Coming three years after their previous record
Whales and Leeches, the fourth album from Red Fang feels like a natural progression. They're also continuing to grow; whereas much of their previous material called to mind sludge masters like Melvins and/or modern metal warriors like Mastodon, there are hints of, say, early Foo Fighters and Queens of the Stone Age appearing here, especially on standout tracks like
Cut it Short and
Not for You. There's still plenty of muscle in these songs, and more than a few menacing moments mixed in with the grooves and hooks, but
Only Ghosts shows that Red Fang aren't finished exploring their own possibilities yet.
