The things you believed in before you realized they didn't deserve it. Authority, systems, people. Gods that fade. It's the song the band name was always pointing at.
Produced & mixed by Ben Taylor / BRT Productions. Mastered by Maor Appelbaum.
Directed & created by Aden Mackness
Sparrows Eat Crows is an Orange County alt-metal three-piece, founded and led by Aden Mackness. One full-length album out. Gods That Fade is the new single. Alice in Chains weight, A Perfect Circle tension — that locked-in 90s heaviness that doesn't apologize for itself.
Sparrows Eat Crows operates independently from the ground up. The band writes the music together, while Aden Mackness leads the broader creative vision across production, artwork, music videos, website design, branding, and visual direction. Ben Taylor handles production and mixing. No label, no management, and no outside creative machine shaping the work.
Built without label support, Sparrows Eat Crows continues to grow through listeners who discover the band, stay with the music, and return for what comes next.
The album that built the foundation. Seven tracks, recorded and self-released without compromise. If you find a Sparrows fan, there's a good chance they came in through this record.
Everything on RTR points forward to where Gods That Fade lands — the same locked weight, the same refusal to shrink.






Heavy, nothing wasted. The low end leads. Vocals sit inside the weight, not above it. Built for stations and playlists that program artists who take the craft seriously.
