From the band's formation by the late Damon Edge in 1975, joined by longtime vocalist/guitarist Helios Creed in '77, Chrome has developed a unique methodology within the band, bringing art into sound, splicing in a Sci-Fi collage of sound bites, combining searing rock with noise, weirdness, pile driver rhythms (including scrap metal percussion), heavy rhythm-guitar riffs, effects-laden vocals, psychedelic guitar leads, and mindbending audio manipulations. Known for their experimental, de/re-construction of rock and roll, on the heels of their March US tour, in which Dave Segal from Seattle's 'The Stranger' proclaimed, '...the maliciously inventive guitarist Creed sporadically has resurrected Chrome and kept the music vital and vicious at an age when most rockers' creativity has withered.', the seminal post-punk psychedelic outfit will embark on the 2nd leg of their major tour in May to support their 21st studio album 'Techromancy', which was released last year on Cleopatra Records.
