Based in Viseu, Portugal the instrumental Progressive Metal band Behind The Redgiant was formed in 2010. Founded by Rui Costa on bass, Ricardo Sousa on guitar and Joao Sousa on drums. Shortly after, Pedro Ribeiro joined the band on keyboards. After some periods of inactivity, the band’s lineup changed when guitarist Alexandre Sousa (ex-BlackBird) joins, and in 2020 Alexandre Tomas (ex-Fingertips) took over on the drums.

In 2021 Behind The Redgiant recorded their debut album How Far is Far Away with producer Dennis Koehne (Lacuna Coil, Sodom, Moonspell) handling the mastering. Their sound is unique with melancholy melodies interspersed with frantic interludes that transport the listener faw away.

On the Guest DJ Show this Friday, the band members of Behind The Redgiant will play for you their favorite tracks. After their playlist, we’ll play a handful of tracks off of their debut album, How Far is Far Away.
