Gerry Owens is a multi instrumentalist, composer, producer and vocalist based in Ireland. Owens\u2019 musical career started when was signed to Chris Blackwell\u2019s label \u2018Palm Pictures\u2019 with Dublin band \u2018Skindive<\/span><\/a>\u2018. He composed and co-produced Skindive\u2019s Debut Album \u2018Skindive<\/span><\/a>\u2018. During this time Skindive had a Grammy track placement, an MTV Music Awards track placement and music placed in Anime classic \u2018Blood The Last Vampire\u2019, and various TV shows around the world. Post Skindive, Gerry wrote and produced the \u2019Agents Of Empire\u2019 and \u2018Rise of the Reptile King\u2018 albums for his Industrial Alt Rock project \u2018Lluther<\/span><\/a>\u2019. Lluther toured extensively in Europe and the US between 2006 and 2012, during which time, Owens signed a worldwide publishing deal with EMI (Sony ATV) and is now self published.<\/span><\/p>\n He\u2019s worked alongside and learned from some of the finest talents in the industry, people such as Dave \u2018Rave\u2019 Ogilvie (Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson), Danny Saber (U2, Happy Mondays), Chris Blackwell (U2, Bob Marley, PJ Harvey, The Cranberries), Nick Ingman (Oasis, Annie Lennox, Bj\u00f6rk, David Bowie), Alan Branch (Sinead O\u2019Connor, Jeff Beck), Adrian Sherwood (NIN, Ministry, On-U Sound System) and many more\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n In 2012, after a 10 month US tour with Lluther, he entered a period of isolation that would last for 7 years. \u201cI was burned out, and I needed to escape, so Eliza and I moved to a cottage on a mountain in Connemara in the west of Ireland.<\/span><\/p>\n Owens\u2019 music is often delivered in a visual\/narrative\/cinematic style, which has infused his music throughout his career. This style brought him to the next step in his career when after being approached to produce music for movie trailers, he went on to deliver cues for Hollywood Blockbusters such as \u2018Thor The Dark World\u2019, \u2018The Edge Of Tomorrow\u2019, \u2018San Andreas\u2019, \u2018Mission Impossible \u2013 Rogue Nation\u2019, \u2018The Lone Ranger\u2019 and \u2018Tomorrowland\u2019 amongst others.<\/span><\/p>\n In 2020, Owens returned with two instrumental albums \u2018Waiting for April\u2019, followed by \u2019The Remnants\u2019, both of which combined acoustic instrumentation and electronically manipulated recordings in a dark and brooding style. \u201cThey came at a time when I had to confront my past, and where one period of my life was ending and another beginning\u201d. The Remnants was heavily inspired by a two month stay in the home of American Poet (and Father in Law) Robert Grey. \u201cThe two months I spent with Robert were wildly creative for me. His detailed, and often harrowing accounts of his family history and ancestors set off a creative torrent. Those albums gave me the voice I needed at the time and allowed me the creative space I needed to move back into album work.<\/span><\/p>\n Owens started recording music for his new project \u2018ZKULLZ\u2019 in 2019 and in 2020, just before recording the vocal parts, he was asked to produce a dark cover version of Love is a Battlefield for Nicole B\u00f6hm\u2019s Seelenw\u00e4chter Chronicles (Die Chroniken Der Seelenw\u00e4chter). \u201cWorking on the \u2018Battlefield\u2019 cover changed the trajectory for Zkullz. It had a new energy to it, and opened up the opportunity for ZKULLZ to be\u00a0 <\/span>a more creative platform to work from.<\/span><\/p>\n Eliza Grey is a vocalist and keyboard player from Charlotte, North Carolina. Gerry first met vocalist and keyboard player Eliza in Savannah, Georgia in 2011, when Her band \u2018Chelsea Daggers\u2019 played with Lluther, who were then on a 10 month US tour. They\u2019ve been together since, but until \u2018Love is a Battlefield\u2019 had never sung together. \u201cWe\u2019d wanted to avoid the cliche, but Love is a Battlefield required both male and female vocals, so it provided a great opportunity to finally sing together\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”IMAGES” font_size=”65″ font_family=”Lato” font_weight=”700″ tag=”h1″][vc_gallery type=”masonry” slides_per_view=”4″ onclick=”img_link_large” images=”11114,11113,11115,11112,11107,11106,11110,11109,11108″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”EPK HIGH-REZ MEDIA + BIO” font_size=”65″ font_family=”Lato” font_weight=”700″ tag=”h1″][vc_button title=”EPK DOWNLOAD” size=”lg” hover_effect=”opacity” i_icon_elegant-icons=”ei-download” font_weight=”400″ add_icon=”true” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dropbox.com%2Fs%2F3yhajjjeutjww0o%2FZKULLZ%2520EPK.zip%3Fdl%3D0|||”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [vc_row][vc_column content_type=”block-media” content_placement=”middle” shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″][vc_custom_heading text=”About \/ EPK” font_size=”65″ font_family=”Lato” font_weight=”700″ tag=”h1″ css=”.vc_custom_1632229743755{margin-bottom: -20px !important;}”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][wvc_team_member img_size=”600×600″ overlay_opacity=”1″ title_font_size=”24″ show_socials=”true” image_id=”11115″ name=”Gerry Owens” role=”Songwriter, Producer, Vocals” facebook=”https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/GerryOwensMusic\/” twitter=”https:\/\/www.twitter.com\/GerryOwens” instagram=”https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/GerryOwensMusic\/” spotify=”http:\/\/open.spotify.com\/artist\/2qevRyiGt6QTujDpLDUEGE”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][wvc_team_member img_size=”600×600″ overlay_opacity=”1″ title_font_size=”24″ show_socials=”true” image_id=”11112″ name=”Eliza Grey” role=”Vocals” facebook=”https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/eliza.grey.33\/” instagram=”https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/elizagreyofficial” spotify=”http:\/\/open.spotify.com\/artist\/2qevRyiGt6QTujDpLDUEGE”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row container_width=”boxed” equal_height=”” shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”BIO” font_size=”65″ font_family=”Lato” font_weight=”700″ tag=”h1″][vc_column_text] Gerry Owens is…<\/p>\n
