Red of Tooth and Claw is the fourth full-length album by the American five-piece indie rock band Murder by Death, their first for the Vagrant record label. The title comes from a reference in Lord Tennyson's poem In Memoriam A.H.H. It was recorded by the Grammy-winning producer Trina Shoemaker at Dark Horse Recording Studio in Tennessee, and was released on March 4, 2008.
Red of Tooth and Claw is, as the singer/guitarist Adam Turla put it, a "Homer's Odyssey of revenge, only without the honorable character at the center." It is a concept album, and a prequel to their second album, Who Will Survive, and What Will Be Left of Them?
