Chrome w/Helios Creed

"Lauded by critics and fans as one of the pioneers of industrial rock, the San Francisco outfit coupled psych-punk and electrodub with lyrical themes of alienation, paranoia, and '50s sci-fi cinema." - SF Bay Guardian

"In the late 1970's, under the innocuous name of Chrome, two San Franciscans Damon Edge (vocals, synths, etc.) and Helios Creed (vocals, guitar, etc.), with part-time rhythm-section assistance by the Stench brothers of Pearl Harbor's band created an often awesome series of pre-industrial LPs that explore a dark state of mind only hinted at by '60s psychedelia. Taking cues from Suicide, Can, Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix, the Residents and anyone who ever made home tapes in their bedroom, the pair's dense, chaotic science-fiction epics are vivid vinyl nightmares a thick blend of mechanical noises, filtered, twisted voices and fantastic, bizarre lyrics that flesh out a frightening world both absorbing and repellent." - Trouser Press
