1. At some point in a band’s career you have to make a decision to persevere through the hard times and go forward or just quit! CHROMIUM personifies what courage, perseverance and an undying work ethic is. Originating from the sleepy South African town of Port Elizabeth, CHROMIUM made the big leap into the industry by relocating to the music capital of South Africa, Johannesburg, where they burst onto the scene with a massive presence and new energy that the people were craving. The internationally renowned quartet has been together for six years. With numerous line-up changes and difficult challenges, the band has become a close knit family that is ready to take South African metal to the rest of the world. Being a household name in their home country already, CHROMIUM have taken their energetic and blistering live show beyond the seas to the United Kingdom and will continue to tour Internationally over the coming years. With many chart topping hits on rock format radio stations, CHROMIUM’s sound is extremely recognizable as being their own sound and never imitating what is popular at the time. CHROMIUM was even chosen by the Roadrunner Records A&R team to feature on the major label’s website which showcases talent from all over the globe. After the success of this and the amazing response from fans, the band was asked to be interviewed on major formats both locally and all over the world. Being featured as the title track for Local Slasher “Night Drive” with international distribution as well as touring constantly and regular appearances on National Television & Radio, Chromium is constantly breaking the Stereo-Type of a South African metal band. CHROMIUM is currently touring their third album “Self Titled”, nationally with plans to take it international once again in 2012. This is the follow up to the highly successful ‘Confessions of a Hero’ promises to be a whole new sound with a mature approach while still sticking to their metal roots. 2.CHROMIUM (known as CHROME in USA) (1979) space disco http://saltyka.blogspot.gr/2008/01/chromium-known-as-chrome-in-usa-star-to.html Read more on Last.fm.
