You read the title right, this is indeed The Red Chord's first album. I maybe pretty prejudiced against Deathcore like most of you are, but I must admit there are a few treats to be found within it's walls. This happens to be one of them. Stylistically, it's different than their later albums; more Mathcore than Deathcore (more Coverge and less The Faceless). The production is also different, as it's much more moderate and doesn't sound compressed and quantized to oblivion. Say what you want about the current genre trend, this is still one damn good album that changes meter faster than your mom changes boyfriends.
fuckin' great post, man! i've been a huge fan of this record since it came out. clients is also really good, but nothing compares to this first record.
ReplyDeletealso, i put your blog in my blogreel. keep the good ones comin' in.
Thanks, I'll add your blog here too. I never got into Clients, but Fed Through the Teeth Machine is pretty cool. Even though it has the annoying production I mentioned above and occasional weak Cannibal Corpse "blast-beats".
