CHROME DIVISION “Infernal Rock Eternal” /CD/

The third full-length album by the Norwegian Heavy‘N’Roll Metal band.
The side-band of Shagrath, Dimmu Borgir vocalist.
If there is one band that can step up to the dirty attitude of bands like Motorhead it definitely is Chrome Division! Founded back in 2004 Chrome Division boasts a line-up that consists of some of Norway’s finest and well-known Metal musicians.
Shagrath, usually the grim and infamous vocalist of Black Metal gods Dimmu Borgir, lets out his unexposed side as the axe-wielding rock n’ roller. During the summer of ’04, he summoned his longtime friends Lex Icon (The Kovenant, ex- Dimmu Borgir) and Luna of Ashes To Ashes respectively on drums and bass guitar. After months of beer drinking and rehearsing, the band took shape and Chrome Division was formed. When the task of finding the right vocalist came along, Eddie Guz, frontman of the Norwegian Rock`n`Roll sensation The Carburetors, was quickly decided to be the chosen one. Guitarist Ricky Black and his fierce guitar solos were the last missing ingredient to complete this hellish cocktail. In the summer of 2005, drummer Lex Icon had to leave the band and was replaced by Tony White of Minas Tirith fame. Enter 2009 Eddie Guz was to leave the Division only to be replaced by another Norwegian legend. Shady Blue, also known as Athera, of Thrash Metal masters Susperia joined the band in late 2009 and added a whole new level of musicianship to the Chrome Division concept. With his one-of-a-kind vocal style, Shady made “3rd Round Knockout” stand out even more from nowadays Rock Music.
Chrome Division not only made a statement with their own incredibly catchy, straight-in-your-face songs with this third, perfectly produced and set up album, but also covered Johnny Cash's evergreen “Ghostriders In The Sky” in the most perfect way there is.
Crack open a bottle of good o’l Jack Daniels, get your girls dancing and put “3rd Round Knockout” on your stereo!
Play it loud!! This is doomsday Rock N’ Roll at its best!!!

The fourth full-length album by the Norwegian Stoner Hard Rock/Heavy Metal band.
Shagrath is well known from his band Dimmu Borgir, but not everybody knows that there’s a different side to this guy: his love for dirty Rock And Roll. Featuring respected players of the Norwegian Metal scene, including members from Dimmu Borgir and Susperia, Chrome Division has been swinging wildly with all four full-length albums. Some of those swings connected solidly for stellar offerings blending Rock and Metal (especially sophomore effort “Booze, Broads and Beelzebub”) while others have been less satisfying. It’s not entirely Chrome Division’s fault, dealing with vocalist and bassist departures as well as schedules of members in much bigger bands, but the quality and focus has ping ponged a bit between albums.
The band's fourth album is something the world would never expect. A perfect blend of Dirty Rock, Stoner and even elements of Metal. There are still heavy riffs and booming Metal drums, but this disc is significantly more rooted in Hard Rock from decades past.
At times, the album seems like it could come from a very different outfit, such as “Lady of Perpetual Sorrow”, which is significantly more soulful than anything we have heard from these guys in the past. It seems like the hard partying bikers hit that part of the drunk where things get sad and you reminisce about the past. Is the party finally ending? Sure not!
If you like Rock And Roll dirty, greasy, and deep-fried, with a shot of whiskey, then "Infernal Rock Eternal" is an album for you!! An intense and highly creative album, "Infernal Rock Eternal" showcases each member at the zenith of their most creative and raucous. These five Norwegian road bandits had the ability to grasp the finer elements of their influences and mold them into their own diverse sound!!!
