CHAIN HOME is a Norwegian thrash/prog inspired metal band from the city of Fredrikstad.

The band started up in 2015, and released their first album “Instincts” in july 2018. The band started to earn recognition in 2017 after competing in UKM, leading to a spot in the Norwegian rock/metal festival “Tons of Rock” in Halden, Norway and “Månefestivalen” in their home city Fredrikstad.

The band’s lineup consists of founding members and cousins Amund Johansen (drums) and William Johansen (lead vocals/guitar), as well as Morten “Edvik” Haugen (backing vocals/guitar) and Fredrik Olsson (backing vocals/bass).

Their sound has been said to resemble early Metallica and Iron Maiden, as well as some pieces of industrial and prog.

The band went on a 5-year hiatus in 2018, but are as of 2023 officially back together and working on new material.
