It was this lineup that entered the Panzer Studio in Oslo to record the band’s first album, Doomsday Rock ‘n Roll , on 4 December 2005. The album was produced by Björn Bergesen, who was chosen for his commitment to the band and the fact that he was a fan of them. Chrome Division announced that they had signed with Nuclear Blast on 1 February 2006. It was through Nuclear Blast that Doomsday Rock N’ Roll was released on 8 August 2006, in North America, and slightly earlier in Norway, where it entered the charts at number 31. It received numerous positive reviews, and some that were less positive. Jackie Smit, of Chronicles of Chaos , said “the band seemingly ends up having more [fun] than the listener”. Although the album was described as being unoriginal by reviewers, Live-Metal.net’s Jeff Maki claims that “what makes this album special is the high level of talent with which it is performed”. Adam Harrold, of Rock Something, finished his review with the thought that the album “might not be smartest record of 2006, but it is the sweatiest.” Chrome Division also recorded a music video for the song “Serial Killer” to publicise the album. The video was directed by Patric Ullaeus , a Swedish director.
