Chrome Corpse

About

Chrome Corpse (aka Chrome Corps) is an electronic body music band founded in 2011 in Seattle, WA by Michael Pinch (aka Michael F9000) and Peter Jobson (aka Peter Fracture). Chrome Corpse began recording in 2015 and released the “Body to Flesh” EP in 2017. Later the same year, Peter left the band, and debut album “Chrome Corpse” was released, which was mostly influenced by industrial and noise. In 2017, French vocalist and null split frontman Antoine Kerbérénès (aka Anton Hirnsturm), whom Michael met online, joined Chrome Corpse. In early 2018, they were in turn joined by live drummer James Shogren (aka Jimmy) and Night Terrors vocalist Enrique Otanez (aka Business Casual), thus completing the present studio line-up of Chrome Corpse. The band began performing live, with a fluctuating line-up constrained by geographic availability, and guest musicians are often brought onstage as well. Around this time, the band released their EP "Intimidation Tactics 353" which was mostly minimal EBM techno in a Nitzer Ebb and DAF style. 2019 saw the release of the "Gun Spit" EP, and the full length album “Anything that moves”, both of which saw the band incorporating oldschool EBM influenced by Front 242, A Split Second, Paranoid, and à;GRUMH…, along with some synth-pop and new beat influences. The band also performed in Europe for the first time to promote the release of "Anything That Moves". In 2020, Chrome Corpse released “Helmet Mounted Display”, an EP in which the band’s style further developed towards 90s acid house and Eurodance mixed with their EBM sound. A couple more new releases including a third full length album are currently under production to be released in 2021.
