the red chord - fused together in revolving doors

label: robotic empire
released: 2002

the early 00s was a wonderous time to be alive.
unless you were aware of the mp3.com you'd think that music had all but died (well. at least on its way there).
as mentioned here on the SGM i'd done alot of poking and prodding around there....
a life once lost.
choke their rivers with our dead.
circle takes the square.
daughters.
guyana punch line.
maudlin of the well.
nuclear rabbit.
the postman syndrome.

just to name a few.
and no.
i didn't discover them in alphabetical order.
silly.

and then there's the red chord.
the first song i'd ever heard from them came from this album in the form of "dreaming in dog years".
it was such a clusterfuck.
chaotic precision.
the vocals reminded me of brutal truth's kevin sharp because of how it would go from completely fucking guttural like an attacking bear to an anguished scream like that same bear trying to tear itself free from a bear trap.
know what i mean?
sure you do.

and then that voice was trying to convince me that everything wasn't going to be all right and it wasn't going to be ok.....
i was fucking sold on this band and i wanted to subscribe to their newsletter.

do you own a copy of HELLFEST 2003 on dvd?
no?
what you need to do then is go into the youtubes and look for them performing "dreaming in dog years".
that's what they're all about,kid.

this album may be alot for most folks to take in at first.
the entire thing kicks off with the equivalent to someone screaming at you while firing off a semi-automatic weapon.
aka "nihilist".
also worth mentioning: this entire fucking album,pussy.

listen.
i've either already sold you on this album or i haven't or you're all like "oh man! finally! i lost my copy in the divorce! ha! fuck you,(insert name here)! you're the bestest,SGM!".

agreed.
we are the bestest.
take that,(insert name here).
