Having played shows across North America with the likes of Power Trip, Iron Reagan, Municipal Waste, Exodus, Obituary, Terror and also a European tour with Foreseen last year, RED DEATH are currently working on the final touches of new material for their upcoming third album and Century Media Records debut. The album will be recorded with producer Arthur Rizk (Code Orange, Power Trip, etc) and is expected to be released later in 2019.
United by a love for "Master Of Puppets"-era Metallica, "Animosity"-era Corrosion of Conformity, Discharge and the best of 80's Thrash Metal, RED DEATH was born out of a 2013 basement jam session between drummer Connor Donegan (also of Genocide Pact), guitarist Ace Mendoza and frontman Chad Troncale. RED DEATH became an underground favorite with the release of 2015's "Permanent Exile" followed by US gigs and tours with the likes of Power Trip and Obituary. With 2017's "Formidable Darkness" album and a line-up that saw Troncale assume bass and vocal duties as well as the addition of Enforced guitarist Will Wagstaff, RED DEATH proved themselves a force to be reckoned with as they blasted stages around the world. 2019 promises the band's third full-length as they take up serious contender status with new label Century Media Records.
Press quotes about RED DEATH and their previous release "Formidable Darkness":
They can appeal to any end of the extreme music world spectrum, especially on this record. No matter what the lineup is, RED DEATH fits, a feat rarely and not so easily achieved. ' No Echo
RED DEATH, and "Formidable Darkness" specifically, bring out the best elements of hardcore and thrash. There are no filler parts, only mean transitions that draw on both old and new clichés to get people moving. ' CVLT NATION
Washington, D.C.'s RED DEATH, much like Power Trip, practice the crossover approach as we meant it in 1987, playing ripping thrash with mosh pit'ready breakdowns. ' Revolver (online)
