Crom

A swaggering, barbaric music group of thrash metallers hailing through the wastelands of LA, Crom — yes, these were named following the deity worshipped with a fellow referred to as Conan the Barbarian — shaped in 1992. Their initial slab of warrior steel, the full-length The Cocaine Wars 1974-1989 got a while escaping . (2001), however the record was to be — because of its combination of thrash, power, and black-ish steel, aswell as its not subtle drug sources and Frazetta-esque cover — a mainstay in virtually any steel collector’s treasure upper body. By 2005, Crom got extended its lineup to five, and had been back the studio room to focus on record number two. Not really ones to wreck havoc on a successful formulation, Crom continuing to build an unwieldy, substantial steel sound, that was captured in every its glory for the critically well-received 2008 Underdogma discharge, Hot Sumerian Evenings.
