Red Mesa

Red Mesa is a heavy desert rock/metal band based out of Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA, who churn out exciting live performances, riffs, and desert vibes like only a band from the actual desert can.

April, 19th 2024 'PARTIAL DISTORTIONS', the band's fourth full-length album was released via Desert Records.

Red Mesa will be touring the western U.S. in late summer of 2024.

Formed by Brad Frye of Desert Records in late 2013, Red Mesa composes a sound that combines desert rock with doom metal, psychedelic and western singer-songwriter/folk.
Their sound will appeal to fans of Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, and Kyuss, and mixes the psychedelia of classic rock with the riffing of old school heavy metal like Motorhead and The Obsessed.

Recently, the band released a cover of CCR's "Hey Tonight" on Ripple Music's compilation 'Burn on the Bayou: A Heavy Underground Tribute to Creedence Clearwater Revival'.
"Forest Cathedral", an ode to doom and nature was released as a sinlge on Desert Records in May 2022.

Red Mesa released their third full-length album The Path to the Deathless in June 2020, which features guest appearances by Wino (The Obsessed, Spirit Caravan) and the late Dave Sherman (Earthride, Spirit Caravan).

Brad Frye: Guitar/Lead & Backing Vocals
