River Runs Red is an extreme metal band from Butte, Montana… the only one of it’s kind from Butte.
River Runs Red initiated their collaboration in the summer of 2006. As the creativity came together and the musicianship improved, venues in the surrounding area started to take notice. With growing popularity the band’s dedication increased and after participating in several shows around the state of Montana, the band decided to take things a bit more serious. With the addition of a technically superior drummer, the band plans to explore fresh territory and begin writing more technically potent songs. After several successful shows that have taken the band virtually everywhere in Montana, River Runs Red will continue to spread their message of dynamic heavy metal, pushing the traditional sound to a new level of brutality. As River Runs Red continues their assault across the spectrum they are catapulting forward, by participating in Project Independent (2007) and Montana Metalfest 3 (2008), as well as sharing the stage with quality acts as Hemlock, Martriden, Merciless Death, The Sammus Theory and Bonded By Blood.
