About Me: Valley Of Chrome is: rogel: vocals jet: guitars tatel: guitars jordy: bass voltaire: the man behind the band Though purists would dismiss this bands trademark sound as blasphemous and unfaithful to traditional music styles, Open minded individuals are in for a musical collage that would drive metal kids to mosh and sing along, hardcore kids to play air guitar, and convince emo kids to end whimpering and feel ten times bigger than they really are Whether you like them or not, this band has become a force to be reckoned within the local music scene and whether the musical climate favors them or not, Valley of Chrome is here to stay. Starting out with the desire to rock out in a hardcore band, They have endured both praises and criticisms for doing things their way, Not to mention some line up changes and their fair share of bad times, This only paved the way for them to change for the better and re discover old and appreciate new musical styles citing bands like In flames Atreyu, Shadows fall, Iron maiden, Killswitch engage, Old Metallica and Guns and roses as major influences on the bands dynamic guitar driven sound. Currently the band is playing various gigs in and out of the metro usually along contemporaries and good friends like Sultans of Snap, Cog, Saydie, Greyhoundz, Queso ,Typecast and Chicosci. And the response from people have been very overwhelming, Inspiring the band to play every gig as if its the first and last time theyre ever going to play. So far the band has released 3 EPs Beyond definition (2001), Transparent (2002) and Anthems for the sellout youth (2003) And their full length album Love & Devotion (2004) showcases Valley of Chrome in their best element showing the importance of heaviness and brutality, yet never compromising melody and musicianship… The band is currently hard at work writing new songs one of which is a tagalog song entitled “dasal” which is already a crowd favorite…
