The Brazilian-born, Portugal-based trio combines raw stoner, doom and groove metal into a sound that’s loud, abrasive, and riff-driven. THE RED CROW are set to embark on their first live shows in France this November and ignite stages with a high-octane and energized performance. The band’s forthcoming live EP, It’s Alive, is scheduled for release on December 4, 2026, through Sodeh Records.
The band comments on the forthcoming tour:
“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.” — Christiano Vieira, THE RED CROW.

The recording lineup on It’s Alive features Christiano Vieira on guitar and vocals alongside Gustavo Ferreira on drums. For live performances, THE RED CROW expand to a trio with Thiago on bass. The artwork for It’s Alive was created by Zulfajir, while Basilio handled production, engineering, mixing and mastering at Buzz Room.
It’s Alive is a record that moves from altered consciousness and psychological horror into corruption, apocalyptic chaos and revenge without losing the central thread connecting everything THE RED CROW create: the riff.
About THE RED CROW
THE RED CROW are a Brazilian-born, Lisbon-based heavy trio blending stoner metal, doom and groove metal into a sound built on massive riffs, dirty fuzz and relentless rhythmic weight. Formed in Porto Alegre, Brazil in 2013, the band developed its identity in the South American underground before relocating to Portugal in 2021, bringing together the rhythmic aggression of Brazilian heavy music with the darker atmosphere of the European stoner and doom scenes.
Led by guitarist and vocalist Christiano Vieira alongside drummer Gustavo Ferreira and bassist Thiago, THE RED CROW favor a raw, physical approach to songwriting. Their music is driven by thick grooves, crushing low-end and Vieira’s gravel-throated vocal delivery, drawing influence from bands including RED FANG, CROWBAR and ALICE IN CHAINS while carrying the rough-edged attitude of MOTÖRHEAD. Outside of music, the band’s creative world is heavily informed by Tarantino films and the dark, exaggerated visual language of 1980s and 1990s comics.
After extensive touring in Brazil, THE RED CROW expanded their reach in Europe, including a full Spanish tour in 2025. Their music reflects that transcontinental history: aggressive, atmospheric and intentionally unpolished, with the energy of a live band always placed ahead of studio perfection.
Following Spellbound, THE RED CROW continue that philosophy with It’s Alive, a five-track release recorded at Buzz Room and built around the band’s no-frills approach to heaviness. With further European touring planned for 2027 and new material ahead, THE RED CROW continue pushing deeper into a sound defined by groove, distortion and riffs designed to hit at maximum volume.
