Hailing from Saint Louis, Missouri, Gravity Kills released their self-titled debut in 1996, propelled by the industrial-rock wave that followed Nine Inch Nails’ triumph. The band cultivates an efficient formula here: programmed beats, aggressive electronic layers and rock choruses cut out for radio and soundtrack compilations.
The single Guilty, featured on the Seven soundtrack, opened the airwaves and remains the group’s signature track. Blame and Enough show real craft but also a lack of strong identity in a then-saturated genre. Solid without being visionary, this debut stays an honest calling card from a teeming American industrial scene, in which Gravity Kills were a second-tier yet respectable player.
