Red Fang Pay Homage to ‘Predator’ in This Incredible and Gory Music Video!
Hard rock/metal band Red Fang are known for their highly entertaining music videos. Whether it be running over a bunch of shit, facing the zombie apocalypse while holding onto their beers, or LARP-ing it up in beer can armor, the group has always produced videos that are outrageous and, simply put, pure fun. Their latest video for their song “Shadows” is no exception.
Directed by Whitey McConnaughy, the video is a comedic spoof of John McTiernan’s classic sci-fi action thriller Predator, only instead of soldiers being sent in under false pretenses, the band go on a mellow (“SO mellow!”) camping trip. However, before they left, they pissed off the wrong people…
The video is super gory, damn funny, and well worth your time, so head on down to check it out!
“Shadows” coms from Red Fang’s upcoming album Only Ghosts, which comes out October 14th via Relapse Records. You can pre-order the album right here.

It’s a new day, and you’ve got new John Carpenter to listen to. John Carpenter, Daniel Davies and Cody Carpenter have released the new track He Walks By Night this morning, the second single off their upcoming album Lost Themes IV: Noir, out May 3 on Sacred Bones Records.
Lost Themes IV: Noir is the latest installment in a series that sees Carpenter releasing new music for John Carpenter movies that don’t actually exist. The first Lost Themes was released in 2015, followed by Lost Themes II in 2016 and Lost Themes III: Alive After Death in 2021.
Sacred Bones previews, “It’s been a decade since John Carpenter recorded the material that would become Lost Themes, his debut album of non-film music and the opening salvo in one of Hollywood’s great second acts. Those vibrant, synth-driven songs, made in collaboration with his son Cody Carpenter and godson Daniel Davies, kickstarted a musical renaissance for the pioneering composer and director. With Lost Themes IV: Noir, they’ve struck gold again, this time mining the rich history of the film noir genre for inspiration.
“Since the first Lost Themes, John has referred to these compositions as “soundtracks for the movies in your mind.” On the fourth installment in the series, those movies are noirs. Like the film genre they were influenced by, what makes these songs “noirish” is sometimes slippery and hard to define, and not merely reducible to a collection of tropes. The scores for the great American noir pictures were largely orchestral, while the Carpenters and Davies work off a sturdy synth-and-guitar backbone.
“The trio’s free-flowing chemistry means Lost Themes IV: Noir runs like a well-oiled machine—the 1951 Jaguar XK120 Roadster from Kiss Me Deadly, perhaps, or the 1958 Plymouth Fury from John’s own Christine. It’s a chemistry that’s helped power one of the most productive stretches of John’s creative life, and Noir proves that it’s nowhere near done yielding brilliant results.”
