-doomers RED MESA, prelude to their new album 'Partial Distortions' (2024), their roiling, rumbling doom-worshipping fourth album. Solid through and through.

"Dying in the Cold Sun" features forlorn riffs, stalwart drumming, excellent basslines, and strong, rapsy vocals. Fans of Pallbearer and High on Fire take notice. Reached for comment, frontman Brad Frye says:

I wanted to write a song about freezing to death, as I frequently think about that as a possible great way to die. Go out into the frozen wilderness and just walk…until the cold overtakes me. The song however, came out far more gloomy and tortured than a peaceful farewell. We are calling this our “blackened desert” sound blending desert, doom, and black metal to give you a thundering dirge. Certainly one of the heaviest songs in the Red Mesa vault.

Mark April 19th on your calendars, when Red Mesa's Partial Distortions will be revealed, releasing on Desert Records and Majestic Mountain Records.

Give ear...

Partial Distortions by Red Mesa

SOME BUZZ

‘Partial Distortions’ shows a powerful return of the Albuquerque, NM heavy desert rock trio Red Mesa with their fourth full-length. The album will be released on April, 19th 2024 via Desert Records (North America) and Majestic Mountain Records (Europe).

This 6-track album features the same lineup from their 2020 release ‘The Path to the Deathless’ and the 2022 single ‘Forest Cathedral’.

The record shows further collaboration between band members as guitarist/vocalist Brad Frye, bassist/vocalist Alex Cantwell, and drummer/vocalist Roman Barham all contributed musically and lyrically throughout the album.

Red Mesa has been leading the new generation of desert rock by proving that the genre is capable of greater expanses. The trio has expanded their signature heavy desert sound on ‘Partial Distortions’ to include more doom and sludge metal moments.

“Blackened desert” sound collages and an overall doomier and downright frightening musical path will confront the listener, as the album is darker musically and thematically. All whilst still dwelling within an optimism that instills hope that amongst the loss, the tragic endings, and the suffering that this existence brings, that life is still worth living.

DISSAPOINTMENT IN THE GAME OF LIFE ️️️️️️️🎵🎶🎵 *schaffrillas voice* I mean. What the 🐬🐬🐬🐬 do you want me to say. There's a reason in the Toppat history books that Terrence Suave is listed as one of the worst Toppat chiefs to date by FAR. It is phen-no-menal how much he's screwed up during his reign. AND THATS JUST BY THE INCLUSION OF ALL THE HEISTS HE PULLED FOR THE HECK OF IT OHHH NOOOO BOYOS AND GIRLOS STRAP IN. It is SHOCKING how little he cared for the clan and even himself if you read about how he even in his portraits he's still wearing the same suit he wore like. *monotone* since he started his rule. Like buddy have you ever heard of an ironing board becuse I am ironing boreddddddddddddddddddd with how obnoxious he can be when you let him speak.

And you know what the most dissapointing factoid about all of this? This wasn't just some smuck like the bargain bin of leaders we got during the dark age of the Toppats oh no (overlapped with mario's oh no) this guy came out RIGHT AFTER WILFORD THE 🐬🐬🐬🐬ING FOURTH'S REIGN ARE YOU KIDDING ME HOW DO YOU SCREW UP AS A LEADER THIS BADLY. HE WAS RIGHT THERE. USE HIM AS AN EXAMPLE AAGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH............

*huff huff* Okay. Alright. Well, now that that's over let's hope the next one ranked on this list isn't too bad

*mr boss voice: "and make sure he doesnt go all coo-coo! coo-coo!"* Crazy Carson ohhhhhhhhhhh brohther......
