Originally self-released digitally and via Transylvanian Recordings on cassette on November 30, 2019 and on vinyl via Seeing Red Records on March 27, 2020, Chrome Ghost's 2nd album 'The Diving Bell' was a revelation for the Doom genre and continues to be heralded as a masterwork. This will be the first time the album will be re-pressed on vinyl since the original sold out during the pre-order stages in 2020.
"Chrome Ghost take the darkest, heaviest doom and pair it with haunting, beautiful, clean passages, and that’s what makes The Diving Bell so special. It’s a pathway through a bleak landscape, one that takes you to the depths of sorrow until your soul is released from this mortal coil and flies into the light."
- CVLT NATION - #6 Top 15 Doom Records of 2019
"...Chrome Ghost's most accomplished effort to date. A triumph."
- Doomed & Stoned, Innovator of the Year 2019 award
"As broodingly intense as it is ephemerally beautiful, this was undoubtedly one of the best, and most overlooked, records of 2019, and one which rightly deserves all the attention and love which you, as the listener, can give it."
- No Clean Singing
The Diving Bell is a journey through deep and troubled waters, suffocated by anxiety and mesmerized by shimmering rays of light. This is Chrome Ghost at their most cinematic, with each song traveling through multiple movements, tied together by motifs and repeating phrases that develop as the track progresses. The band effortlessly marry heavy and oppressive music with beautiful and introspective passages.
