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…
