Chrome (band)
|
|
Chrome was one of the first industrial musical groups. At its core, Chrome consisted of Helios Creed (guitar) and Damon Edge (Drums and synthesizers), although it was formed by Gary Spain (bass, guitar, vocals) and Edge in 1976. At that time the band also included Gary Lambdin (vocals, guitar and bass) and Mike Low (guitar, synth, and bass). After the first LP, The Visitation, Low and Lambdin left, and after the second LP, Alien Soundtracks, Spain became increasingly less involved with the band.
When they split the band up, Damon Edge continued on with the name, playing with the Bros. Stench. The music was a good bit different: still loud abrasive post-punk music, but less experimental in texture. Edge moved to Berlin, and released several records under the name Chrome.
Damon Edge died in Los Angeles the summer of 1995, of heart failure.
After Damon's death, Helios picked up the name and began releasing new material.
