The Red Chord have announced that they've (finally) found a full time drummer. The band posted this statement about their newest member and the status of their upcoming record Clients, which is due out next year via Metal Blade.

After the last year of having a rotating spot behind the kit, we have finally found a drummer who we believe will be the permanent guy from here on out. His name is Brad Fickeisen. Some folks from Massachusetts may remember his playing from being in a band from the area called Eviscerate years back.

As for the new recording, we are going into the studio with Zuess at Planet Z starting the first week of January, which sets us at a May release date for the release of Clients.

The band plans to resume touring in February or March after the completion of the record and expects to be on the road for most of 2005. They recently reissued their debut Fused Together in Revolving Doors with Robotic Empire.
