The band split following the ''3rd From the Sun'' and ''Raining Milk'' albums, after which Edge would continue to use the band name and release more synth-based (and heavily [[DorkAge derided]]) works until his death in 1995. Then in 1997 Helios Creed, who had been experiencing a prolific solo career since 1985, took the Chrome name back and returned it to its noisy Rock roots. The Helios-fronted band has sporadically recorded and performed ever since.

** The ''Read Only Memory'' EP is 21 minutes long, and though there are individual tracks, the whole thing runs uninterrupted. The re-release on the ''No Humans Allowed'' compilation takes it UpToEleven, having the entire EP on one track and having it run ''twice'': once normally and then in reverse.

* {{Corpsing}}: The odd background laughter in "A Cold Clammy Bombing". It's louder than the lead vocals.

* AwesomeMcCoolname: Damon Edge and Helios Creed.

* NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly: Industrial, cut-and-paste, synthesized Acid Punk.

* DeadArtistsAreBetter: Fans and listeners were more forgiving towards Damon's post-Helios music after his death. They still prefer the records with Helios, though.

Chrome are an influential {{Industrial}} PostPunk/{{Industrial}} band from UsefulNotes/SanFrancisco. The band, founded in 1975 by the late mastermind Damon Edge (born Thomas Wisse) and recurring bassist Gary Spain, initially played Psychedelic, experimental rock music described by some as "Music/BrianEno meets Music/{{Santana}}". However in 1976, following the addition of effects-overloaded guitar-god Helios Creed (born Barry Johnson), the band began taking in Punk influences and developed into the Industrial Acid Punk for which they are known. Their 1979 album, ''Half Machine Lip Moves'', is widely considered their defining statement.
