Chromium… started out as nothing more then a studio project by Jared Gunston & Matthew Engelbrecht. They decided to get together and write some material just for the fun of it in Studio. Jared bringing the “Modern Metalcore” into the picture and Matt bringing the “Old School Thrash” combined their influences and abilities to create was is now known as Chromium. It was never seen to be taken as far as it’s come today, but the dream was always behind it.

After getting a lot of interest for a track called “Set Me Free” which was sent out as a free track on the internet the band caught the interest of Johannesburg based record label ALTER EGO that immediately saw the potential of the band.

November 2006, CHROMIUM relocates to Johannesburg. In this time they also received an Endorsement from Hughes & Kettner (One of the best amplification brands of all time)

During 2007, Chromium relocate to Johannesburg, doing over 100 shows that year alone, and also getting new sponsors/endorses on board. Such as: “Music Connection”, “Dean Guitars South Africa” and “Jagermeister”

They’ve been all over the country including various shows in Port Elizabeth, Grahamstown, East London, Pietermaritzburg, Durban, Cape Town & Pretoria, also including their new home town Johannesburg.

Some highlights include: “Nightfall Festival, featuring Blind Guardian”; Ramfest (Cape Town), DoorStock, various Zeplins metal fests (Pretoria), Seasons Wither Rock Festival in Johannesburg. Performing live on GoRock (On DSTV) and releasing 2 music videos.
