Exclusive Video Premiere Of Doom/Sludge Metallers RED QUIET New Song - “Xenomorphism”

Biography: Red Quiet. Post. Noise. Sludge.

This is how the riff infused power trio from the South West of France introduce themselves to the crowd starting each gig.

Formed by three veterans of the Toulouse rock and metal scene, Red Quiet started in the summer of 2025 after the break-up of Voidozer, in which both Baptiste (drums) and Matt (guitars) used to play. Quickly joined by long time friend Sebastien on bass and singing duties, they forged their sonic identity around an elaborated and yet straight forward formula:

- Noise rock influenced riffs.
- Post metal melodies.
- Post Black / Post hardcore harshed vocals.
- Massive and explosive drum parts.
- A lot of feedback from gain stacking.
- And a bit of sludge dissonances, odd rhythmic accents and time signatures.

Their lyrics and visual universe is based around their passion for horror movies as these fictions turn out to be less dark than the reality surrounding us. Musical influences include: Mantar, Red Fang, Slift, the Melvins, Amenra, Bruit, Yob, etc.

Their first single, “Xenomorphism” - recorded by Yves De Roeck at Les Productions du Chauve (a staple of South West France independent stoner and doom recording) - is an ode to the 1979 cult classic Alien, as it depicts the Human as the real villain and apex predator of our world. The music video, directed by long time friend and collaborator Jo Tempie, emphasizes the four states of the Alien lifecycle.

The egg in black and white, the facehugger has strangers enter the scene, the chestbuster characterised by the blood red color and finally, the xenomorph, hiding in the dark corners, represented by this discrete and warm light of the song’s melodic finale.

After a few shows in their local area, the band is ready to explore new territories in 2026 and plans to record their debut album later this year.
