Album Notes

GRIGORI -(gri gore E) 3
The name relates to a race of fallen angels.

The concept of live and let live died for the female fronted Metal Industrial artists GRIGORI 3, who have showed absolutely no mercy since their emergence in the Chicago scene in 2003. GRIGORI 3 has been enchanting audiences with some of the most powerful mind crunching music in the country.

The band credits its strength to its ability to blend the diverse influences each member brings to their sound. Where other groups simply write songs, GRIGORI 3 composes and then delivers intensely melodic yet energetic riffs and melodies, encapsulated in a show often described as amazing.

In 2003 the band crossed lines breaking into the live scene playing various shows throughout the Midwest, performing and setting dates with some of thier favorites including national acts- HANZEL & GRETYL, BILE, GENITORTURERS, DOPE, PITBULL DAY CARE ,SLICK IDIOT, DRYKILL LOGIC, MUSHROOMHEAD.

GRIGORI 3 has recently gained selective national press throughout the underground music scene including Gothic Beauty Magazine, SWAG Magazine, Dark Realms Magazine, MK Magazine and Outburn as well as numerous ezines and online articles. The band has crossed over into club rotation as well and featured at various clubs nationwide including Chicago's own-Double Door,ElboRoom, Oasis 160, Indianapolis' Emerson Theatre, Madison's Club Inferno and Philadelphia's favorites The Ceremony and Antiquity. GRIGORI 3 has been added to vast number of radio and college/internet stations world wide including and has begun receiving airplay on Chicago's own REBEL RADIO,94.7 THE ZONE, &am p; Q101, Hollywood's Gothic Radio, Panama's Siete Gatos, and Germany's Black Channel and Argentina's Radio Argentina.

GRIGORI 3 are in the process of following up their debut independent EP "Megotholis" which premiered the club hit single "Awakening", which has helped the band gain industry attention worldwide."Awakening" is now featured on Dark Future Music's latest compilation release, "The Best of Gothic Radio,Vol.1" and can be found at Hot Topics, Wharehouse Music and various record chains throughout the country. The upcoming release "EXILE" will premiere in the fall of 2006 and will include brand new GRIGORI 3 music as well as some established favorites .

The band's latest club hit "DEFENDE" will be featured on the upcoming underground release and soundtrack from Resurrection M. Pictures entitled "TRISTE EDAD," which will be showcased throughout the film festivals circuit in summer 2005. The hard hitting band has a few select shows to finish out their 2005 schedule. GOTHICFEST (September 2005) and Mushroom Head (December 2005).

GRIGORI 3 is featured on Latex Records upcoming compilation release "Ancient Times; Modern Music /Primal River Valley" and TRUE PLAYER ENTERTAINMENT'S compilation release "FRIENDS & FAMILY" (TPE).

surprisenly heavy

This is a cult fav in the Chicago area, and they've played with some of the most brutal acts in the business and the most complex -- to be able to share a stage with Mushroomhead and the next year with Sonata Artica is a testament for this young act. They are heary with the guitars and the thing that will shock you the most is how the keyboards are done. I've been friends with the band for a few years now and I remember when they had their demos. I've even managed to get SHADOWS played at my class reunion. Started by Gwen Bartolini and Ray they've set out to do industrial the way it was meant to be in Chicago. Rooted in Lacuna Coil and Nightwish, then maybe some Fear Factory and Rush for good measure. They did something new with Industrial giving it a progressive metal vocal. Gwen is the only vocalist who did this so far. I've seen them rise to where they are and I've shared the bill with them on both GOTHICFEST billings. they got a power to them that if Ray actually did the solos it would make them one band that could even match SAVATAGE in the tenacity. SHADOWS is the track that can actually get a mosh pit going if given the right crowd , and Silently Breeding I joked to Gwen saying "this must be something you have to get to M. Night Shamalan." I am thinking the film Unbreakable when I see this one. An industrial act who is surprisenly rooted in thrash/speed metal because Ray cites those influences with his guitar work.

This is a wonderful, powerful album. The music and the lyrics strike chords within me, and Gwen's voice is beautiful. I like all of it, and I especially enjoy The System, Feast, and Silently Breeding. I eagerly look forward to more music from Grigori 3.
