Signing with Metal Blade in 2005, The Red Chord has been cited as one of the most influential crossover bands of the hardcore, grind and metal genres. They have been referenced, featured or interviewed in the majority of pertinent heavy music periodicals including Revolver, AP, Terrorizer, Decibel, Metal Maniacs, Hit Parader, and Brave Words and Bloody Knuckles.
The Red Chord is a grind-hardcore band from the north shore area of Massachusetts whose collective goal is to push the extremes of aggressive music and to combine the best aspects of the hardcore, death, grind and metal genres. Original members Guy and Kevin asked Gunface to join the line up in 2000 to add an additional guitar player while Greg would eventually be invited to fill the bass position. At this point The Red Chord became one of the most talked about bands in the underground. After over 400+ shows across 14 countries for their first release, 'Fused Together In Revolving Doors', and moving approximately 25,000 CD’s worldwide, The Red Chord found drummer Brad in late 2004 and began to finalize new material for the debut release on Metal Blade Records.
'Clients' is the second studio album by American heavy metal band The Red Chord. It was released on May 17, 2005 via Metal Blade Records. In order to capture the pure brutality of the music The Red Chord decided to record at the infamous Planet Z with engineer/producer Zeuss (Hatebreed & Shadows Fall) securing 'Clients' as one of the heaviest releases of 2005. To accompany the massive and fierce sound of the album renowned artist Paul Romano, known for his work with bands like Mastodon, Nasum, Godflesh, and Dead To Fall, was brought on board to handle all the aspects of the artwork, which include portraits of each “client” mentioned in the album.
