The Red Chord has offered more information about the release of their forthcoming full-length "Prey For Eyes." The album will feature guest appearances from Nate Newton of Converge, John Davy of Job For A Cowboy and Mirai Kawashima of Sigh.
Speaking on the title track, band frontman Guy Kozowyk had the following to say:
"Inspired by events where my brother, who is a prison guard, walks in on an inmate doing something ridiculous in his cell. The prisoner won't talk and gets into this dialogue via a notepad. After documenting that he can no longer talk because the devil removed his tongue, my brother checks the cons mouth with his flashlight. When he tells him that his tongue is definitely intact, the inmate replies with the cryptic message "Pray for Eyes."
The album is set to be released July 24th through Metal Blade Records.
In other news, the band will be performing across the U.S. this fall as part of the "Metal Blade 25th Anniversary Tour" with Cannibal Corpse and more. As soon as we get a further update, we will post it here on the blog.
