User:The Gravestars

Formed in 2009, Gravestars are the local musical mortuary that puts the fun into funeral.

The Gravestars began under the name "The Kandy Kreeps" in late 2009. In March 2011 after much deliberation they decided to re-name as Gravestars. Up until now the Gravestars have 1 un released EP entitled ‘Welcome to our Nightmare’ and a self-released single entitled ‘Cemetery Romance‘. In late 2011 The Gravestars signed to Byrdsong Records for a re-release of Cemetery Romance and an EP and album to follow.

Since The Gravestars began there have been many changes: image wise, sound wise and more recently line-up changes. They decided to take a much darker approach to their music and image around the time they changed their name. They completely changed their on-stage image and took a darker route in music with heavier, more sinister sound than their original ‘campy Horror’ music.

In the July of 2011, due to members being unable to commit to the terms of the record contract with Byrdsong Records, the line-up had to under go some changes. Bassist AJ Malice and Drummer Dead-Lee left the group to pursue a more subtle take in music with their new band 'Decaying Mantis'. Frontman Raven Morgue and Lead Guitarist Necro Jo continued and signed the record contract with Byrdsongs. In September 2011 they teamed up with Izzy Strange on bass and Tripp in October 2011.
