RAISE THE RED LANTERN’s self-titled full-length was released in October via At A Loss Recordings. Recorded in their hometown by Sanford Parker (Minsk, Nachtmystium), the unit have unleashed their most blistering release yet. A bombardment of metallic rock and roll riff shredding and distorted, low-end thunder, all topped with utterly savage throat-shredding bellows.

The members of RTRL also craft the almighty Emperor Custom Cabinets as used heavily by Pelican, Indian, Mouth of the Architect, High on Fire and countless other heavy acts.

“These guys already ‘put the fuck back in Memphis’ – now they’re bringing a little bit of Chicago soul to Southern sludge. They’ve taken raw sketches and sculpted them into qualified epics.” – Decibel

“…Raise the Red Lantern inevitably project a distinct nasty streak, equally prone to fits of metallic abandon à la High on Fire or Saviours as it is to relapses into the band members’ hardcore upbringing… – All Music Guide

“If you find yourself staring at the Emperor cabs of all of your favorite bands, yet you haven’t picked up a RTRL record, you should realize that you are the intended audience. Do yourself a favor and grab this.” – Lambgoat
