It was not until mid-2004 that the band was properly formed. Shagrath and Lex Icon once again met up, and by this time Lex Icon had left Dimmu Borgir and founded The Kovenant . Shagrath had free time due to Dimmu Borgir taking a break after Ozzfest . Shagrath got in contact with bassist Björn Luna (of Ashes to Ashes) and invited him to join them. The trio formed the base of Chrome Project. Luna then contacted Eddie Guz (of The Carburetors) who joined as vocalist, after Jarle Bernhoft of Span had to decline. Guitarist Ricky Black was the final member to be drafted in. Shortly afterwards, Lex Icon was replaced with drummer Tony White of Minis Tirith, because he was missing a large number of practice sessions, which was holding the band back. Although Shagrath has said that he never meant for Chrome Division to be a side project, many critics have referred to it as such. Björn Luna has stated that he considers Chrome Division to be a “proper band” rather than a side project.
