Red Fox

Whenever rain falls outside, as it is now, I seem to turn to the Anonymous album to fit the mood.  More specifically, the song "Red Fox".

Kevin Rutmanis is gone from Tomahawk at this point, so the threesome of Denison, Stanier, and Patton bring us this song on their third album released as a band.  This was probably my first "favorite" song on the album, the heavy "skin-walker" chant being stuck in my head for days after first listen.  I never understood how this song didn't get good reviews.  Hell, this entire Tomahawk album wasn't really a critic favorite.  It's style is completely different from the two previously released albums (and Oddfellows that followed), but I feel like after a few listens it can be appreciated for the concept album that it is.

There isn't a live version of this song available since, unfortunately, it's never been played live (like most of Anonymous), so check out the audio for "Red Fox.

   

For what it's worth, a "skin-walker", according to Native American legend, is the supernatural ability for a person to become any animal they desire, usually by wearing the fur or pelt of that particular  animal.
