Booze Broads and Beelzebub is good old fashioned biker metal with groovy melodic songs that are played with a swagger. It sounds like an album that was fun to record, a bunch of friends drinking beer and coming up with catchy riffs. The music is fast and loose, and although it would be easy, I won't make any biker chick comparison jokes here.
Eddie Guz is Chrome Division's vocalist, and he sings with a raspy voice that's perfect for the band's Motorhead influenced style. There's also some nice guitar work, as Ricky Black and Shagrath deliver good solos and thick riffs.
Chrome Division decided to do a cover song, and tackled ZZ Top's "Sharp Dressed Man." They speed up the tempo and increase the intensity, which gives it a different twist while still paying homage to the original. You can tell from the title that Beer Booze and Beelzebub is going to be a fun and irreverent album, and it'll make the perfect soundtrack for your next biker bash.
