Gravity Euphonic is an industrial metal/industrial rock band from Fort Worth, Texas.[1]

History

[edit]

Gravity Euphonic is Eric Hunter, Jamie French and Orion Quest. Eric Hunter started making music in 1995 with vocalist, Justin McKimmey.[2] In 2005, Gravity Euphonic was born and their project evolved into the industrial rock/industrial metal driven sound that can be heard today. The band's sound includes heavy orchestration, distorted synthesizers, electronic drums and electric guitar.

In 2006, several line-up changes took place as the band recorded the Secret EP. McKimmey left the band and was replaced with vocalist/multi-instrumentalist, Jamie French. Upon the EP's release, one reviewer described the album as a "new and exciting revival of electronica or industrial pop music",[3] while another pointed out the questionably over-produced sound of the album, asking the question, "should I be giggling or dancing?"[4]

Following the short tour that accompanied Secret, McKimmey returned to the band as vocalist and Gravity Euphonic released their full-length album, Sunlight Kills in 2007.[5] The album, described as "a solid collection of energetic dance mixes and hard driving industrial beats"[6] was followed up with a second tour of the east coast of the US.[5]

In late 2008, the band announced that they had signed to the independent music label, Radio-Active-Music.[7] Shortly afterwards in April, 2009, Gravity Euphonic announced Jamie French's return to the band through the first installment of their Future News from the Future News video series.[8] The band would continue to use the Future News videos to announce news for upcoming tour dates the upcoming self-titled record, Gravity Euphonic, which would be released in September of the same year.[9]

The album, Gravity Euphonic was described by the band's label as "laid-back angst-laden industrial rock".[9] The reviewers disagreed however, and called the album "solidly awesome without any pretence"[10] while another said that Gravity Euphonic "lends an animalistic primevalness to what is usually a more refined and technological genre".[11]
