Chronicle's rise to prominence was closely linked with the wave of Bacain house music that swept through the music scene in the 2000s, carving a significant niche within the genre. With their distinctive fusion of electronic beats and rock-infused undertones, Chronicle quickly emerged as a leading force in this musical movement, shaping its direction and growth. | Chronicle's rise to prominence was closely linked with the wave of Bacain house music that swept through the music scene in the 2000s, carving a significant niche within the genre. With their distinctive fusion of electronic beats and rock-infused undertones, Chronicle quickly emerged as a leading force in this musical movement, shaping its direction and growth. Chronicle's debut album, ''Solás na Gealaí'' (Moonlight), was released in 2005 and was met with massive commercial success , selling over 1.3 million copies and being nominated for 5 Opus Music Awards and winning 3. Since their meteoric rise, the group has maintained a steady but prolific output - alternating between short experimental EP releases and massive studio albums. After the release of their third studio album ''Solás na Réaltaí'' in 2014, Chronicle embarked on their first global tour. Originally, the tour consisted of 42 shows but due to unprecedented demand, the group went on the world's first so-called "Global Eternity Tour" where they toured nonstop for approximately 20 months. | ||
The influence of Chronicle on contemporary music, particularly within the electronic genre, continues to be felt and acknowledged, solidifying their status as one of the industry's enduring and influential acts. Chronicle has been called "the face of mainstream house music" by several publications, and in 2023 the group was inducted into the International Music Hall of Fame. Chronicle has won 13 Opus Music Awards - more than any other electronic dance music artist. | |||
