CHROME WAVES' first full-length, A Grief Observed, sees the outfit making its return with a new lineup, taking the outfit from a sporadic side project to a full-time act. With six dense, mid-paced tracks, the dynamic album weaves through a myriad of sounds and styles, coalescing the members' influences from black metal, doom, post/alt-metal, dark pop, and more. A Grief Observed was engineered by Niko Albanese with the band's James Benson and Jeff Wilson, finished with artwork by Wilson.
As the album is prepared for release and the band embarks on tour, Wilson offers from the road, "It took a lot of effort and we waited a long time to release this record and with that came a lot of different emotions... Anxiety. Sadness. Anger. Relief. I hope all of these are displayed while listening to the album. We're stoked to play the songs this week. Cheers!"
