Grayceon is an atypical three-piece from San Francisco comprised of electric cello, guitar, drums, and vocals. Pulling together an extremely diverse range of musical influences and writing styles, Grayceon’s fresh sound defies the boundaries of the metal/rock/progressive genres. Screaming melodic lines over distinct guitar “chunk,” doom riffs, jazz chord progressions, intricate folk-like delicacies, and just about everything in between can be found in a single Grayceon track. The cello proficiency and the guitar finger picking style alone are unprecedented in heavy music. And although the vocals are sparse and the drumming unconventional, all elements are intertwined effortlessly to give the arrangements a fluid feel that may not be present in less able hands.
Grayceon is Jackie Perez Gratz (AmberAsylum // Giant Squid) - electric cello/vocals, Max Doyle (Walken) - guitar/vocals, and Zack Farwell (Walken) - drums. Jackie has also performed and recorded with luminaries such as Neurosis, Tribes of Neurot, Jarboe (Swans), Today is the Day, Steve Von Till, Ludicra, Asunder, Lost Goat, Matmos & Two Gallants.
