The band followed their debut with Murder the Mountains, released on Relapse Records in 2011^[1]^[2] produced by Chris Funk.^[3] Red Fang also appeared on 2011's Metalliance tour including bands Crowbar and Helmet; the same year, Red Fang opened the Jägermeister stage on 2011's edition of the annual Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival which also featured headliners Megadeth, Godsmack, and Disturbed.
