Roseville, California's Chrome Ghost blends doom, sludge, and post-metal into a slow-burning, psychedelic heavy sound. Their music favors long-form compositions that build tension through layers of distortion and atmospheric dynamics.
Richmond, Virginia's Chrome Huffer collides black metal, death metal, and thrash into a filthy, genre-blurring assault with a distinctly underground character. Their sound carries the grit and attitude of Richmond's historically strong DIY metal scene.
Progressive metal band from Aabenraa in southern Jutland, Denmark, formed in 2015. They craft intricate, dynamic compositions from the Danish borderlands.
Industrial metal act from Amsterdam, formed in 2017. Chrome Sky merges cold electronic textures with metallic aggression from the Dutch capital.
Chicago post-black metal act Chrome Waves weaves depressive atmosphere and shoegaze texture into their tremolo-heavy compositions, creating music that is introspective as much as it is punishing. Their work is emotionally dense, drawing from both the coldness of black metal and the haze of dream-pop.
Speed metal band from Joensuu, Finland, emerging in 2025. They channel high-velocity metal from eastern Finland.
Chromeskull is a thrash and speed metal band from São Paulo, Brazil, formed in 2017 and later incorporating heavier power metal elements. The band released the EP "Deads Shall Rise" in 2019, followed by "Screams in the Night" in 2020, and their debut full-length album "Screaming to the World" in 2023. Their music is characterized by high-energy riffing, soaring leads, and a driving, hard-edged approach rooted in classic 80s metal.
Clementon, New Jersey's Chronepsis blends melodic black metal, death metal, and raw blackened fury into a sound steeped in dark fantasy and mythological themes. Their music balances aggression with melodic sweep drawn from the Scandinavian melodic extreme metal tradition.
Springfield, Ohio groove metal band Chronic Aggression keeps it heavy and direct, built on mid-tempo down-tuned riffs and a rhythm-first approach to metal songwriting. Their sound sits firmly in the machine-groove tradition popularized by the early 1990s.
