Formed in Revere, Massachusetts in 1999 by Guy Kozowyk (vocals) and Kevin Rampelberg (guitar), the lineup grew to include Mike "Gunface" [=McKenzie=] (guitar), Adam Wentworth (bass), and Mike Justian (drums), and after a relentless series of shows throughout New England and the East Coast in general, they released a live demo in 2001 before signing to the Robotic Empire label and releasing ''Fused Together in Revolving Doors'', their debut full-length, in 2002. The relentless pace of the shows continued, and by 2004, Wentworth and Justian were gone, with Greg Weeks and John Dow taking their respective spots. Dow only lasted a few months, however, and was quickly replaced by [[Music/{{Origin}} John Longstreth]], who lasted about as long before leaving himself and giving his spot to Brad Fickeisen. They had also signed to Metal Blade Records earlier in the year, and by November, they had entered Planet Z Studios in Hadley, Massachusetts to record their followup. ''Clients'' was released in May of 2005 to excellent reviews and impressive sales, and another stretch of relentless touring followed. Rampelberg left that year as well, and Jonny Fay of the now-gone Deadwater Drowning jumped in. By 2007, Fay had left as well and was replaced by Mike Keller, and ''Prey for Eyes'' was released in July of that year. Keller left the following year, and rather than trying to fill his spot, they opted to keep it a four-piece. Around the beginning of 2009, they went in to record their fourth full-length with Fay at his home studio in Milford, New Hampshire, and by the end of October, ''Fed Through the Teeth Machine'' was out. Unfortunately, the touring demands proved to be too much for Fickeisen, who left around the beginning of 2010 and was replaced by a returning Justian. More touring followed and Justian left again in 2011; [[Music/JobForACowboy Jon Rice]] joined on a purely live basis, but after several tours, they became entirely inactive. Rumors of a breakup or hiatus started finding their way around, though the band later stated via Facebook that they were not dead or dormant, just taking their sweet time to write an album. Nothing happened in 2012, and in 2013, Kozowyk was sworn in as a police officer in Manchester, New Hampshire; combined with the inactivity, it seemed as if The Red Chord was stone dead. 2014, however, indicated that they were still kicking, as evidenced by a festival appearance in Japan and a co-headlining bill in Worcester, Massachusetts with their buddies in Music/DespisedIcon. "Bad Batch", their first new song in five years, was played, but after a few more shows over the course of 2015 came and went, they slid right back into their hiatus, but made yet another return in 2022, this time alluding to the potential for a more substantial return..

* {{Deathcore}}: A TropeCodifier and ''very'' debatably an UrExample, as there are tons of other bands with equally-strong claims to the title of "deathcore pioneer". That being said, their sound is quite different from what deathcore later became.

* {{Deathcore}}: A TropeCodifier and ''very'' debatably an UrExample, as there are tons of other bands with equally-strong claims to the title of "deathcore pioneer".pioneer", and the argument could be made that Guy and Kevin Rampelberg created it with Ictus and just got the recognition with The Red Chord a few years later. That being said, their sound is quite different from what deathcore later became. Guy has owed it to his and Rampelberg's musical tastes and lack of self-imposed boundaries - they liked death metal and they liked hardcore just as much, and rather than trying to choose, they just went to shows for both genres and let it naturally flow when writing.
