Red Fang have officially premiered the music video for their song “Antidote.“ The clip was previously only available as part of the band’s “Red Fang: Headbang!” video game. The group commented:
“For those of you who suck at video games, now you can hear our new single, ‘Antidote‘, uninterrupted by fun! It’s now available for download as a regular old digital single. But if you are up for the challenge, see if you can beat our high score on your smartphone!
Love, Red Fang“
Red Fang have premiered a new video for their song “Antidote“ via a new video game app called “Red Fang: Headbang!.” The game tracks the player’s movement and requires them to keep headbanging. However, if you stop, the band will die. If you choose to play, keep in mind that there are three different alternate endings.
The game was developed and directed by Wieden + Kennedy‘s Ansel Wallenfang and it features intro and outro music written by composer Disasterpeace. It’s worth noting that High On Fire‘s Matt Pike and comedian Brian Posehn helped with the game’s development as well.
Wallenfang commented:
“‘Red Fang: Headbang‘ is a culmination of everything I’ve wasted my life on—metal, arcades, and a warped sense of humor. It’s really a love letter to my childhood and all the things that make me, me.”
The band’s own Bryan Giles added:
“When Ansel Wallenfang first approached us with his video concept we all thought he was crazy! A year or so later we still think he’s crazy, but the video turned out amazing! We’re over the moon about it!”

Red Fang have premiered a new Ray Gordon directed video for their cover of “Listen To The Sirens,“ a track originally performed by the Gary Numan fronted band Tubeway Army. The group commented:
“We’ve been a fan of Tubeway Army for a long time. It was a blast to record a song of theirs with Adam Pike and equally great to make a video with Ray Gordon! I hope people get as creeped out by our version of ‘Listen To The Sirens‘ as the original!”
