The idea that became Sky Gone Grey was a recurring thought tucked away for years. Sky Gone Grey is the studio project of Mike Vaughn (Dante's Closet, One Dying Breath). The idea began after Mike moved back to his hometown of Coos Bay, OR in February of 2006. Mike had been learning to use different recording software to record with and thought about ideas for circulating his music. He continued to work on his abilities throughout his time in One Dying Breath and picked up some tips while recording the album Son Of Seed. In 2010, after One Dying Breath split up, Mike started recording Sky Gone Grey's first demo. Done mostly acoustic, the demo was originally recorded to catalog his music.

In 2011, Mike released a 5 track version of the demo on several social media and music sites, and started collecting fans all over the world. Around that time, Mike started recording Sky Gone Grey's first full length album. The self titled debut, with 11 tracks, was released in November of 2013. Sky Gone Grey has been in rotation on several internet radio shows including: Deathrock Radio, Cathedral 13, Nightbreed Radio, and more. Sky Gone Grey sets a mood with each song and allows the listener to really feel the music. Life, death, insanity, broken hearts, and more are subtly and artfully conveyed through voice and instrument alike.
