Red Chord already on tour for new album out July 24

MASSACHUSETTS OWN, THE RED CHORD AND METAL BLADE RECORDS ARE PROUD TO ANNOUNCE BRAND NEW ALBUM “PREY FOR EYES” OUT JULY 24th!!! NEW SONG – “SEND THE DEATH STORM” - AVAILABLE ONLINE!!

New England’s own death-grind powerhouse The Red Chord delivers a brutal new record!!! The album, titled Prey For Eyes, was recorded at New Jersey’s Trax East with producer Eric Rachel (Atreyu, Every Time I Die).

A sprawling enigma, the album traverses nightmarish soundscapes with mind-bending time changes, gnashing guitars and schizophrenic vocals. Guitarist Mike “Gunface” Mckenzie couples bludgeoning riffs with haunting chord passages. Brad Fickeisen furiously propels the tracks with demonic double bass drumming as Greg Weeks bolts down a rhythmic freight train.

Vocalist Guy Kozowyk is the ringmaster of this sonic horror show. His lyrics delve into the psyches of insane inmates, anarchist recluses and gods with a vengeance for pop music. This is dangerous and thought provoking music that transcends genres. This is Prey For Eyes.

Guy had this to say about the new record: “We feel really great about the writing process for this album. We’re very proud of it. It’s as close to a defining Red Chord record as we’ve ever come.”

The title, Prey For Eyes, was inspired by an experience Kozowyk’s brother, a prison guard, had with an inmate. “The prisoner won't talk and gets into this dialogue via a notepad. After documenting that he can no longer talk because the devil removed his tongue, my brother checks the con’s mouth with his flashlight. When he tells him that his tongue is definitely intact, the inmate replies with the cryptic message “Pray for Eyes.”

Prey For Eyes is The Red Chord’s third full-length album and promises to be their most brutal offering yet!! The confirmed track list is as follows:

1. Film Critiques and Militia Men
2. Dread Prevailed
3. It Runs In The Family
4. Send The Death Storm
5. Pray For Eyes
6. Responsibles
7. Midas Touch
8. Tread On The Necks Of Kings
9. It Came From Over There
10. Intelligence Has Been Compromised
11. Open Eyed Beast Attack
12. Birdbath
13. Bone Needle
14. Seminar

To celebrate, the heavy metal journeymen have booked themselves a busy summer bringing their ‘must see’ show to fans across America.

“We’re starting our headlining tour today and that goes through July,” says band vocalist Guy Kozowyk. “We’ve also just confirmed a string of dates with Between The Buried And Me and Cephalic Carnage later this summer to hit some more markets and Canada. We’ve got some other big plans to announce in near future for the fall, so stay tuned for that. We’ll be all over the place for the next year or two to come.”

Look for The Red Chord on tour all summer long! Prey For Eyes hits the masses on July 24!! And get an advance taste of the new record with “Send The Death Storm” at http://www.metalblade.com/english/artists/theredchord/media.php.
