Failsafe are proof that age has nothing to do with impact. The Sydney trio are only 18, yet they carry themselves with the confidence, humility and purpose of a band far beyond their years (oh yeah and they have a whopping three releases under their belt already!). Formed while still in school, Failsafe began as […]

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Red Vinter Return to Iconic 14:59 Studios to Record New Album Ghost In The Fog
St. Paul, MN – Doom/death metal heavies Red Vinter have officially returned to the acclaimed 14:59 Studios in Minneapolis, MN to begin recording their second full-length album, Ghost In The Fog . The studio, renowned for hosting brutal sessions from underground standouts like Impaler, Thor, Plague of Stars, and Glutton for Punishment, makes a fitting lair for Red Vinter’s next sonic descent.
The upcoming album will feature the highly anticipated tracks “Cryptic Site” and “The Cell Inside,” and once again pairs the band with the same production team behind their debut Lumbering Menace . The record is being co-produced by Red Vinter’s own Mike Bullock alongside 14:59 Studios engineer Will Maravelas, continuing the partnership that helped establish the band’s crushing, emotionally weighted sound.
While the band forges ahead with new material, momentum around their previous releases continues to build. Fan favorites “Ashes” and “Insurgent” have been steadily gaining listeners and were recently added to the Screamin’ Eman Underground Metal show on the legendary WXAX. The tracks have also received spotlight rotation on KFAI, KMSU, and a growing list of online metal shows and podcasts, further cementing Red Vinter’s place in the modern doom and death underground.
“With everything going on in Minneapolis lately, ‘Insurgent’ is more relevant now than ever,” says vocalist and bassist Mike Bullock. “Meanwhile, the message of ‘Ashes’—getting back on your feet no matter how hard life burns you to the ground—is a much-needed, daily reminder to never give up.”
Fans can revisit “Ashes” here:

With Ghost In The Fog now underway, Red Vinter are doubling down on their mission to deliver slow-burning heaviness, bleak atmosphere, and hard-earned catharsis. More recording updates and release details are expected soon.
