Red Flag - Fear Series Box Set Disc One - Fear Of A Red Planet MCD

Fear Of A Red Planet
Asylum
Dance Of The D***ed
Fear Of A Red Planet (Pickaxe & Rifle Mix)
Asylum (Pandemonium Mix)

Wow... talk about prolific. Red Flag, in the past year and a half, has surpassed even Cosmicity for sheer volume of releases. And this is the newest single, which follows the release of "The Crypt". This single continues the darker focus of RF that The Crypt introduced us to. 

"Asylum" is the dancier and catchier of the two main tracks here, and the one that was the immediate favorite. I really like the vox here, as it's clear that the vocalist (Mark or Chris, I can't remember which) is at the absolute bottom of his range, and it's used to excellent effect. "Fear Of A Red Planet" wasn't quite as immediately enjoyed, but I did enjoy the song. As for "Dance Of The D***ed", I was sure I wouldn't like the song, but the opposite turned out to be true. I love it! I can easily picture a music video for this tune, done with CGI and it being a Dante's Inferno type inspired tour of Hell. 

The same is true of the remixes, as the remix of "Asylum" was more of a immediate favorite than the FOARP remix. But, I did enjoy the single overall a great deal. I really like the 'new' Red Flag, and look forward to more!
