Biography
CHROMING ROSE are steeped in Germanic Metal traditions. The original line-up, forged in 1985, brought together vocalist 'Wotan', guitarist Matze Mende, bassist Harry Steiner and drummer Tino Mende. In 1987 'Wotan' was superseded by 'Orä'and the group stabilised for a couple of years before adding second guitarist S.C. Wuller in 1989 and ditched 'Orä' in favour of Gerd Salwski. In 1990 guitarist Matze Mende was the next casualty, departing after the release of the debut album 'Louis The XIV' for EMI, and his position was taken by Rikki Rieger.
The band toured as support to PINK CREAM 69 and U.D.O. during 1990 and opened for SAXON's German tour the following year; 1991 also seeing the emergence of sophomore effort 'Garden Of Eden' which, like the debut, was produced by Tommy Hansen. The 1992 'Pressure' album would be produced by Flemming Rasmussen.
In 1992 the band undertook its first headline tour of Japan prior to a double headliner of Germany with Swedes TREAT. A 1993 German headline tour saw Brazilians VIPER supporting. Ex-CHROMING ROSE guitarist Uwe Hormann would found TAROT'S MYST.
In 1994 the group unleashed the live album 'Artworks Live Now', debuting new vocalist Tom Reiners and a new label in Miez. 1996 gave birth to CHROMING ROSE's second album for Miez in 'New World'.
During late 2002 Gerd Salewski guested as backing vocalist on the 'Vengeance Descending' album from Swedish band CRYSTAL EYES.
