DIMMU BORGIR Frontman's CHROME DIVISION To Release Sophomore Album In July

May 14, 2008

CHROME DIVISION, the Norwegian five-piece featuring DIMMU BORGIR frontman Shagrath (a.k.a. Stian Thoresen) on guitar, will release its second album, "Booze, Broads And Beelzebub", on July 18 via Nuclear Blast Records. The follow-up to 2006's "Doomsday Rock 'n' Roll" was recorded at Studio Fredman in Sweden during January 2008 and contains a dozen or so tracks, including a cover of a classic ZZ TOP tune. The material is described by the band as "a bit more varied than on 'Doomsday Rock 'n Roll'. A bit more metal, more fast stuff, but still the basics in filthy rock 'n' roll."

"Doomsday Rock 'n' Roll" landed on the Norwegian album chart at position No. 31 back in 2006. The disc was recorded in Oslo, Norway, last winter and contains a musical direction described by the band as "stripped down groovy rock 'n' roll with a primitive attitude."

CHROME DIVISION shot a video for the "Doomsday Rock 'n' Roll" track "Serial Killer" in Gothenburg, Sweden with director Patric Ullaeus (IN FLAMES, DIMMU BORGIR, LACUNA COIL, SOILWORK). Watch the clip below.

CHROME DIVISION lineup:

Shagrath - Guitar
