CHROME DIVISION, the Norwegian five-piece featuring DIMMU BORGIR frontman Shagrath (on guitar), have inked a deal with Nuclear Blast Records. The band entered Panzer studio in Oslo on December 4, 2005 to begin recording their debut album, tentatively due late summer. Two videos from the CD will be shot with acclaimed director Patric Ullaeus of Sweden's Revolver Film Company, who has previously worked with DIMMU BORGIR and LACUNA COIL, among many others. A tour will follow the album's release before the end of the year.
CHROME DIVISION's official bio reads as follows: "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 there's 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 2004 he summoned his long time friends Lex Icon of THE KOVENANT and Luna of ASHES TO ASHES on drums and bass guitar, respectively. Suddenly they were 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 frontman with a real in-your-face attitude. Several guys were considered, but none could meet the demands. Then Luna contacted Eddie Guz, from the rock 'n' roll band THE CARBURETORS. January 2005 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 rock 'n' 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 rock’n 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 rock 'n' roll.
"A slight drawback was in summer 2005 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. He's a steady and deadly precise drummer. So the band continued even stronger."

et que dire du niveau visuel... 
ça commence à vraiment me bander tout ses groupes qui reprennent l' imagerie du hip hop ( pintade en string qui lavent la voiture ), sauf que là, à la place des bikinis roses, elles sont en corset en latex, si je veux voir des pouffs siliconnées je me matte un Tanya Hyde
