Deserts of Mars

For the past year, we have been sailing the universe hard at work on a new album and trying to find the right astronauts for this new interstellar journey. Recently, coming in like a comet, Kotah Mack crashlanded into Mars’s home base, and we have been crafting a new set as he learns the universal riffs of the new album (he’s also been coming up with tasty new riffs as well!). We are looking forward to getting back out there live, and we have some other cool stuff coming soon. Expect more updates and more Mars Metal in the near future!! Keep your eyes and ears to the stars, Martian Maniacs!

Hey Martian Maniacs! We have mostly been post on other socials like Instagram and Facebook, but we wanted to update on a few things.
First off, we are back at Red Nova Ranch recording the next Mars Metal full LP. We’re well into it and it is shaping up into a solid slab of ROCK.
We also have some upcoming shows and we’ll be filling you on the more later. For now, keep checking in on social media and watch this space for more info soon! Keep ROCKIN!

We’re rocketing back from Mars with a high energy tight set for Stoner Jam 2022. It’s been a long time coming, so come early and enjoy a day of awesome bands!! Thanks to Wickedbad for putting this all together, and for always being rad. You can check out the details here Stoner Jam 2022!

The always awesome Sleeping Village Reviews has been rocking out to Return from the Void over the last few months and we think they are now officially Martian Maniacs! Check out what they had to say right here-
https://www.sleepingvillagereviews.com/reviews/desert-of-mars-return-from-the-void-review
“While a pleasant variety helps define Desert of Mars, fuzzy rock is ultimately the name of the game, tastefully outfitted with Martian desert grit and a certain astral flair. If comparisons help, think a merger featuring the psychedelic side of Mothership with the rockin’ drive of (fellow Texans) Duel.
This is the alchemical paragon of feel-good music: catchy driving riffs, hooky-yet-relaxed clean choruses, subtle aggression, forthright drums, and a whole lotta fuzz…. I just want more, dammit, and am not ashamed to beg. There’s only so much one can do in the span of an EP, and Desert of Mars handled this effort handily. “

But that’s not all! Recently Sleeping Village has posted the pre-order for their first Doom Comp –SLEEPING VILLAGE Caravan Of Doom (Vol. 1)
https://sleepingvillagerecords.bandcamp.com/releases
Tons of cool bands, compiled by one of our favorite sites – You know this one has a heavy pedigree. It’s a steal of a heavy pre-order, so head over that way and Doom On!!!
