Artist Biography For Kevorkian Death Cycle

Riverside California Situated On The Desert's Edge Is One Of The Least Habitable Places On The Fringe Of The Los Angeles Megalopolis. Perhaps It Is Appropriate That Such A Place Should Have Given Rise To A Number Of Industrial Bands Including Penal Colony Hate Dept. And Interzone. It Is Also Where Ryan Gribbin And Roger Jarvis Picked Up Their Keyboards And Their Keen Sense Of Social Consciousness And Created Kevorkian Death Cycle. Originally Working As Grid They Began Their Career As Crusaders For The Right To Die With Their Earliest Tapes Bearing Many Songs Rallying Around The Kevorkian Banner. Changing Their Name To Kevorkian Death Cycle The Name Is Politically Motivated -- Not Merely An Attempt At Shock The Band Released Their First Full Length CD On The Now Extinct Ras Dva Label Collection For Injection And Began To Appear On Numerous Compilations. Coupled With Nationwide Appearances Including A Successful 1997 Tour With Spahn Ranch And A Sold Out Appearance At CMJ's New York City Music Marathon The Underground Community Was Soon All Abuzz About KDC. Combining Social Issues With Throbbing Synthetics And Dance Floor Beats This Duo Appealed Both To The Body And To The Mind. In 1998 Kevorkian Death Cycle Signed To Metropolis Records And Issued Their Sophomore Release Dark Skies In The Fall. Still Keeping With The Darker Side Of Industrial KDC Added More Beats And Electro Attacks To Their Political Formula Creating An Astonishing Sounding Release. The Band Also Had The Opportunity To Appear In Concert With The Fathers Of The Genre Front 242 And Embarked On A Nationwide Tour Culminating A Series Of Dates With Front Line Assembly. Kevorkian Death Cycle Released Their Third CD In 1999 Entitled A O M And Embarked On A Two Month Tour Of North America Loosely Called The "Free Jack" Tour - Jack As In Dr. Jack Kevorkian. The Release Explored A More Electro Side Of KDC And Contained The Dance Floor Favorites "Death To The Flesh" "Pulse" And A Cover Of Frankie Goes To Hollywood's "Relax". The Highly Sought After Debut Collection For Injection Was Re-Issued In 2000 And A Re-Mix Single Of "Relax" Featuring Mixes By KDC Assemblage23 And Nikki Shifter As Well As A New Version Of "Kill For Christ" From The Debut Was Released In 2001.
