"A hint of King Crimson, a dash of Ved Buens Ende, a splash of Pelican and perhaps even a whiff of Dysrythmia, and you’re not even close. A point of departure is hard to find for Grayceon, yet the music sounds oddly familiar and not at all alien, even though the individual parts are challenging and ambitious. ...Sometimes bands are truly indescribable. Not because they are unique, but because their sincerity and passion set them apart, and makes them more than what a couple sentences strung together can say. Grayceon is one of those bands. With the post-rock trend absolutely exploding over the last few years, Grayceon steps in, and brings something new, something fresh and livens up the dull and predictable formulas that others seem to be stuck in, all the while, never really subscribing to one group, or set of theories." -METAL MANIACS 2007

Grayceon is Jackie Perez Gratz (Amber Asylum/Giant Squid) on electric cello and voice, Max Doyle (Walken) on guitar and voice, and Zack Farwell (Walken) on drums.
Grayceon pulls together an extremely diverse range of musical influences and writing styles to create a fresh sound that defies the boundaries of the metal/rock/progressive genres. Compared to Opeth, King Crimson, and Ved Buens Ende, not in sound but in 'feel', Grayceon embraces the hard-to-describe-them definition and expects no hard comparisons to be made any time soon.
Alternate low tuning on both cello and guitar, finger picked metal riffs, dreamy double vocals, and unpredictably impeccable drumming all meet to give Grayceon their unique sensibility.
WHAT THE PRESS IS SAYING ABOUT GRAYCEON'S SOPHOMORE RELEASE "THIS GRAND SHOW." Quotes are embedded with full review links when possible:
"...provocative, intense, and intricate piece of work..." Outburn Magazine
"somewhere in line with Apocolyptica, Neurosis, and neo-classical thrash of The Fucking Champs. Excellent, regardless what you call it." Terrorizer Magazine
"Grayceon’s potluck rock is captivating, smart and challenging... wondrously peculiar in all the right places." Decibel Magazine
"I’m not entirely sure if I can convey how truly beautiful parts of this album are, while still retaining a ‘metalness’ that fans of some of the bands above can still appreciate. Grayceon is absolutely f***ing fantastic." Digital Metal
"[Grayceon] has produced an album dripping with raw energy and talent. This LP is only four tracks long, but each is a massive, sprawling testament to finely honed musicality derived from a variety of influences. Keep your eye on Grayceon; their new album shows a level of potential absent in most debut efforts." Decoy Music
Local filmmakers, Kill That Cat, created this mini-movie to a song from the debut album "Song For You". Check it out! But, beware, it's not for the squeamish...
Live at Thee Parkside. This is from our recent tour kick-off show...
So lately I've been addicted to Sleep. Twenty-one and a half minutes of pure awesome. And there's just something about 'cello and blast beats that cannot be beaten. What a track.
