Bordeaux-based doom-psych/heavy-progressives MARS RED SKY launch a video featuring three tracks off their new album ‘Dawn Of The Dusk’ – released back in December on Mrs Red Sound and Vicious Circle Records.

MARS RED SKY’s new video “Slow Attack” focuses on a biker gang roaming through a retro-futuristic setting. It’s reminiscent of Mad Max or Easy Rider, but the video is more modern, with a female character at the centre of the action. The short film includes the songs “Trap Door”, “Slow Attack” and “Heavenly Bodies” from the band’s latest album, ‘Dawn Of The Dusk’. It was directed by Seb Antoine at Fort Rainbow, Cestas (France), with the help of Ronan Boudier and Hugo Vandekerckhove.
Say the band: “The big idea to shoot vintage bikes in a Wild West setting came up to our film director Seb Antoine. He knew we loved old motorcycles and he had a whole plan in mind. We are working with him for 10 years now, we completely trusted him. And we were right! The shooting was really fun, with family and friends. Have fun watching it and take care of you.”

“Dawn Of The Dusk” – MARS RED SKY’s fifth studio effort – is a genuine conceptual piece of work skilfully designed to take the listener on a journey through a shifting, unpredictable and even utterly disconcerting sonic universe. The trio explore progressive and post-metal territories with boundless inspiration. The eight-track record is packed with the band’s overflowing inspiration that have made their reputation in France and around the World over the last 10 years. Video extracts: Break Even, The Final Round. Available on CD, LP and digital via Mrs Red Sound and Vicious Circle.

Brought up on bands like Sonic Youth, The Jesus Lizard or My Bloody Valentine, Bordeaux-based outfit MARS RED SKY had no idea that they were about to become French stoner scene cornerstones when they founded the band in 2007. Yet the heavy psychedelic trio already share many similarities and obvious connections with the “heavy and slow” community. Free from any musical genre consideration, the musicians build their very own style on the tracks of the underground pioneers. Julien Pras’ ethereal and melodic voice emerges from a thick and complex rhythm, carried by sci-fi literature’s lyricism. Almost cinematic, MARS RED SKY’s sounding has a peculiar and unique flavor, standing out within the heavy rock scene.
New album ‘Dawn Of The Dusk’ came out on December 8th 2023 on Mrs Red Sound and Vicious Circle Records.
