RED ANKH BLACK

Red Ankh Black is OUT NOW, two hours of our darkest themes, melodies, and styles–but not always all at once, of course, or we’d be betraying Red Ankh’s odd dynamics! Continuing from the Classics Comp and Red the challenges of piling up instrument layers, mixing guitars and drums harsh without having them compete for space too much, and mixing vocals low so they don’t overtake the instruments, but remain intelligible. Out on Bandcamp, Youtube, Spotify, and many other streaming and retail sites. Enjoy!

Here we here we go go go! At long last, the first of the two central Red Ankh albums, Red, is finally finished! 101 minutes of weird melodic heavy goodness, and the most ambitious Red Ankh release yet. Out now on Bandcamp and streaming services EVERYWHERE!

Stay tuned for the companion album, BLACK!

Red Ankh’s first compilation album released!

As promised, Red Ankh has dropped 11 complete rerecordings, 1 new remix, and 7 new covers in the form of their Classics Compilation 01. Two hours and forty-four seconds of Red Ankh’s finest work, on new equipment, using new techniques, and this time with the whole band contributing vocals.  From now on, they make what they imagine, not held back by technical restrictions.  RED ANKH LIVES, BETTER THAN EVER.

This one’s on Spotify and the other major streaming services and digital retailers February 1st, 2024.

They haven’t forgotten about the Red/Black rework, and that’s coming up next!

Red Ankh’s ‘Shadow’ near completion

The last of the vocal recordings are finished for the upcoming Red Ankh album, and the majority of instrumentation is complete.  Its twenty-three minute epic needs some drum fills and adjustment to instrument articulation, as well as a bit of a mixdown tweak and mastering, and five other tracks need one or two minor adjustments, so look forward to a release date within the next few weeks. Below is the cover art and track list (the physical CD releases will have titles, but I enjoy the representative red-colored ankh and shadows).
