Hear Red Brick’s “The Price,” a Queer Resistance Anthem from Upcoming Album
Philly’s destructive hardcore/sludge/grindcore/death metal duo Red Brick is streaming “The Price” as the second preview off their upcoming album, Thrown, set to be available on July 25 via Horror Pain Gore Death Productions CD and digital formats, along with merch.
Speaking on the new single, vocalist/guitarist Mag Stephens states: “If you, much like me, are a member of the queer community and you struggle not to feel afraid right now, this song goes out to you. No one is coming to save us; it is up to us to keep each other safe. This song is about making one of the bastards who terrorize us pay.”

Thrown Album Cover
Red Brick is made up of two violent homunculi grown in Petri dishes in the bowels of Philadelphia for the dual purpose of suffering and playing false sludge. They arrived upon the world in 2021 AD with the EP Gastric. Operating as a trio until about a year before the debut album, Thrown, was slated for release, Red Brick eventually condensed into a two-piece. That shift birthed a new dimension for the band, as vocalist/guitarist Mag Stephens states: “Through all our various trials and tribulations, we feel like we’ve truly found our sound on this one.”
Recorded in the dead of winter as they mourned the living, Thrown is a testament to their nature, blending sludge, hardcore, grindcore, and death metal sensibilities seamlessly for a soundtrack befitting only the most destructive crash-outs imaginable. Anchored in real-world despair, class violence, and moments of seething clarity, Thrown doesn’t simmer, it erupts. Substance abuse, queer trauma, dead-end jobs, burnout, incompetent authority, performative activism, blind consumerism — it’s all here.
If you see Red Brick, do not make any sudden movements and back away slowly.
