Freedom Gray was formed in August 2001 with Fahrettin Satgan(drums),Kivanc Sevinc(guitars),Koray Akkin(bass guitars),Abdurrahman Simsek(lead guitars) and Murat Akca(vocals) as "Unenlightened" in Izmir..
After a couple months,Fahrettin Satgan has decided to leave the band due to his familial reasons so in November 2001 Kemal Sozer(ex Medusa) has joined the band as drums..In July 2002, Kivanc Sevinc was permanently suspended because of his everlasting absence in the gang so they have decided to solve the second guitarist problems with Murat Akca and thereby the band has taken it’s present "four-piece" shape...
In 2003,right after joining to the comp-station-3 (Rock Station magazine) with the song named “unenlightened”, due to the copyright problems,the band has decided to change their name into “Freedom Gray”…
After four years of silence, finally they have made their first show in October 1 2005 (Izmir Rock Festival-2) in Izmir… Also in the late 2006, they have completed the general recordings of their first album called “Blackout Diary” wich contains 13 songs including “Unenlightened” too…
Today,the band is preparing to release their first album “Blackout Diary” in 2008 by "Raven Records"…
Generally, songs are based on the inner conflicts of both themselves & people around them,and also memories which are still full of pain and hatred…

Freedom Gray, Agustos 2001’de davulda Fahrettin Satgan, ritm gitarda Kivanc Sevinc, bas gitarda Koray Akkin, solo gitarda Abdurrahman Simsek ve vokallerde Murat Akca olmak uzere “Unenlightened” adiyla Izmir’de bir araya geldi.
Kuruluslarindan birkac ay sonra , Fahrettin Satgan ailevi nedenlerde gruptan ayrilma karari aldi ve yerine kisa bir sure once dagilan Ankarali thrash metal grubu Medusa’dan Kemal Sozer gecti. Temmuz 2002’de ise Kivanc Sevinc ; beste ve stüdyo calismalarina gereken ilgi ve ozveriyi gostermemesi gerekcesiyle kadrodan cikarildi. Grup icerisinde meydana gelen bu boslugun nasil doldurulacagi uzerine uzunca suren tartismalardan sonra, Murat Akca’nin gecmis grup calismalarindaki gitar/vokal deneyimleri goz onunde bulundurularak bu boslugun kendisi tarafindan doldurulmasina karar verildi.
2003 sonlarinda, rock station dergisinin comp-station vol.3 adiyla yayimladigi karma albume o donem grupla ayni adi tasiyan “Unenlightened” isimli parca ile katilmalarindan bir sure sonra yasanan telif hakki sorunlari uzerine grubun adi “Freedom Gray” olarak degistirildi.
Kuruluslarindan tam 4 yil sonra, 1 ekim 2005’de grup ilk kez seyirci karsisinda sahne aldi. (Izmir Rock Festival-2) Ayni zamanda 2006 yilinin ilerleyen donemlerinde , ”Blackout Diary” adini tasiyan ve icerisinde “Unenlightened” adli parcanin da yer aldigi 13 sarkilik bir albumun genel kayitlari tamamlandi.
Agirlikli olarak, hem kendi iclerinde yasadiklari kargasa ve sorunlardan hem de etraflarindaki yasamlardan esinlenmelerinin yani sira, bu albumde, iclerinde halen ofke ve aci barindiran gecmis deneyimlerden de cokca etkilenen grup ; “Blackout Diary” adini tasiyan ilk albümlerini 2008 yili icerisinde Ankara tabanli bir firma olan "Raven Records" etiketiyle tum rock-metal dinleyicileriyle paylasmaya hazirlaniyor.
