Interview: Jeff Scheel of Gravity Kills

More than two decades after its last album and over 10 years since its last live performance, industrial rock band Gravity Kills came back to life in 2023, playing a successful, sold-out show in its old St. Louis stomping grounds and releasing its self-titled debut album (1996) on vinyl for the first time. And that’s not all. The band members—singer Jeff Scheel, guitarist Matt Dudenhoeffer, drummer Kurt Kerns and keyboardist Doug Firley—have been in regular contact since then, discussing the prospect of creating the first new Gravity Kills music since the 2002 album “Superstarved.” It appears that more live shows are on the horizon, as well. Live Metal’s Greg Maki recently caught up with Scheel for a lengthy talk on the current state of Gravity Kills, touching on the recent show, the vinyl release (including plans for the band’s sophomore album, “Perversion,” released in 1998) and the early stages of long-awaited new music from the band.
