Deserts of Mars

Austin-based Deserts of Mars was formed in 2006 with a heavy fuzzed-out bass and the idea that the riff rules all! Influenced by a variety of heavy music from around the galaxy, Deserts of Mars has one goal - to create Mars Metal that rocks the universe. Made of equal parts desert rock, 90s grunge, and classic heavy metal, Deserts of Mars have crafted a sound they have dubbed Mars Metal. In 2011, the band unleashed their debut LP, Transmission, garnering positive reviews, and gaining new fans, lovingly referred to as “Martian Maniacs.”
