The Red Chord -- Kettering, OH -- February 7th, 2008

[EchoesOfDecimation]

The Red Chord are much more than "Deathcore". They write well composed songs, DO NOT use forced breakdowns and avoid the 'chugga chugga' breakdowns that are all too prevalent in today's music scene. I like them much more than most people, but if your looking for good Death/Grind, look no further than "Fused Together In Revolving Doors". Top notch on every level.

There's also an unquestionable presence of tech-death influence in their music.

I like The Faceless... Yeah, they're a bit too free with those breakdowns, but when they aren't chugging, they rip!
