Murky Red

How it all started

Murky Red is a Belgian based band founded in 2009, who combines elements of classic rock, prog rock, blues, stoner, and metal in their music. If their musical style was a human life form, it would be the love child of Deep Floyd, The Black Doors, and Led Sabbath. Slayer and Monty Python were the nannies. In 2011 they signed a record deal with the Florida based record label Melodic Revolution Records, and thanks to the support of Martin Smith (they call him the seventh band member) they were able to release their debut album ‘Time Doesn’t Matter’ in 2012, mixed and mastered by Colin Tench (Corvus Stone, Transmission Rails, Oceans 5, Coalition, CTP), who also became an additional band member actually. Colin passed away on December the 27th 2017. Murky Red was ready to strike again with their second album ‘No Pocus Without Hocus’, released on October 26, 2015, by Melodic Revolution Records. Colin Tench did once again a fantastic mixing and mastering job, and he added some majestic guitar parts on ‘Collateral Damage’, one of the new songs on the album. In 2017, after years of performing on stage Murky Red decided for not going live anymore and became a studio project with the core members Stef Flaming, Yolanda Flaming and René Marteaux. They collaborate with vocalists such as Marie Vancamp and Kim Mercken, and musicians worldwide such as Colin Tench (Corvus Stone, Colin Tench Project, Transmission Rails, Oceans 5, unfortunately Colin passed away on 27 December 2017). This new approach gives them more freedom for writing and recording new music and working with all kinds of guest musicians.
