‘Red Giant’ is taken from CHEMICIDE new album ‘Violence Prevails‘ to be issued on Listenable on the 28th of February, 2025.
“The song is metaphor on how the sun could exterminate all we call life in a single beam of light, just like some politicians do when they get to to power. They have ultimate control over their nations and can control everything and obliterate whatever they want on their path.”

CHEMICIDE band leader Frankie comments about their new album ‘Violence Prevails‘:
«Violence Prevails is a reflection of our daily life. America is a beautiful continent but filled with corruption; more specifically Central and South America. I wanted to portray how there’s no more dialogue; everything is resolved with violence and unfortunately for us, we see a lot of poverty and class disparities among our people. I also wanted to tell a story that could resonate with more individuals across the planet and see that they are not alone when they see what’s happening around them. Violence now is the key to sort out any discrepancies you may have with someone else and we see it on a daily basis with international conflicts around the globe.
Production wise We wanted a late 80’s-early 90’s approach to the sound of this album. Big drums, heavy bass and sharp guitar riffs, all of this mixed with a lot of reverb and a very raw, ‘butchery’ approach to the sound. Martín Furia – of Bark and Destruction fame who mixed and mastered the album – understood this perfectly and he helped us shape the sound of this album. He took Black Sabbath’s “Dehumanizer” as an inspiration for the drum sound and we tried to start from scratch on the guitar, bass and vocal sound.»
