THE RED DEATH Calls It Quits

September 11, 2008

New York-based metallers THE RED DEATH have issued the following update:

"So we're calling it a day and hanging up THE RED DEATH. It's been a fun ride and our thanks go out to Metal Blade Records for giving us the first opportunity to bring our music to a larger audience, Siege Of Amida and Ferret Music for doing all the leg work on the release of 'Godmakers', the past members of this entity for their contributions, and everyone out there across the U.S. that put us up, fed us drinks or joints, put on a show, put a tour together, or bought some merch. The past six years have been incredibly memorable. We're all onto different projects and pursuits with Aaron [Conti, guitar] being involved with recording at Moresound Studios in Syracuse, NY and totally ripping at the controls, Paul's [Hamblin, vocals] doing vocals for the next DEVIL HIS DUE record, Graham's [Mitchell] jamming with FREYA, Mark's [Kelley, guitar] involved with his video editing and recording projects and looking for a band to jam with, and Jordan's [Rathbun, bass] gonna be chillin like a dude for a while and looking to jam as well."

THE RED DEATH will play the following final shows (possible stops in Auburn, NY and Syracuse, NY):

Sep. 13 - Binghamton, NY (with THE ADEPT, PRODUCT OF HOSTILITY)
Sep. 27 - Watertown, NY (Supergnarly Fest)
Oct. 31 - Bath, NY - The Little Pickle (Costume Party)

THE RED DEATH's full-length debut, "External Frames of Referance", was released in April 2005 via Metal Blade Records.
