Gravity Kills

小簡(jiǎn)介
這支來自圣路易斯的四人樂隊(duì)確實(shí)是一支非常幸運(yùn)的樂隊(duì)。他們95年簽約于 大公司TVT旗下，第一張同名專輯就獲得了金唱片的銷量，隨后就與業(yè)界巨人SEX PISTOLS隨行演出，97年REMIX專輯《MANUFACTURED》又獲得了工業(yè)音樂界眾多名字 的鼎力相助，與之相伴的自然是他們知名度的直線上升。他們的作風(fēng)有點(diǎn)像英國(guó)的 BUSH，也就是緊隨潮流，而且力爭(zhēng)做的最好。
Similar in style and approach to such industrial metal outfits as Ministry and KMFDM, Gravity Kills followed in their predecessors path but ultimately failed to cause as big a splash. Guitarist Matt Dudenhoffer, keyboard player Douglas Firley, and bassist/drummer Kurt Kerns had been kicking around in various St. Louis, MO, bands since the mid-80s, but the chance to land a song on a compilation by KPNT-FM got them together to record. The prospective hitmakers had no vocalist, however, so Kerns called his cousin, Jeff Scheel, in Dallas in 1994. The industrial-techno group recorded an original composition, called Guilty, in three days, called themselves Gravity Kills, and made the compilation. Soonafter, Guilty became the stations most-requested song and gathered airplay around the U.S. and Canada, leading to the group signing a recording contract with Wax Trax!/TVT. Gravity Kills appeal was widened by appearances on the soundtracks for Mortal Kombat and Seven and in March of 1996, the quartet released a self-titled debut album, promoting the release by supporting the Sex Pistols on their reunion tour of America. 1997 saw the release of a remix collection, called Manipulated, and a year later, their second all-new studio album Perversion. Not much was heard from Gravity Kills for the next few years, which led to rumors that the group had broken up. Although Kerns left the group during this interim period, the breakup rumors ultimately proved to be false; after switching record labels (their new home is Sanctuary Records), Gravity Kills issued their fourth release, Superstarved, in March of 2002.
