Gravity Kills is the debut studio album by American industrial rock band Gravity Kills. It was released in 1996 on TVT Records. The album sold roughly 500,000 copies.

The first song was titled "Take" on the promo version of the album. It was renamed "Forward" just before the album was released.[citation needed]

The song "Blame" uses a sample from the song "Illusion", composed by the Japanese group Geinoh Yamashirogumi for the highly influential 1988 anime movie Akira.[citation needed]
