What inspired the name of the band? What are your influences and are they the same as when you started out?

The name The Red Crow comes from the idea of something dark, mysterious, and a bit mystical. Crows have always had this omen-like aura, and the color red brings intensity, danger, and power—everything our music stands for. Our influences come from bands that blend heaviness, groove, and a raw, unpolished energy, like Red Fang, The Sword, Black Sabbath, Nirvana, and Motörhead.

How do you approach songwriting?

We usually start with a riff—something dirty, heavy, and with a good flow. From there, we build around it, letting the song take shape naturally. Lyrically, we dive into existential struggles, but with a twist—our songs often mix real emotions with surreal elements like zombies, aliens, and demons. It’s a way to explore chaos, dread, and rebellion without being too literal.

Why?

Because it feels natural. Stoner metal has this raw, visceral energy that lets us vent frustrations, embrace the chaos, and just ride the wave of heavy, fuzzy riffs. It’s the kind of music that hits you in the gut but also lets you drift away into a different world. Plus, we love that mix of groove, psychedelia, and distortion—it’s the perfect storm for us.

live?

We go for the heaviest, most intense tracks—the ones that will make people feel the sound in their bones. If a song feels like a punch in the face or makes you want to bang your head until your neck hurts, it’s in. We also tweak things for the stage—sometimes making parts longer, louder, or filthier—because live shows are about energy, and we want the audience to lose themselves in the music.

What plans do you have for the future?

Keep making loud, heavy, and filthy music. Play as many gigs as possible. Maybe hit the road for a tour. We want to push our sound further, experiment more, and keep bringing that mix of stoner metal and cinematic chaos to life. Whatever happens, one thing’s for sure: we’re just getting started.
