Gravity Kills is an American industrial rock band from St. Louis, Missouri, formed in 1994. After releasing three albums, they disbanded in 2003, followed by reunions from 2005 to 2012, and another in 2023.
After a brief period on the regional scene, the band signed to TVT Records in late 1995. Gravity Kills first gained mainstream attention via their 1996 self-titled debut album, which contained the single "Guilty". "Guilty" peaked at No. 86 on the US Hot 100 Chart and at No. 79 on the UK Singles Chart. Ultimately, the Gravity Kills album sold approximately 500,000 copies. Their follow-up album in 1998, Perversion, was less successful than its predecessor, although "Falling" appeared on the US Mainstream Rock Chart. Gravity Kills switched to the Sanctuary Records label for their third and final album in 2002, Superstarved. Although the lead single "One Thing" was the band's highest position on the US Mainstream Rock Chart (No. 24), they disbanded in January 2003 due to a lack of label support and internal issues. They played various one-off shows between 2005 and 2012, followed by a second reunion in 2023.
Their music was described by one critic as "a blending of eerie industrial rock with a pop-infused melodic chorus and a bit of hard-core head banging." Overall, Gravity Kills' songs have been featured on soundtracks for a variety of media, such as Mortal Kombat, Se7en, Escape from L.A., and Kissing a Fool, in addition to video games such as the Test Drive franchise. Gravity Kills toured with a mixture of bands during their first run, such as Sex Pistols, Sevendust, Local H, Flaw, Sister Machine Gun, and Pigface.
