The Red Chord – FED THROUGH THE TEETH MACHINE


Massachusetts’ masters of mayhem, The Red Chord, have just released their latest (and by far their greatest) CD entitled FED THROUGH THE TEETH MACHINE, a ravenous rampage of raw hatred directed at the trendy bands that litter the music scene. This their fourth full length release showcases their uncompromising song writing style which sets them miles above the rest with their highly technical guitar riffs, insane drumming, and ferocious layered vocals. But not everything is played on FED THROUGH THE TEETH MACHINE is at 800 beats per minute, the brutal break-downs and sublime solos add a decorous divergence from the in-your-face intensity felt throughout.

The Red Chord has been together for over 9 years now, and in that time they’ve harnessed their powerful audial-attack into a mind-blowing assault of Death-core domination. From the first note heard to the last scream shouted, FED THROUGH THE TEETH MACHINE is a non-stop barrage of blistering blast beats, heavy-as-all-Hell guitar riffs, and guttural growls. Front-man Guy Kozowyk clues us into the double (and sometimes triple) meanings behind his thought provoking lyrics on FED THROUGH THE TEETH MACHINE: “Could it be about a dude talking about a zipper? And you turn it around and ask, ‘What does it mean to be fed through the teeth machine?’ Does it mean you started out doing a tour for $20 a night, getting chewed up and spit out? Where does it get you? That’s you trying to prove to people you are still attempting to do whatever you want. You are fed through a system, exploited.” 

Well, one thing that The Red Chord certainly is not is one-dimensional. These guys take great pride in not only blowing your mind with their superior musicianship, but with their highly imaginative lyrical content. Do yourself a favor and pick up FED THROUGH THE TEETH MACHINE. You won’t be disappointed!
