Chrome Division

Recommended Posts

Chrome Division is a heavy metal band from Norway formed in 2004 by Shagrath, the lead vocalist of symphonic black metal band Dimmu Borgir, and Lex Icon, founder of The Kovenant. Although it was not intended as such, it is now considered a side project of Shagrath's, and the current lineup consists of him on rhythm guitar, along with Eddie Guz as the vocalist, Ricky Black on lead guitar, Björn Luna on bass guitar and Tony White on drums. The band plays in the style of bands such as Motörhead, and draws heavily upon imagery from the motorcycling subculture.

To date, Chrome Division has released two albums, Doomsday Rock 'n Roll in 2006 and Booze, Broads and Beelzebub, was released on July 18, but the band has signed a three-album deal with Nuclear Blast. Chrome Division also released a music video for the song "Serial Killer" in an attempt to publicise the album, directed by noted Swedish director Patrick Ullaeus.

Shagrath cites Chrome Division's influences as Kiss, Black Label Society, Spiritual Beggars and AC/DC, and says that he wanted the band to sound like an '80s rock 'n roll heavy metal band. He also talked about the band trying adhere to that image, through lyrical content and such. This was picked up on by Ken Pearce, of SeaOfTranquility.org, and Joe Florez, of The Metal Observer, both of whom commented on the biker culture imagery, which included the sound of a motorcycle revving up at the start of the track "Trouble with the Law". Reviewers compared the sound of the music to Motörhead, and Black Label Society and compared the "fun" attitude of the band to Turbonegro. Shagrath has said that future releases from the band will be "musically the same thing", but that they will "try to add different ingredients" and they may also change the lyrical content.

T'aurais pas pu traduire, nan ? :lol:

La musique est pas mal (on ressent un petit esprit borgirien), la voix est merdique.

C'est clair si nous demandons une présentation (même rapide) c'est pour faire découvrir des groupes, c'est super le concept du copier collé de wikipédia…. encore ça passe quand c’est en Français mais quand c’est en Anglais faut pas déconner… là c'est juste de la flemme.

Après pour ce qui est de la musique c'est pas vilain j'accroche pas sur le chant (mais alors pas du tout).

Ça se laisse écouter si on aime que moyennement le genre.

Moi j'accroche sur cette voix cassée. Suis-je le seul ? :(

[size=1]Où est la règle qui impose une présentation en français ? (Sur d'autres forums les modos même postent des présentations de groupes en anglais, enfin bon) C'est de l'anglais, pas du norvégien...

En ce qui concerne "le concept du copier/coller Wikipédia", c'est simplement le moyen le plus rapide, efficace et utilisé...[/size]

J'aime pas mal... La voix donne vraiment un style propre au groupe: on aime ou on n'aime pas mais ils ressortent clairement de la multitude dans le monde du heavy... peut être aussi parce qu'ils en sont à la frontière...
