THE RED CHORD made a giant leap from their debut release Fused Together in Revolving Doors to 2005’s Clients, a leap that found the band moving from tiny clubs to the world’s biggest metal stage as part of OZZFEST 2006. Fortunately the change in venue has not changed THE RED CHORD’s core ethos of creating a highly disturbing, thought provoking grind/metal hybrid. Prey For Eyes pick ups where Clients left off, taking the bands brand on sonic mayhem to another level. However, unlike the Clients, Prey for Eyes is not a concept album. Inspired by actual people, events, dreams, books and loads of random thoughts, Prey for Eyes lyrically contains more twists, and turns all over the map, loaded with more imagination and curveballs than you can shake a stick at. Also unlike the two previous records, Prey for Eyes focuses far less on the negative aspects of everything and is an emotional, bipolar rollercoaster of double and triple meanings in every song, meant to provoke thoughts and free thinking. To that end, THE RED CHORD vocalist GUY KOZOWYK lends some insight to the title track, 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 has removed his tongue, my brother checks the cons mouth with his flashlight. When he tells him that his tongue is definitely in tact, the inmate replies with the cryptic message Pray for Eyes.
