From 1989 to 1994 Chroming Rose caused a sensation with three international successful CDs, released by EMI, Louis XIV, Garden of Eden, Pressure. The result were great live-tours through Europe and even Japan and the United States. The band played together with well known acts like Gotthard, Mr. Big, Saxon, Extreme & White Lion.
The band toured as support to Pink Cream 69 and U.D.O. during 1990 and opened for Saxon's German tour the following year; 1991 also seeing the emergence of sophomore effort Garden Of Eden which, like the debut, was produced by Tommy Hansen. The 1992 Pressure album would be produced by Flemming 'Razz' Rasmussen.
In 1992 the band undertook its first headline tour of Japan prior to a double headliner of Germany with Swedes Treat. A 1993 German headline tour saw Brazilians Viper supporting. Ex-Chroming Rose's guitarist Uwe Hormann would found Tarot'S Myst.
With the new singer Tom Reiners a new age began:
In 1994 the group unleashed the live album Artworks Live Now, debuting new vocalist Tom Reiners and a new label in Miez Records, which was only made and dedicated for the fans. 1996 gave birth to Chroming Rose's second album for Miez in New World.
This selfproduced "tough and mighty edged piece of a rock-album" was no longer German speedmetal. But also it expressed the melodic power and individuality of Chroming Rose itself.
Because of this developement The CD got quite different reviews from both press and audience. But foreign countries reviewed New World unprejudiced: So the CD was released by JVC in Japan and charted at once. The album even was licensed in the U.S., where the resonances toped all expectations. The live-activities of the band in Eastern Europe caused sensations. New World led many reader charts and was "on the air" for several months.
The result of the large European live-tour with more than 80 shows and uncountable different promotional activities (self-produced video clip, unplugged-sessions in many music stores and radio stations, etc.) was a constantly growing crowd of fans. Because of these continuous efforts, a cooperation with the international distributor ZYX-Music was realized.
The change was executed, the basis for the future fixed.
So Insight is the direct and honest result of the consequent work of Chroming Rose.
Simultaneous to the CD Insight the band presents the strictly limited edition The Gift. It contains Insight and also the special acoustic-EP Private. It shows another side of Chroming Rose, which more than underlines the many sidedness of the band. Animated by a successful acoustic-tour, Chroming Rose decided to release this CD to proof that rock music can be personal, private and familiar, too.
The band disbanded later, during the year 1999.
During late 2002 Gerd Salewski guested as backing vocalist on the 'Vengeance Descending' album from Swedish band Crystal Eyes.
Pain
Chroming Rose Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
what you see
what you need
who is the one to fall
who can you be
tell me baby
go your way
where are you now in me
who can you be now
take away the pain
and my feeling's high
take away the shame
in an open sky
wide open sky
tell me baby
what you do
it's more and more in all and I can have a little
will you be mine tonight
who can you be now
take away the pain
in an open sky
take away the blame
I don't know why
you take away the pain
my feeling's high
take away the shame
in an open sky
no more
no more
so why do we cry?
The lyrics of Chroming Rose's song Pain depict a person who is seeking answers from their partner. The person wants to know what their partner sees and needs, who will be the one to fall, and who they can be. The person is curious about their partner's actions and what they are doing. They want to know if their partner will be with them that night, and who they really are.
The chorus of the song talks about taking away the pain and shame, and being free in an open sky. The person wants to relieve their pain and shame and feel free. They want to be able to see the wide open sky and not be restricted by their emotions. The person is looking for a release from their pain and wants to feel high.
The last line of the song, "no more, no more, so why do we cry?" suggests that even though the person wants to be free from their pain and shame, they are still crying. This may indicate that the person is still struggling with their emotions and are unable to completely let go and move on.
Overall, "Pain" is a song about seeking answers and wanting to be free from emotional pain and shame.

This is an 80s thrash/power metal outfit out of Germany, they did this one off album I guess either to mix it up a little, or trying to be commercially noticed, it failed, and being a fan of their normal stuff, it took me literally years to accept and enjoy this album for what it is, as they rocked so hard playing their regular style, this song is really a haunting mind bending ballad, I absolutely love it and truly is one of the most brilliant and different songs I e ever heard from any band of any genre ever, this singer was only featured on this album and the album prior to this called New World, which was their only power heavy metal release with him singing, their original singer was also just fucking killer, I believe I have something on here with the band normal music style, very tight outfit who for whatever reason just never caught on like they should have, I suggest if u like good killer heavy metal, check them out, their first 2 discs are thrash, they begin to mix it up on the album Pressure, my favorite of there's, they are all very good, but pretty obscure in the states, probably easier to obtain in Europe, and I know easy to find in Japan!
