STORY OF EMACIATION
The concept of Emaciation was spawned in early 1996 . Missouri based avant garde rock/metal group Gikk , had started in the early 90's wanted to expand to music of a more extreme nature . Gikk members Kirby Ray, Stu The Immortal Faris, focused on more brutal back to basics songs mixed with modern forms of metal , to regain the magic power . Having grown up on every style of 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's metal hard rock, being a founding member of the band Sinister(US) as guitarist in 1985, Kirby Ray had realized this was his lifelong goal . Also to work on several concepts on aspects of the band from the lyrics to the live show . The songs deal with topics such as the paranormal, historical, & things we deal with a daily life .
