The Red Chord's 2002 debut Fused Together In Revolving Doors received a lot of critical and commercial praise. 2005's Clients wasn't as well received by the masses. With a lot of pressure facing them on the release of their third CD, The Red Chord comes through with an excellent effort.
The strength of Prey For Eyes is the songwriting. The Red Chord constructs memorable riffs on top of memorable riffs, making the dense, complex and technical songs also very catchy. Death metal, grindcore and hardcore influences ebb and flow within each song, creating a diverse and interesting soundscape. There are a few metalcore style breakdowns, but not as many as on past albums.
In addition to Guy Kozowyk's screaming vocals, there are also guest appearances from Nate Newton of Converge and Jonny Davy from Job For A Cowboy, who contribute vocals on two songs apiece. It's such a cliche, but this is truly one of those albums that reveals something new every time you listen.
