Influenced by such industrial metal outfits as Ministry and KMFDM, American rock outfit Gravity Kills followed in their predecessors' path of muscular, caustic assaults, but ultimately without the same longevity. Making their full-length debut in 1996 with Gravity Kills, the band scored a radio hit with the track "Guilty" and became one of the hottest acts of the moment. Capitalizing on the buzz, they quickly turned out a remix set (Manipulated) and a second album (Perversion) in just as many years. They managed to churn out a third set, Superstarved, in 2002. Just a year later, they effectively disbanded, playing one-off shows over the following years while teasing a formal comeback.
