The Red Chord - New Album Details And New Song Online


Official press release

Boston Massachusetts metalers The Red Chord are gearing up for the release of their fourth full length album (third for Metal Blade) titled "Fed Through The Teeth Machine", due out on October 27th in the US. The Red Chord already has dates lined up with labelmates and interplanetary gods Gwar along with labelmates Job For A Cowboy. The nearly two and a half month trek with Gwar and Job For A Cowboy will take The Red Chord across the United States kicking off in Houston Texas on September 29th and finishing up in New York City on December 13th.

Here's what guitarist Mike "Gunface" McKenzie has to say about the band's new album "Fed Through the Teeth Machine"; "We spent the last year working hard on this one and we're excited for everyone to finally hear it. It's a lot faster and, in my opinion, more straight forward in a structural sense. We're really happy with the great work Jonny Fay and Zeuss did too. It's not a concept record, but there are some loose conceptual elements to it: hygienic obsession, delusional compound-dwellers and Maniac Mansion. Get ready to make fun of us on the internet!"

In conjunction with the release of "Fed Through The Teeth Machine", The Red Chord has just uploaded the brand new track "Demoralizer" to their freshly updated MySpace page that showcases the album's artwork. Check out the new MySpace design and track "Demoralizer" here.

""Demoralizer" kind of sums up what the record is about. It's aggressive and fast with some darker melodic parts. Probably one of the angriest-sounding songs we've recorded, which fits the records vibe" comments Mike "Gunface" McKenzie.

While the heavy music scene is flooded and littered with trendy, "current" fusion bands that string together electronics and mosh and pretend to be as brutal as fuck, The Red Chord aren't having any of it. The music on "Fed Through The Teeth Machine" is like a hulking hammer that rips and tears at the fabric of all that is trend-driven. But The Red Chord aren't making music for that purpose; they're just good enough to flip off trends and top the bands that perpetrate them. The Massachusetts band - which has downsized to a lean 'n mean four-piece to counteract the bad economy function as a quartet without sacrificing any of their Rottweiler-like ferocity and tenacity - continues to focus on making extreme metal, for extreme people who want something lyrically and musically outside the box and forward thinking and don't want some assembly-line, manufactured, "of the moment" band in their lives. Put simply: If you want to have your bones reduced to dust and your brain taken out scrambled and put back in by music, then The Red Chord are up for that task with "Fed Through The Teeth Machine".

Yeah, this band is familiar with me because of their appearance in the August issue of Revolver magazine. The album's title is definitely what made me remember that.
