Chrome Shift

In January 1999 Otto Schütt (guitar) and Jens Christian Nielsen(bass) decided to form a band, that was to play original compositions inspired by the progressive metal-scene. Soon they teamed up with piano player Jakob Paulsen and drummer Poul Terkildsen and rehearsing began. The four musicians played a year while looking for the perfect singer. At last they found Rasmus Bak and rehearsed only once with him before Chrome Shift in February 2000 recorded a demo-CD in Aabenraa-Studios in Denmark, with the famous danish producer Jacob Hansen behind the mixer. In the spring of 2002 Chrome Shift recorded "Ripples In Time". Soon after that, the band got a manager and later on Chrome Shift signed a record-deal with DVS Records. Chrome Shift is a progressive rock/metal band and their music contains elements of King's X, Pain Of Salvation and Dream Theater. The band wants to play music for the body and soul while delivering a well-played live show. The name Chrome Shift origins from a title of a Nielsen/Schütt piece. Once trying to name the piece, Otto Schütt remembered a strange title ("The Chrome Shift") he once wrote down on a piece of paper.
