Ripping Melodic Death Metal / Metalcore from Dallas.
The Red Chord formed in Revere, Massachusetts in 1999 and carved out a distinctive position in extreme metal by combining death metal brutality, grindcore velocity, and metallic hardcore chaos in a way that presaged the deathcore genre before that term solidified. Their 2002 debut Fused Together in Revolving Doors introduced a fanbase to their erratic, high-density approach, and Clients (2005) sold over 50,000 copies in the United States. Prey for Eyes (2007) and Fed Through the Teeth Machine (2009) both charted on the Billboard 200. After a period of inactivity beginning around 2015, the band returned to live performance in 2022.

The band has shared stages with Six Feet Under, Ringworm, and Caliban, and represents one of the more texturally adventurous acts to emerge from the Southwest's underground metal circuit.
