Reviews
Kronos Mortus News (Nov ’21)
“Progressive extreme metal band Chronic Trigger releases a monstrous music video visualization for the group’s new, ominous single “Black Mental Epilepsy”! (…)This track proves that Chronic Trigger is a formation known for the dynamism in the distinguishable mixture of music that the members’ talents are generating, simultaneously mixing classic elements of hardcore with technical and progressive death metal to create an unique heavy sound landscape.” -KMN
BuzzSlayers (Aug ’22)
” A blistering new thrash and death metal single from Chronic Trigger absolutely melts your face with endless changes and trudging masterfully performed riffs, screaming and melodic edgy vocals to go along with a vast and closed fisted set of riffs and drumming that destroys all the way through.”
Salt Lake City Weekly (Aug ’23)
“Their staple brand of grind core mixed with black metal and melodic hardcore is extremely unique. In June,2023 they released the single “Word of Hate,” that explains the reality of the counterculture in SLC, a must listen for every metal fan, especially locals.” -Mark Gardner
