CHROMIUM BLITZ originates from Nashville, Tennessee.
The band consists of three founding members:
Scott Clarke -(Lead Vocals, Harmony Vocals, Lead Guitars, Drums and Percussion)
Ricardo Galvan -(Lead Vocals, Harmony Vocals, Bass)
Jack Browning -(Harmony vocals, Lead guitars, Keyboards)
The songwriting shared between Clarke and Galvan is based on factual, real life events and experiences through the years reflective of the appropriate title of their debut CD, Hardtimes. The groups name is a description of the power, passion and intensity it brings to you musically on disc or in a live performance.
The band started playing live under the name, "Madhatter" performing two benefit concerts for the Muscular Dystrophy Association and a benefit for ”Rock for the Animals,” in the Nashville area. Their first demo was recorded and, shortly thereafter, received 31 airplays in 25 days. The group placed second in the 92-Q Budweiser Showdown Tournament of Jams. Later, they took a trip to Panama City Beach, Florida making it into the finals of the Battle of the Bands.
After playing live concerts, club dates and getting much recognition for 4 solid years, the lead vocalist left the band right in the middle of the bands up and coming success, just a month before the band was booked to open up for Judas Priest and Krokus at The Starwood Ampitheatre.
The founding members later decided, it was time to change the band name and head into the studio to record their debut album, "Hardtimes" with Clarke and Galvan sharing the lead vocal responsibilities. With Clarke singing the high tenor range songs and Galvan singing the lower baritone range songs creating an original stlye more diverse than most hard rock/metal bands you hear today.
Since, the band has received great reviews on the CD locally, nationally, internationally, in magazines as well as webzines online. Their music is being aired in Nashville, TN, Rochester, NY, Daytona Beach, FL, and in many other states on radio stations, and worldwide on internet radio.
CHROMIUM BLITZ - "HARDTIMES"
-A HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FIVE STAR ROCK CD-
"This CD is an undiscovered epic for all rock lovers to own"
-NASHVILLE MUSIC GUIDE- Nashville
CHROMIUM BLITZ crosses the Progressive/Power Metal barrier one way and heads the opposite direction with traditional, solid groove Hard Rock. Melodic musical passages, stunning versatile vocal work with colorful hooks, and a mixture of catchy hamonies capture your attention early on their debut CD, Hardtimes. The CD captures the classic,"up in your face" sound that made the heavy hitters of the 70's, 80's and 90's a known force to reckon with.
As you start track one you have an instantly haunting introduction that preludes the up tempo, Ozzy induced, Sabbath styled riffer, "Contrivance" which instantly grabs your attention with the pounding drums and grinding guitar riffs, topping it off with a dark feel in the chorus and overall lyric content. The mood soon get's in the up mode with the funk-metal groover, "Good Thing" which quickly reveals the groups talent by showing there's another lead vocalist, in this very dynamic rockfest of variety at it's peak.
They demonstrate "about face" versatility with the orchestrated acoustic ballad, "Baby I Smile", tugging at your heart strings in the same light as supergroups, Chicago and legends of yesterday, The Beatles. But, the band doesn't stop there and shows yet another unsuspected twist to the mystery by showing their roots of down south, and captures the esscence again with the bluesy, "Til the Bitter End", showing you that there's a little bit of Lynyrd Skynard in the hardest of rock bands.
"CHROMIUM BLITZ, "HARDTIMES" will remind you of the day when you could buy a record and every song on it was good. There is something for on this album for everyone to enjoy, regardless of age and musical taste" -SHAKE MAGAZINE- Nashville
This CD is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for any serious rock lovers collection. Be sure and checkout this release from the south's hottest hard rock band.
