Although the band is not commercially accessible, they have found themselves having a great deal of popularity due to the rise of Metalcore in the mainstream. RELEASES The band's first album, '' Fused Together In Revolving Doors '', saw much success in the underground hardcore/metal community, with songs such as ''Nihilist'' and ''Sixteen Bit Fingerprint''. Arguably the band's most popular song, ''Dreaming in Dog Years'', was also released on this album. The title of this album is a reference to the 1942 Cocoanut Grove Nightclub fire in Boston , MA , the deadliest nightclub fire in American history. The Red Chord's sophomore album, ''Clients'', was released in 2005 with much anticipation and has been very successful. The album's first single release, ''Antman'', was met with some hesitation as it does not, according to many fans, best represent the album. The title of the album was originally derived from an inside joke/story between Guy Kozowyk's family and friends, referring to the mentally disabled students whom a member of Kozowyk's family drove a bus for. This term eventaully spread out to mean anybody whom one did service for. The title reflects the songs, as the songs are stories from and about "clients," or mentally disabled people whom Guy has had experience with working in a convienence store located next to a rehabilitation/mental hosptial. Each song is a different "client," or a different person with a mental ailment, ranging from Schitzophrenia , to Multiple Personality Disorder , to extreme Obsessive Compulsive Disorder . The song ''Black Santa'' would best desribe the album and its meanings, as it actaully depicts everything that is used as an inspiration in the album: the job Guy worked at, the people he encountered, the stories he heard, and the notion that everybody both has and is a "client," meaning everybody works for somebody, and that everybody is not entirely mentally stable. LINE UP CHANGES The Band has undergone many drummer changes recently, and are currently still searching for a new drummer. SIDE PROJECTS The Red Chord's vocalist Guy Kozowyk has recently launced his own record label Black Market Activities , releasing new music from popular metal/hardcore/grindcore bands such as Ed Gein (band) , Animosity , and From A Second Story Window . The Red Chord's sophomore album ''Clients'' was also released on this label. MEMBERS
