For THE RED CROW, November's first shows in France follow years spent playing rooms in Portugal and Spain. The Brazilian-born, Lisbon-based band will make that next touring step ahead of It's Alive, a five-track live EP due December 4, 2026, through Sodeh Records.
Guitarist and vocalist Christiano Vieira comments: “France has been on our map for a long time. After years of playing pubs and underground rooms in Portugal and Spain, taking these songs across the border for the first time feels like the natural next step. Expect loud amps and long riffs.”
The French run comprises three dates in November 2026:
- November 19 — Strasbourg, Molodoï, with Wet Cactus
- November 20 — Cormontreuil, with Wet Cactus
- November 21 — Charleville-Mézières, MCL Ma Bohème, with Wet Cactus and Hourglass
The recording lineup on It's Alive features Vieira on guitar and vocals and Gustavo Ferreira on drums. For live performances, THE RED CROW expand to a trio with Thiago on bass. Recorded at Buzz Room, the EP was produced, engineered, mixed and mastered by Basilio, with artwork by Zulfajir.
Following Spellbound, the release continues the band's emphasis on raw playing and live energy over studio perfection. Its thematic range includes altered consciousness, psychological horror, corruption, apocalyptic chaos and revenge, with riffs providing the connecting thread.

THE RED CROW formed in Porto Alegre, Brazil, in 2013 and relocated to Portugal in 2021 after developing in the South American underground. Their touring history includes extensive performances in Brazil and a full Spanish tour in 2025. Further European touring is planned for 2027, with new material also ahead.
The trio combine stoner metal, doom and groove metal, drawing together Brazilian heavy music's rhythmic aggression and the darker atmosphere of European stoner and doom. Their approach centers on fuzz, thick grooves, low-end weight and Vieira's gravel-throated vocals. Cited influences include RED FANG, CROWBAR and ALICE IN CHAINS, alongside the attitude of MOTÖRHEAD. Tarantino films and the exaggerated visual language of 1980s and 1990s comics also inform the band's creative world.
