Thanks to John L Robertson from Fuzz Goblin for capturing this. Our debut of “Black Leather” (one of the 5 songs on our new EP!) at our first show with Bradley on guitar (much thanks to Gravitoyd Presents ! ). The song has changed A LOT since we recorded it. (think of this as the prototype) but this is still rad. Rock on!!

So, if you haven’t been following on our Facebook page, we are now joined by Bradley Barnes on guitar (formerly of the doomy downtuned Cesare’). Deserts of Mars were on their way to rockin the universe as a 2 piece when Bradley rocketed to the Mars Base bringing his own brand of axe slinging propulsion to the DoM UFO. His enthusiasm and influences were just what we needed to kick this into overdrive and slay some more Rocktopi. So we took a step back to let the dust settle, kick the rust off some older tunes, and write some new ones so his axe could slice the galaxies. On April 6th you can hear this new sound, new energy and new tunes for yourself. We plan on following this up with more Mars Metal across Earth and beyond as well as planning a new EP to share with the Universe. We hope you join us for this new era in Mars Metal, as we Raise the Pyramids and sing the music of the spheres.

Hey Martian Maniacs!! It has been a while and we wanted give you and update on the state of Mars Metal. This past year or so has been akin to a mashup of “The Martian” and “Spinal Tap” mixed with a bit of “Apollo 13”. Never fear, Morgan and I have been writing as a 2 piece and while the sound is shaping to be a bit different than the DoM of the past, it is still always going to be Mars Metal – (Heavy, spacey, groovey, growly, and melodic, the only way we know how).
And now, we have our first video courtesy Maximiliano Contenti of Yukoh Films. Max is an all-around cool person that I met when he screened his film “High Five” (Relocos Y Repasados) and we hit it off, sharing a love of music and film. Over time he made this hard rockin’ video, which we hope that you love as much as we do. It’s certainly fueling OUR overdrive engines! Check it out and spread the word!! We hope to see you back on Earth in 2017!!! -Tony

The riffs are flowing at the Mars homebase and we can’t wait to unleash them at new shows once the Mars Metal has been forged into sonic steel.
In the meantime, we have some awesome shows coming up including a show celebrating Tony’s birthday on February 20th. With Grail, Deguello, and Bellringer.
After that we get to play with our friends in Cesare,and Duel, and we welcome Mothwind on https://www.facebook.com/events/405448256283009/?ref=70.
and to kick off more good news we are playing the The Worshiper Cabs SXSW Showcase
Thanks to Dusty Brooks and Wounded Earth Booking. TONS of heavy bands in an all-day riff fueled extravaganza!!!
We hope to see you out and about for some Mars Metal!
