Description:
A cornerstone of stoner rock, Blues For The Red Sun redefined desert metal with its fuzz-drenched tone, hypnotic riffs, and baked-in intensity. Originally released in 1992, this 2021 reissue brings the classic Kyuss sound back to vinyl with renewed warmth and weight. From the punch of “Green Machine” to the slow-burn sprawl of “Freedom Run,” this record pulses with raw energy and desert-born mysticism. Produced by Chris Goss and recorded at the legendary Sound City, this reissue is essential for fans of heavy psych, early Queens of the Stone Age, and the Palm Desert scene.
