Description: The first sample of brand new music by Chrome Waves is part of the eagerly awaited full length album due out later in the year. Under The Weight of a Billion Souls feels as weighty and brooding as its title implies. Both traditional and contemporary black metal factors sound fully captivating when they are combined so well by the band, and at the same time the track also appears to be delving into more atmospheric and alternative paths, with the shoegaze element really prominent.
