History[]
Red Beard Wall was born in 2016 on the dry, wind swept plains of West Texas, out of a desire to channel his angst and frustration with the insane reality that surrounds us. With a hyper focus on heavy, hooky and to the point songs, Red Beard Wall delivers riffs with devastatingly heavy tones, vocals melodies that soar, alongside blistering screams of disillusionment. Red Beard Wall would compose a demo and release it on 29 February 2016, followed by the band's earliest shows in the Texas area.
In February 2017 it would be announced that Red Beard Wall had signed with Argonauta Records, with their eponymous debut album following on 15 May 2017.[1][2] From that point the band would begin to share the stage with the likes of Rozamov, Torche, Black Tar Prophet and The Nixons among others in various shows throughout 2017. With a blistering momentum and more material lined up, Red Beard Wall would participate in 2018 edition of Stoner Daze in Austin,[3] share the stage with whores. and close out the year on a three-day jaunt with Backwoods Payback. On 16 October 2018, Argonauta Records would announce that Red Beard Wall would announce their second album in The Fight Needs Us All, set for a 22 February 2019 release.[4] A teaser single for The Warming would be released on 29 November 2018.
Following the band's second album attaining critical praise and mostly selling out on various platforms, Red Beard Wall would announce a North American tour supporting The Fight Needs Us All on 4 September 2019, alongside blackened doom outfit Thunderchief.[5] On 29 April 2021 it would be announced that Red Beard Wall had signed with Desert Records to release 3 on 2 July 2021.[6]
