     SATURDAY 29TH MAY 2010
     
     CHROME HOOF
     
     
     
     CHROME HOOF were birthed as Brothers and Sisters in the middle eons, shrouded in mystery by billowing smoke, and blinding all bewildered onlookers with piercing shards of silvery light. Amongst the dry deserts of distant space, a 14ft ram with soul-shredding laser eyes made haste untoward the Stool of Time, crushing it with a steaming pile. And thus, time was frozen and many lands and oceans were forgotten. Rats knawed cables and spread disease, unaffected as they are by the powers of any egg-timer. Cloaked in chrome, compressing the synergies of the universe, an unquantifiable orchestra and their entourage liquidised into a molten broth and projected far into the future. As the space-time continuum was gradually stitched together, life began to spring, spawning whispers of the glitter-hoofed apocalypse of doomed euphoria. With dizzying thunder and the strength of the furnace of the cosmos, CHROME HOOF will burn you to ash and sniff you up with the pay cheque, but it's always worth considerable pain and untimely death for the best party in town!

     KERRANG - 4/5 K's - A Fractured endlessly interesting collision of disco shine and metallic grind.
     
     UNCUT - 4/5 - A fabulously bizarre mix of parliament sequins 'n' psychedelic pazzaz, seamlessly punctuated with prog-inspired passages of thunderous conceit and delusional grandeur...the album as a whole is magnificently marshalled and digitalised for immaculate 21st Century consumption.
