They recorded and released their first album, The Visitation, with members John Lambdin (guitar and bass), Mike Low (guitar/vocal). Mike Low left the band to be replaced by guitarist and vocalist Helios Creed, the band released Alien Soundtracks, the project of which started out as a soundtrack for a radical San Francisco strip show.
Chrome largely abandoned conventional rock compositions, instead employing cut up and collage techniques and heavily processed sound to create a kind of sci-fi punk sound. They made use of tape loops, samples, noisescapes, synthesizers and strange guitar sounds.
Following Alien Soundtracks, John Lambdin left Chrome, and Gary Spain gradually played less of an active role in the band, leaving a core of Helios Creed and Damon Edge to explore their own experiments with new members. The Creed/Edge collaboration lead to a number of more albums, including Half Machine Lip Moves (making best album lists by Wire Magazine and Julian Cope), Read Only Memory, Red Exposure, Blood On the Moon, 3rd from the Sun and No Humans Allowed.
In 1983 Edge moved to Paris with his wife, where he formed a new lineup of Chrome, releasing a number of albums without Helios Creed, starting with Into the Eyes of the Zombie King, until Edge's death in 1995. Helios Creed formed a new version of Chrome with both new and previous members, shortly after Edge's passing. The Helios-lead Chrome releasing their first album, Retro Transmission, in 1997, and have never officially broken up. They also toured from 1997 to 2001. The last released Chrome album was 2002's Angel of the Clouds, which was pieced together from unused tapes featuring Damon Edge.
Both Damon Edge and Helios Creed have a number of solo, non-Chrome titled albums.

Chrome Lyrics
Niggas thought I really wasn't gonna do it huh
So I did
Don't you know (T-chrome) been the most hated and debated
Underrated since I came out the crib
Look
And I ain't gotta explain myself noway
Eh?
And I say
For those who know
You scared T-chrome just gonna blow
You know
Said my lil nigga said chrome, you the reason why I'm on, King Kong, you inspired what I did
Swear if I could hear those words 100 times
I'd be ready to die, take the L like I'm B.I.G
How I ain't slip as I swerved and I skid on the road out the bricks
Guess my soul got grip
Coulda been the 4, 5, 6
Afterschool with lil Rich
Everyday just to chase scholarships
That shits called hustle
That shits called grinding
Thats why my pursuits always seem like perfect timing
And Banks was my OG
Inspired perfect rhyming
And the bars stayed wet
Cuz in the hood
There's no crying
So when I flow
It's Poseidon
They know rap?
Man, they lying
Before the link was in the bio I knew the science
But knew I was a star
Way before I knew Orion
Talkin knunkles on the table back when Pusha T was grindin
Wanna know the true definition of defiance
From 235th to burnin tree in Torrey Pines and
Stay grounded and connecting both sides like Verizon
And can't let the fam down cuz you the one they rely in
Like if I say I was straight with no pain I'll be lyin
Like ya niggas 1K or they mimes know the signs
Now it's T-overtime
For nights in Milan
Word to the sorbet and filet mignon
And thats kinda how it gotta be ya know
Now I say
The more you hate the more (Chrome) just gonna blow
Ya know
And I don't want to say too much
Fuck it
So I did
Don't you know (T-chrome) been the most hated and debated
Underrated since I came out the crib
Look
And I ain't gotta explain myself noway
Eh?
And I say
For those who know
You know
Said my lil nigga said chrome, you the reason why I'm on, King Kong, you inspired what I did
Swear if I could hear those words 100 times
I'd be ready to die, take the L like I'm B.I.G
How I ain't slip as I swerved and I skid on the road out the bricks
Guess my soul got grip
Coulda been the 4, 5, 6

Everyday just to chase scholarships

That shits called grinding
Thats why my pursuits always seem like perfect timing
