CAPE CHROME – Cape Chrome I (2017)
Hailing from Gävle, Sweden four-piece CAPE CHROME has been around under various names for nearly twenty years. It was nearly five years ago when the band decided it was time to record the songs written all over these years.
CAPE CHROME manage and release their music by themselves – no pressure to follow any trend, so they do what they want and what they love. And they love classic ’80s AOR / Melodic Rock.
And on this, the band’s debut, they add a touch of Progressive AOR / Pomp to make it more interesting. Think Journey Augeri-era, Kevin Chalfant’s Two Fires, ’80s Saga, etc. All songs are pretty long, but work like 3-songs-into-1, very melodious and articulated.
