5.0 out of 5 stars Watch out., January 14, 2003

There's something in the water in Boston and this year The Red Chord have proved it by following up last year's Boston hardcore/metal masterpieces (Converge's Jane Doe and American Nightmare's Background Music) with a tech metal album that is both accessible and fun yet still innovative. Combining the best aspects of death metal, grind, and hardcore, The Red Chord deliver a disemboweling nine song, thirty minute time signature juggling expose. Incomprehensibly fast and original drumming, technical riffing, and some of the best Godzilla impressions in years are all present. The Red Chord have raised the bar for technical metal on their first release, an astounding feat to say the least. Metalheads, expect to hear much more from this little known band in the future.

5.0 out of 5 stars Grind on this, freaks!, September 15, 2004

This is one of the fastest most insane pieces of grindcore fury I have ever heard. The thing that seperates this band from all the other grind bands is this band's songs are a little bit longer and they incorporate brutal death vocals (this band is not goregrind though). Also they throw in a few hardcore elements, and this band is really popular in the hardcore scene. Don't be fooled though this isn't tough guy hardcore, screamo, or anything like that, this is more like grind-metal played by hardcore kids. There isn't that many breakdowns on this CD but when they do break down it sounds unbelievable due to the overall fast intense pace of the rest of the cd. I look forward to future releases by this band, and their future looks good, as they just got signed to Metal Blade records. This is highly recommended for fans of Pig Destroyer, Agoraphobic Nosebleed, Converge, Premonitions of War, On Broken Wings, or anyone who loves fast intense music that makes you want to punch people in the face.

This review is from: Fused Together in Revolving Doors (Audio CD)

Ok, far too many people dish out 5 star ratings to everything they've ever seen, this is stupid, and annoying, and doesn't allow people reading the reviews to get any idea of the rating system.

4 stars is the most i've ever given in a review before...4 stars=superior to others in it's Genre.

This Cd isn't just something you put on because you like a specific song, this cd is a musical experience, like sitting down to watch a movie, you don't select your favourite scene before you've experience the whole show.

It explodes into riff chaos, drummers arms flailing around, vocal chords get smashed against a wall and dragged along a grater. This is brutal, after the initial explosion, rythm takes control, and pushes forward into the first song. Each song explodes and cascades across a jagged metal landscape, but they indulge into real diversity within and inbetween each song, calming down for ambient brakes and tense build ups, un-predictable, with no hooks, just good, honest, metal.

Words are rubbish, they're someone elses opinion, i recommend the cd, support smaller bands.
