“Creed has an excellent backing band… experimental sci-punk masterpiece…Chrome is the perfect soundtrack for the apocalypse…definitely among the best albums I’ve heard in years.”

CONSEQUENCE OF SOUND, USA
Stream: Chrome’s Feel It Like A Scientist, their first album in 12 years. “Chrome demonstrate that even after nearly 40 years and countless lineup changes, their hunger and curiosity remain just as savage as when the project first began. For Feel It Like A Scientist, Creed recruited a new lineup of musicians, including singer Anne Dromeda, guitarist Lou Minatti, drummer Aleph Omega, bassists Lux Vibratus and Steve “Trash” Fishman, and synthesist Tommy Grenas. The collective spent the last two-plus years recording and writing all of the album’s lyrics and Creed included several lines originally written by the late Edge…”
Thugbrarian Review, USA
“Anne Dromeda adds an extra dimension to the songs, as she has a beautiful voice when she is singing, as well as a sinister edge when she brings the darkness.”
Heathen Harvest, USA
“Anne Dromeda provides ethereal backing vocals”

Le Canal Auditif, France
“A very successful album…especially the punk extraterrestrial propulsion of… ‘Lady Feline’, ‘Something In The Cloud’ and ‘Prophecy’.”

Uncut Magazine, UK
“There’s more thuggish rock action on ‘Feel It Like A Scientist’ but songs like ‘Unbreakable Fluoride Lithium Plastic’ are scabrous and overloaded as ever: psychedelia as torched landscapes and industrial accidents”
The New Noise Magazine, France (click images for full article translated)
“I love the two covers Monet made for this and ‘Half Machine from the Sun’. They’re inspired by Chrome’s past imagery, but more sexy, which is typical of her work, but were pure Chrome at the same time…On “Prophecy” we recorded Anne Dromeda singing in reverse throughout the song…the lyrics she wrote for “Prophecy” are a mixture of various conversations that we’ve had about chem-trails, Hopi prophecies, as well as some mutual frustration about the overall state of the planet.” —Helios Creed
Hadits Habits Blogspot: A Thalamic Approach
” ‘Prophecy’ may predict the end of the world, but not of Chrome! …demented choral overlays by Anne Dromeda that perfectly dement the song.”
http://hadits-habits.blogspot.com/2015/02/chrome-feel-it-like-scientist-2014.html
The Vinyl District, Graded on a Curve, UK
“Prophecy” settles into a galloping thud thick with distorted bass, swells of keys, and a dual guitar maul. The slow fadeout on Dromeda’s distant voice provides a nice touch…”Unbreakable Fluoride Lithium Plastic” sounds just a bit like young Pink Floyd if they’d chosen to Hail Satan, the singing recalling not Syd but John Lydon.”
Relix Magazine, USA
“…an hour-long avant-garde spectacle…”

The Quietus, UK
“It’s possibly the most welcome and fitting comeback album from a veteran avant-garde artist since Celtic Frost’s tumultuous Monotheist hit the racks in 2006…Decadent and deranged, yet possessed of a sleek, unearthly allure and refined for a still more confusing new age…” –The Quietus
“Monet Clark is a performance and video artist and I haven’t worked with someone with an art world background who also likes to rock since Damon [Edge]. Its rare in the rock world… She goes by Anne Dromeda in Chrome, because that name for her just downloaded into two other band members’ minds simultaneously after our last recording session. I think it was a sign”. —Helios Creed

WIRE Magazine, UK
“…the Chrome sound is so deformed by fantasies of cybernetic FX that it’s more about musicians surrendering classic rock chops to annihilating production work than faithfully replicating any kind of historical aesthetic… Chrome are still chewing up rock ‘n roll’s past to regurgitate a dystopian future”

“Anne Dromeda takes the lead vocal on noisy rocker “Unbreakable Fluoride Lithium Plastic” however deep you want to dig, Chrome will meet you on that level…”

Paraphilia Magazine, Third Time’s the Charm: A Digital Q&A with Acid Punk Pioneer, Helios Creed, USA
“We work so spontaneously in Chrome we don’t always remember what we’ve recorded and I’m having that situation now where my current backing vocalist Monet Clark, laid down actually a lead vocal track on our new album, that she just told me last night she can’t quite recall how it goes, because see she did it in one take on the fly. She made a masterpiece that day… She wrote the lyrics, while the band was laying down the bottom tracks. Then put her in the vocal booth and recorded her top track and she just went in and nailed it in one take. That is how to do it!” — Helios Creed
Paraphilia Magazine, CHROME: Feel It Like A Scientist
“…The sinister overtones of his grinding vox is countered by the helium-filled backing vocals on the bicker rock thud of ‘Lady Feline.’ The only other bands that could possibly pull off a track like this are Melvins and Butthole Surfers, but of course, Chrome were there first by quite some margin (and the latter have openly cited Chrome, not surprisingly, as an influence on their crazed take on the ‘rock’ sound)….spaced-out synth weirdness collides with frenetic percussion and gritty guitars on the robotix metal of ‘Something in the Clouds,’ which actually boasts a fair hook, too.”

Punk Updates, USA
“Single “Prophecy,” was remixed and partially recorded at the historic Capitol Studios C, in Hollywood, CA, with additional vocals by Anne Dromeda and guitar work by Helios Creed…The music for “Feel It Like A Scientist” is composed by Creed and the whole band, with lyrics by Creed, Anne Dromeda and Tommy Grenas, and features one track with lyrics by the late Damon Edge”.

‘Prophecy’ is the first single from the album & to call it a monster would be an understatement… The song ROCKS hard in space, sporting a catchy riff, killer blazing dual guitars, & haunting keys & backing vocals…”

“Prophecy’ is satisfying enough to remind you what you liked about industrial music in the first place”.
CVLT Nation, USA
“…the most thrilling brand of Chrome’s music since the passing of Damon Edge…captures the core of Chrome’s sound with all its rawness and experimentality – it’s all there with a touch of fresh ideas, like female background vocals.”

Freq Magazine, UK
“..this is an essential piece of music for the twenty-first century… ‘Lady Feline’— a big heavy groove number that smashes through the cosmic void and gives us an idea of what it would to be stuck in a William Gibson novel. ‘Something In The Cloud’ gives a Gary Numan -style keyboard lead over a wonderful forthright backing and the vocals are, of course, so suitably out there enough that they sound as if they are being beamed down from the space station. ‘Unbreakable Fluoride Lithium Plastic’ has a mega riff, and I mean the type that could destroy buildings with laser eyes. The vocals are almost punk-like as they scream at the sky…””

“Chrome captained by Helios Creed, with Tommy Grenas: keyboards-Aleph Omega: drums-Keith t.

Dunce Magazine, USA
“I really love how the record sounds with Anne Dromeda’s vocals on it, she’s got it. Without that touch it definitely would not be as great …she tops off the record with a cap of coolness… when she recorded ‘Unbreakable Fluoride Lithium Plastic’…she just went and did that in one take, it was incredible like watching a show…and her background vocals on other tracks…added a much needed female energy that completed the record, without that it would have been too male. We have a magical group.” —Helios Creed

Sentireascoltare, Italy
“Prophecy has stellar ominously dark tones in a new metal style… Lady Feline is a grunge android – with crazy wah-wah petal and a swirl of distorted background vocals… Solid guitar riffs are the basis of the experimental ‘’Unbreakable Fluoride Lithium Plastic’’, a sort of nervous breakdown-style free jazz from space around a single metal riff…”

Jersey Beat, USA
“Unbreakable Fluoride Lithium Plastic” is a pretty awesome one…”
http://www.jerseybeat.com/paulsilver.html
Broadway World Music, USA
“”Prophecy”…reinforces the classic Chrome approach. Over a distant recording of what could be the last words of Hassan-I Sabbah as channeled by William Burroughs, Chrome tear into backwards phasing and reverse tape strategies before an uncanny unveiling of a narcotic, stripped-down rockabilly performance by Creed. Lt reformulates rock via cut-up techniques and collage not as a hopeful nostalgia for the future (in the words of Brian Eno) but as an apocalyptic longing to bring the future to an end… Chrome’s organic/metallic dynamic remains Ballardian, fully eroticised.”Lady Feline” matches a sleazy Stooges style riff and a vocal filled with dark sexual vibrato with a production style that takes the illogical, exaggerated approach of David Bowie’s Raw Power mix and rethinks it as a deliberate experiment in tone science. Wailing wah-wah leads are pushed to the point of air raid sirens, and solos explode like depth charges. The title of “Something In The Cloud” suggests another attempt to waylay the future by second guessing it. It sounds more like a foreign country than the past, even as synth parts that match the remote emotional appeal of The Human League circa “Life Kills” instigate a connection with romantic memories of 1980s teenagedom. Think The Buggies’ 1979 single “Video Killed The Radio Star” restaged as a hit by bounty hunters from the future. “Unbreakable Fluoride Lithium Plastic” is a heavy metal love song to the structural possibilities of inorganic compounds… Chrome set the blueprint for a crude cyberpunk take on rock ‘n’ roll..” –WIRE Magazine
Seattle PI, USA
“Prophecy” is a monster, like the soundtrack to a ’60s sci-fi flick that was too frightening to be released… “Unbreakable Lithium” is science fiction gone awry, and combines an overwhelming feedback roar with the heaviest prog this side of Magma. ..it is a welcome event to hear the group still sounding so fresh and majestically strange today.”
Bad Sounds Magazine, Sweden
“their new single “Prophecy”… It’s an epic Sgt. Peppers meets Punk Rock track likened to classic Chrome, but with bigger production.”.

“Feel It Like A Scientist” has all the appeal of those tape-trading days while finding Creed and company (vocalist Anne Dromeda, guitarist Keith Thompson, bassists Lux Vibratus and Steve Fishman, synthesist Tommy Grenas and drummer Aleph Omega) moving onward and upward with style and class! “…there are numerous occasions through-out “Feel It Like A Scientist” that almost feel like singles… modern society is in desperate need of Chrome!”

“Feel It like a Scientist” is something of a contradiction.

“…Chrome again reformed and the band is now composed of Helios Creed and Anne Dromeda(vocals), Keith Thompson (guitar), Aleph Omega (drums), Lux Vibratus and Steve “Trash” Fishman (bass) and Tommy Greñas (synthesizers ). It is this line up of Chrome that is delivering the latest album, by this legendary group which has made experimentation its emblem.”
All Music, USA
Almost 40 years after they released their first album, Chrome thankfully still sound like interstellar oddballs armed with electric guitars and malfunctioning electronics, and 2014’s Feel It Like A Scientist is a remarkably effective evocation of the sound and style of Chrome’s late-’70s albums…This new edition…does have an aural fingerprint of its own — drummer Aleph Omega has a more organic sound than the late Damon Edge, and D.I.Y. technology has improved enough to give this album much cleaner surfaces and crisper production than the sometimes clanky tone of the band’s early work. But the collision of hard rock guitars (courtesy of leader Helios Creed) with non-melodic synth patterns, crashing drums, and various electronic sounds and distorted vocals will be lysergic manna for those who loved this band’s early work…it generates a palpable excitement that’s a powerful reminder that, in an increasingly eccentric world, Chrome is still as bracingly weird as ever…will put a demented grin on the face of longtime fans.”
