5 Questions with Jeff Wilson from Chrome Waves

 

         A couple weeks ago, I stumbled on the BandCamp page of Chrome waves, a new project that features Chicago metal heavyweights Stavros Giannopoulos (The Atlas Moth) and Jeff Wilson (Ex-Nachtmystium). For obvious reasons, I liked what I heard. The band recently became one of the first few bands signed to upstart Gracedancer Records, and they have an album coming out this summer. If you like any kind of metal at all, this is a band you need to hear. Many thanks to Jeff for answering my questions.

Throw on your head phones, play the debut album Wander/Wonder from Tri Angle Record’s ownBalam Acab and prepare to enter a world which could only be conceived by H.P. Lovecraft himself. “Wander/Wonder” stands to prove that Balam Acab is an artist with a voice and style that is truly unique and inspired. While the artist has had some success with his earlier EP “See Birds”, this debut full album has put Balam Acab on the map, showing that he is an artist who has matured and most definitely conceived something of its own nature.
