Japanese Thrash Metal Vets CODE RED Return With New Track [Japan]

By on April 18, 2026

Japanese thrash metal veterans CODE RED have released the first taste of their upcoming 3rd full length via THRASHING CULT RECORDS. The full record will hit stores this July.

This album represents the band’s current form, forged through years of evolution and struggle. Relentlessly sharpened riffs, punishing rhythms, and vocals that capture the madness of the battlefield—all elements merge into a more brutal and refined form of thrash metal than ever before.

As the title “HELLFORGED WARPATH” suggests, the album is built around the concept of a path forged through hell itself- reflecting the band’s internal conflicts, loss, and the unbreakable will that drives them forward.

Formed in the late 1990s in Yokosuka/Yokohama, Japan, the band is known for their European-influenced thrash sound—featuring razor-sharp riffs, aggressive speed, and a war-driven atmosphere. They are also known for organizing the long-running DIY event “OBSCENE RITUAL”.
