After a long anticipation of their new up coming album its finally here. Chrome Cabot have just finished the mastering of their debut album Rock Cuisine. I've been privilege enough to have a pre-release listen to the album, straight out of lead singer Ches Packs hands. Today I laid back on my bed and strapped on my head phones around my ears and soaked in what is a delicious Rock Cuisine. It was so tasty, I devoured every track like it was my last meal. At the end I wanted more. First off I just have to say that lead guitarist Jason Sheppard has got to be one of if not the best heavy metal guitarist in Newfoundland today, he rips through songs like Bottoms Up and Quite Moist with blazing riffs that will make your fingers bleed from just listening to them. From fast riffs to sick solos Jace proved his self on this album as a talent to be reckoned with. But "Snake" isn't the only talent that shines on this album, he is complimented by the steady deep base lines from Dave Pittman, the beginning of Aim To Please you can hear a funk bass line similar to that of Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers pouring out of the speakers. He and Jace makes the perfect combo where one only grows better and heightens the others sound. The heavy drum beat of Robbie Welcher can be found in each and every one of the albums tracks. He brings the power that every heavy metal band that brought to the table. You will have no problem banging your head as Robbie bangs the drums all over this album. Last but absolutely not least of the fab four band members, with charisma and stage presence that rivals that of David Lee Roth himself, is the one and only Ches Pack. With a voice that sounds that of the illegitimate love child of Brian Johnson and Paul Stanley. You can hear the influence of ACDC and Kiss all over this album. Pack brings the voice to the album full of talented musicians. He brings the classic classic rock voice. Today's music has no passion or thought put into it, but Rock Cuisine has passion poured all over it. You can tell these guys love what they are doing and it shows through each and every track. Their lyrics are cleaver and well thought out along with the music that fits nicely over the lyrics. I'm proud to have the first taste of the Rock Cuisine and its not a meal you'll get sick of. So buy this album, blare it all over Newfoundland out through car windows or dorm room doors. Make people hear it if they don't already know and spread the word of Chrome. Like I did, go home, put some Chrome to your dome, play it loud and play it often.
