Biography

Ryan Gribbin and Roger Jarvis have been honing their personal industrial dance sounds since the mid-'90s, plugging the synth-beats of their industrial peers (Penal Colony, Interzone) in order to craft their own band, politically tagged Kevorkian Death Cycle.

They released their debut Collection for Injection on the now defunct Ras Dva and built a name for themselves during a 1997 tour thanks to their pinch-hitting mover and shaker attitude while delivering their own brash darkwave beats. In 1998, the duo inked a deal with Metropolis Records and released Dark Sides, which was followed by show dates with Front 242 and Front Line Assembly. A+O(M) was issued a year later and featured a retooled version of Frankie Goes to Hollywood's club/dance favorite "Relax." Metropolis reissued Collection for Injection in fall 2000. ~ MacKenzie Wilson, All Music Guide

Kevorkian Death Cycle is an electro-industrial band from Riverside, California, USA.

The band was originally named Grid and later changed their name to the politically motivated Kevorkian Death Cycle. The band released its first album, Collection for Injection, on the Ras Dva label. After a 1997 tour with Spahn Ranch, they became popular with the underground community. The band moved to the Metropolis label in 1998 and in the fall released their second album Dark Skies. They later played with Front 242 and went on tour with Front Line Assembly.

In 1999, they released their third album, A+0(M). This album contained a cover of Frankie Goes to Hollywood's "Relax". They also went on their two-month "Free Jack" tour of North America. ("Jack" here refers to Jack Kevorkian.)

Collection for Injection was re-issued in 2000, and a re-mix single of their cover of "Relax" was released in 2001.

As a side project, in the spring of 2006, Roger Jarvis hooked up with Taury Goforth from KiLLSWiTCH to form an Industrial/EBM/IDM band called HexRx.
