Florian Gray is a dark rock pop band from Hamburg around namesake and front man Florian Gray.
Florian Gray started in 2013 as a solo artist with a changing live ensemble. The line-up has been constant since 2016, so Florian Gray could also be described as a hybrid of solo artist and band.
history
Under the stage name Florian Gray, the singer founded his first dark rock band called Eves End in 2006. In the following five years the debut album "Frozen Heart Philosophy" and the two EPs "Eden" and "Dead End Hope" were created. The band gained national fame and played national and international shows, including with bands and artists such as Tarja Turunen , Doro Pesch , Saltatio Mortis, Lacrimas Profundere and Poison Black.
In 2011 Florian Gray left Eves End and worked as a songwriter and singer for various projects and bands before starting to work on his own music.
In 2014 he started producing his first solo album "Gone" in collaboration with Björn Meindl. The album was co-produced, mixed and mastered by Chris Harms (Lord of the Lost) and Benjamin Lawrence at Chameleon Studio Hamburg.
At the beginning of 2015 Florian Gray signed a record deal with Echozone / BOB MEDIA and "Gone" will be released in stores on May 29, 2015. In the same year Florian Gray accompanied Lord of the Lost on their "A Night To Remember" tour.
At the end of the year they went on an acoustic tour again - under the name "Rock meets Silence", this time together with Rob Vitacca and Clea Clemens from Lacrimas Profundere.
With Eyes Shut Tight and Hell Boulevard, the band went on the "A Neight in Hell" tour together in 2017. The concert at ClubCANN in Stuttgart was filmed for local television.
In June 2017, "The End", the third single from the album "Gone", was released as a strictly limited physical "Fan Edition" EP including a video clip and an unpublished demo version of the title track.
In November 2017, work on the new album "RITUS", which was released on May 18, 2018, began under the direction of Hilton Theissen (Wide Noise Studios).
At the beginning of autumn 2018, Florian Gray accompanied Stoneman on their “Geil und Elektrom” tour across Germany.
