THE RED CHORD Announce New Drummer

November 18, 2004

THE RED CHORD vocalist Guy Kozowyk has issued the following update regarding the group's drummer search:

"After the last year of having a rotating spot behind the kit, we have finally found a drummer who we believe will be the permanent guy from here on out. His name is Brad Fickeisen. Some folks from Massachusetts may remember his playing from being in a band from the area called EVISCERATE years back. We had some pretty huge shoes to fill with previously working with drummers like Mike Justain, Jon Dow and John Longstreth. Brad can definitely hold his own. He has some great chops, hits hard and can blast with the best of them. He has an interesting style that flows with our new material. I definitely don't foresee their being any disappointment from people familiar with us once you all get to check this guy out.

"As for the new recording, we are going into the studio with Zeuss at Planet Z starting the first week of January, which sets us at a May release date for the release of 'Clients'. Some songs that will definitely be on the new album include 'Fixation on Plastics', 'Upper Decker', 'Stupefaction', 'Hospice Residence' and 'Antman'.

"The band will resume playing shows in February/March after the recording is complete and will probably be on the road for the majority of 2005.

"In other news, bassist Gregory Weeks is slowly coping with the trauma of now being the second tallest member of the band. He is expected to recover completely."
