The upheaval in Chrome Division’s line-up these past few years was bound to impact the band’s future productions in some way – but how much exactly? Frontman Shady Blue, who stepped into Eddie Guz’s shoes at the time of 3rd Round Knockout, told us in the following interview that the inclusions of Damage Karlsen on guitar and Ogee on bass have considerably bettered the band’s music. For the vocalist, those two are undeniably talented – that’s particularly the case for Karlsen, who replaces Ricky Black, who left the band of his own volition two years ago.
This brand new Chrome Division is intensely creative and now boasts a pair of guitarists (Shagrath and Karlsen) who don’t dawdle when it comes to composing – to the point that Infernal Rock Eternal, the band’s latest album, was composed exclusively by them. The singer, for his part, took care on his own of the record’s vocal parts. The cogs might be new, but the machine is already running smoothly.
Strong alchemy now reigns in Chrome Division, and despite everybody’s various side-projects, the band focuses heavily on their music. Shady Blue told us all about it with passion and honesty. He even talked about the Ricky Black affair and his departure, as well as the story surrounding Karlsen’s audition and his own projects, Susperia and Borknagar.
