Shagrath is well known from his band Dimmu Borgir, but not everybody knows that there's a different side to this guy: his love for dirty Rock and Roll.

This was long an unexposed side to him. During the summer of '04 he summoned his long time friends Lex Icon of The Kovenant and Luna of Ashes to Ashes, respectively on drums and bass guitar.

Suddenly they were a trio. During months of rehearsing and beer drinking, the band CHROME DIVISION took shape.

After releasing the highly successful albums; "Doomsday Rock Noll" (2006) and "Booze, Broads, & Beelzebub" (2008) the band were held back from entering the live scene due to immense activity with the members other bands, so it remained a dormant volcano of pure energy.

The band is heavily into the creation of their fourth album which will be something the world would never expect.

A perfect blend of dirty rock, stoner and even elements of metal. An intense and highly creative album is in the making and will hit the streets this year.

Chrome Division is set to play more shows this year than ever combined in their existence, and will become highly active on the live scene in the future as well.

A new era has begun.
