Alain Gemini, a keen music lover, discovers instruments and the guitar during teenage hood. As an adult, he quits his job to pay for the M.A.I, a training school for future artists. They both co-found their first official band together in 2006 joined by 2 other musicians. David will be singing and playing the rhythm guitar and Alain will be the lead guitarist.
Vicious Grace will officially be created and named in 2013.
After a few changes during the first year, the band will settle with Allan Bouffard, the bassist and Gilles Giordani, the drummer in 2015.
2014 “The Doors Inside”
They will be asked to sing in French, in vain. Vicious Grace is adamant they will carry on singing in English as it supports better the spirit of their music.
With a lack of inspiration from their French peers, they mention Gainsbourg & Noir Désir but claim their Anglo-Saxon influences from The Cure to the Red Hot Chilli Pepers, Slipknot or Faith No More.
Their First EP, which they produced themselves is launched in 2014 under the name “The Doors Inside”. It is soon played across Web radios and benefits from positive reviews in several Webzines and gets listed in the category of “American Rock” or “Californian Rock”.
Vicious Grace then starts playing across France, where their musical qualities, their punchy rhythms and precise melodies are acclaimed.
2015 “Wake Up“
After a series of concerts with artists such as Young Guns, Lodz, Magoa and so forth, Vicious Grace goes back to recording studios for a second EP.
As the desire of a new sound grew, the band gets Fabrice Boy on board (Young Cardinals…) and records 6 new titles with a slightly more Metal sound although true to their distinctive melodies.
The EP is named “Wake Up” is launched in 2015 and charms a larger audience. The boys are invited to talk about it on radio stations such as France Bleu and NRJ and find support amongst a wider public.
The quartet then registers to the Hard Rock Rising event and wins the PACA region final in Nice (06). One of their prizes is an opportunity to participate to the famous Prom’ Party in Nice during which the band performs in front of 10,000 people.
2017 : « All My Gods Are Monsters »
Conscious of their rising popularity, the band decides to launch new singles and in July 2016 starts a Crowdfunding campaign on Ulule and manages to have their album funded in 15 days.
Happy with their success, Vicious Grace starts recording in their South of France studio in September and uses Fabrice Boy once again for production and mixing. This album called “All my gods are monsters” will then be mastered in the US by Nick Zampiello (The Younger, Caspian, Cave In Converge, Isis, Sparrows…).
The Band signs at the beginning of the year with the label “Send The Wood/Season Of Mist“.
The 11 tracks reveal a new aspect of Vicious Grace but with their recognizable sound.
Their dark coloured, tormented and melancholic rock, backed-up by punchy and sharp rhythms, Vicious Grace navigates somewhere between alternative and metal rock, with anger and sensitivity holding hands.
