Mars Red Sky is a French psychedelic rock band known for their thick, melodic infusion of heavy grooves and haunting melodies. Formed in Bordeaux in 2007, the band consists of Julien Pras (vocals, guitar), Jimmy Kinast (bass, vocals), and Matgaz (drums). Their sound is a distinctive blend of stoner-doom elements and a slight touch of pop sensibility that has won them a passionate following within the underground rock music scene. Often noted for their enthralling live performances, Mars Red Sky weaves a rich tapestry of atmospheric, yet weighty, musical landscapes.

The band's self-titled debut album, "Mars Red Sky," released in 2011, was a critical success and set the tone for their signature style; a blend of hypnotic riffing and dreamy vocals. Over the years, they have produced a steady stream of well-received work, including albums like "Stranded in Arcadia" (2014) and "Apex III (Praise for the Burning Soul)" (2016), which saw the band experimenting with broader influences and narrative themes. Their 2019 offering, "The Task Eternal," represents the culmination of their relentless innovation, as the band continues to push the boundaries of their genre and build upon their enchanting sonic universe. With a solid discography and the ability to captivate listeners with minimalistic yet profound soundscapes, Mars Red Sky has cemented themselves as an indelible force in the heavy psych rock movement.
