Red of Tooth and Claw
Red of Tooth and Claw is the fourth full-length album by the American five-piece indie rock band Murder by Death and is the first record the band has released on the Vagrant record label. The title comes from a reference in Lord Tennyson's poem In Memoriam A.H.H.. It was recorded by the Grammy winning producer Trina Shoemaker at Dark Horse Recording Studio in Tennessee and was released by Vagrant Records, on March 4, 2008.
Red of Tooth and Claw is, as the singer/guitarist Adam Turla put it, a "Homer's Odyssey of revenge, only without the honorable character at the center". It is a concept album, and a prequel to their second album, Who Will Survive, and What Will Be Left of Them?.Reception
