Black metal formation from Indianapolis, Chrome Waves, have inked contract with Salem Rose Music & M-Theory Audio for the release of their next studio record, the successor to 2021's The Rain Will Cleanse. To celebrate the newly sealed collaboration, the band presents new single and music video "Under The Weight Of A Billion Souls".

"In an age of 360 deals and ‘in perpetuity’ clauses, I wasn’t sure that Chrome Waves would have much interest in working with a label," explains guitarist Jeff Wilson. "With our overwhelming need for first-class international distribution and finding them to have an extremely artist-friendly approach, we were so lucky to find M-Theory Audio. Marco has an impeccable history in the metal community and we can’t wait to get to work with him and his team in 2023."




Statement from the bnad on the new single: "Under The Weight Of A Billion Souls" is the first taste of new music from next year’s anticipated full-length opus. Combining key elements of Chrome Waves' sound, you’ll be entranced by the traditional and modern black metal aspects, while venturing into more ambient and alternative moments that pull you in balancing the light and darkness of their sound."

“The first single has one particular theme and was written with it in mind - responsibility towards your fellow man," notes singer/guitarist James Benson. "Humanity as a whole and its greed and ability to hyper focus on only our small “tribe” and remain in echo chambers with social media while our neighbors suffer through turmoil in front of our blinded ways, and those with resources make no changes to help millions in poverty. It is a stark vision of our future collapse."
