Being a vernacular term for long and foggy winters, it should come as no surprise that the band behind The Great Gray Funk seeks to capture that certain eeriness and darkness with its music. As the band emerged during times of pandemic-induced isolation in late fall of 2020, the name seemed doubly appropriate.
Over the next two years, the band made its first live appearances and recorded its debut album, to be released in 2023.
While carrying their influences on their sleeves, the band does not shy away from expanding their sonic horizon through constant experimentation. Doom-laden riffs, bittersweet melodies and in-your-face drumbeats are just as likely to be found alongside catchy hooks and intricate instrumentation, with the occasional cheeky guitar solo thrown in. Consequently, The Great Gray Funk’s music invites the audience to repeat listenings.
There is always something new to find and appreciate.
The Great Gray Funk is a dark rock / progressive 5 piece based in Vienna. The band seeks to capture that certain eeriness and darkness with its music.
Although they’re relatively new to the scene we’ve witnessed an intense live show of these very talented young musicians. Goosebumps guarantee in the vein of Chelsea Wolfe.
We teamed up and are proud to release their self-titled debut album later this year. The first single “ERITIS SICUT DEUS”! will be released on February, 10th.
