Comment: Effectively you have zero references, someone who was in a band that released one EP, and then... that's it. You will need to find more than one reference to a quality reliable source that indicates why the individual is notable. MarcGarver (talk) 15:28, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Grayson Rupp known professionally as Pithead Gry, is an American musician, songwriter, and record producer from Detroit, Michigan. Pithead Gry has began his music career in 2021 in a thrash metal band called Shadow Theory. They released one EP before breaking up in 2022, when Rupp would begin working on solo music.^[1]

History

Shadow Theory was an American, Detroit, Michigan-based, metal band. The band and its members were a part of the Detroit music scene in the early 2020s. Members of the band formed a new band called Deathworx in late 2021. Shadow Theory recorded and released their only studio album in March 2021, entitled Twist.

Deathworx is an American nu metal band formed Detroit, Michigan in 2021 by vocalist and guitarist Grayson Rupp and drummer Noah Dombroski (son of Sponge and The Lucid singer Vinnie Dombroski). Rupp and Dombroski where previously in the metal band Shadow Theory. Deathworx's discography consists of one studio album and one single. Deathworx's most popular song was the only single for their debut album "Deathworx". The song was titled "Gasoline" and ended up being Deathworx's number one track.

The band was founded in August of 2021 in Detroit and started recording demos. In September 2021 Deathworx released a demo album on the Retaliator Records label, released on Decemeber 22, 2021. The album was recorded from September 1, 2021 to September 6, 2021. The album consisted of eight tracks that contained no lyrics. The album was copyrighted by Retaliator Records on December 30, 2021. The album was aborted in January 2021, the reason being that the album wasn't the style that they where looking for, they then went on to venture new genre ideas.

In 2022, Deathworx released a single under the title of "Darkness Within" The single was released on April 9, 2022. The single was a song to their demo EP that was self-titled, released on May 1, 2022, on Retaliator Records. The EP consisted of six tracks, trying out the death metal and nu metal genre put together, and that ended up being the Deathworx genre they where looking for. The EP was unreleased on June 10, 2022, and went on to record their debut self-titled album.

In March 2023 Deathworx released their debut album, Deathworx, also known as the self-titled album. The album was recorded in Rupp's record label from late 2022 to March 2023. Darkness Within, released by Deathworx on February 4, 2023, was originally released on April 9, 2022, and had a totally different sound in 2022, being more of a alternative metal sound. In 2023, Deathworx gave the nu metal sound. Agreed on the genre in late 2022, Rupp decided, and agreed with Dombroski to do more nu metal sound with drop B tuning for their debut.
