Shagrath is well known from his band Dimmu Borgir, and everybody knows that he have his soul on the devils left hand. But not everybody knows that theres a different side to this guy. He has his heart for dirty Rock and Roll.
Until now, this was an unexposed side to him. During the summer of 04 he summoned his long time friends Lex Icon of The Kovenant and Luna of Ashes to Ashes. Respectively on drums and bass guitar. Suddenly they were a trio. During months of rehearsing and beer drinking, the band took shape.Chrome Division was formed.Then came the task of finding the right vocalist. They needed a front man with a real in-your-face attitude. Several guys were considered, but none could meet the demands. Then Luna contacted Eddie Guz, from the rockn roll band The Carburetors. January 05 this sneering bulldog entered the rehearsing place, and he fitted the band like a glove. Furthermore he was the only one who had long time experience in the field of rockn roll.On this point they were close to perfect. It was only missing that last ingredient. And for the extra hot spice Ricky Black was dragged in. And from day one he delivered amazing guitar bending solos.From this point it was evident that Chrome Division was to be more than just a side project.From now on they were like a force, spawning stripped down groovy rockn roll, with a primitive attitude. Strongly determined to go their own ways. To put it short, the label they have put on themselves is Doomsday Rockn Roll.A slight drawback was in summer 05 when Lex Icon had to leave the band. No hard feelings, but there were circumstances that made him unable to rehearse. However the replacement was imminent. Tony from the singular band Minas Tirith, came pronto. Hes a steady and deadly precise drummer. So the band continued even stronger.These five Norwegian road bandits, have the ability to grasp the finer elements of theirinfluences and mould them into their own diverse sound.In other words: The Smell of Hot Leather and Burning Rubber.............
