Chrome - Into The Eyes Of The Zombie King (1984)

Chrome was an experimental rock group founded in San Francisco, California in 1976. Chrome took part of their inspiration for their rough and sometimes chaotic music from proto punk pioneers like The Stooges. The sound of the group was often coarse and featured heavy elements of feedback and distortion. Their experiments in mixing synthesized noise with rock instrumentation have been cited as a forerunner of industrial rock music.

After the 1^st album (The Visitation, 1976), and some line-up changes, Damon Edge (founder) and Helios Creed (guitars from 77 on) established a successful line-up basis. The Edge/Creed period was the most remarkable to me (78/82), and with some very good releases amidst. Damon Edge then moved to Europe and kept recording under Chrome’s name alone until his death (1996), when Helios Creed, then, turned the Chrome’s name into himself in order to keep releasing under Chrome’s also. Into The Eyes Of The Zombie King was the Damon Edge 1^st release after the break with Helios Creed.
