Prog4you.com - Progressive Metal Review - Chrome Shift

: : REVIEW : :

If you like progressive metal, go get Chrome Shift. These guys are firmly in this tradition, and know well what they are doing. From powerful rhythmic sections with the right blend of synth reinforcement, to meaningful, well orchestrated lead guitar solos, this act demonstrates that they can both play and write strong songs. Vocally, you’ll hear some Bruce Dickinson—as you often do in progressive metal—but the intimations of prog masters upon whose shoulders Chrome Shift stands is evident equally with their own unique sound and style.

Chrome Shift

Lyrically, the group may lack just a tad. But often this is less of a concern for listeners (except in prog metal where the consumers are typically well read and ponderous). Strong keys and melody throughout interplay with heavy chord progressions giving a wonderful balance for the listener. One last note: nice harmonies here. This is worth the bucks—Dream Theater and Queensryche fans should pay attention.
