Red – Release The Panic – Essential
By Jeffrey Easton
Red have unleashed their forth record on the unsuspecting public and it will scorch the listeners to embers. This is full throttle rock at its best: tense, angry and unrelenting. Imagine shades of Disturbed but only harder. The guitars are pure chainsaws that go right through your senses.. The title track opens up this beast and it’s a welcome call to create mayhem. The song, Release The Panic, doesn’t fail to live up to the opening aggro rhythms and if this doesn’t pump your blood, your dead. Perfect Life continues the damage with vocalist Michael Barnes assaulting the falsehoods of your life. But as hard driving as the record is and it continues the carnage with Damage and Same Disease as well as If We Only, it can shift gears on a dime with the heart wrenching ballads Die For You and Hold Me Now. Hold Me Now should be a top ten hit as it has “raise your lighters and make out with your other half” written all over it. It moves like no other ballad has in ages. So here we have the aggro album of the year that changes shades to turn in some happier moments if you will and as heavy as the album came in, it goes out with a moving statement in The Moment We Come Alive. This is their anthem and will send thousands of fans in a frenzy to sing along with them in the live setting or in your car. If you have yet to check out Red, this is the album to do it with.
