Washington D.C. crossover thrashers, Red Death, have released their third studio album and Century Media Records debut, Sickness Divine. A video filmed by David Thelen & Norman Heiner during the band’s recent European tour with Cro-Mags is being launched today for the song, “(Refuse To Be) Bound By Chains”.

Vocalist/bassist Chad Troncale checked in with the following comment about “(Refuse To Be) Bound By Chains”: “I resist life’s oppression and prefer to live my life by my rules. It’s very much a “Robin Hood” minded song. Featuring four lines written by one of my favorite lyricists, Mr. Jason Tarpey (Eternal Champion / Iron Age).”

Produced by Arthur Rizk (Power Trip, Sacred Reich), the album's physical release will be available as limited first-pressing Digipak CD with a bonus track (Misfits cover of "Death Comes Ripping") and a sticker or as Gatefold LP on 180gr. vinyl with poster.

With cover art  by Timbul Cahoyno (The Black Dahlia Murder, Nocturnus A.D.), Sickness Divine is a sledgehammer-to-the-skull riff-ride across its 10 annihilating tracks. Order here.
