METAL INJECTION’S THE RED CHORD STUDIO DIARY, PART 1
Tuesday, May 5th, 2009 at 11:03am by Axl RosenbergThe Red Chord guitarist Mike “Gunface” McKenzie is shooting and editing an in-studio diary for our friends at Metal Injection chronicling the making of the band’s new album, which will hopefully drop later this year.
When we interviewed Red Chord bassist Greg Weeks last year, he described the band’s writing and recording process thusly:
“We all get in a room and yell at each other about stupid shit and then painstakingly put riffs together even though it kills us a little bit each time… We argue, we each want it done our way, we smell, we curse, we bleed all over the place, I kicked someone, let’s eat, we yell, we hate the way other people breathe, cannon ball, kitchen craft, we ignore suggestions, we’re ugly and Santa was there, too.”
Hopefully we’ll get to see some of this insanity in upcoming episodes of Gunface’s diary. In the meantime, here’s his first entry, which documents some drum tracking:

Cant wait for new tunes from these guys. This is one of those bands that is way overlooked and underrated and unknown to way to many people. One of the best bands going as far as I am concerned.
Yeaah, my dude can play him some drums. Anxiously awaiting the new album..
those drums had my head bumping. looking forward to the new poop
i called the shit poop
Stoked
damn it, gunface shaved his head. laaaame
I know! it’s weak….I didnt even recognize him at first.
Their new album will be amazing, I’m sure. Cannot wait.
I hope this album will be better than Prey for Eyes…
It sounded kind of weak to me.
