Eric Clayton (born December 1, 1967) is an American singer-songwriter and musician, best known for his work in the influential gothic symphonic metal group Saviour Machine which he formed with his brother Jeff Clayton in 1989. Eric Clayton is notable for his deep baritone operatic vocals, and he has done guest vocals on Ayreon's album ''The Human Equation'', Divinefire's album ''Glory Thy Name'', Narnia's album ''The Great Fall'', Wedding Party's album ''Anthems'', and Eva O's album ''Damnation (Ride the Madness)'' as well as Seventh Circle's album "The Struggle." Clayton also produced the two aforementioned albums as well as many Saviour Machine albums. In September 2015 he performed in The Human Equation Theater Experience by Ayreon in the Netherlands, reprising his role as "Reason" from the 2004 Ayreon-album.〔http://shadowfreaks.com/athete_en/?page_id=35〕 Clayton is known for his theatrical live performances and dark, peculiar appearances and masks.〔(Saviour Machine Interview mit Eric Clayton - Interview - vampster.com - Das Metal Online Musik Magazin im Internet )〕 ==Saviour Machine== (詳細はend times, Book of Revelation and prophecies about the biblical apocalypse. The band has also released a compilation album titled ''Synopsis'' (2003), the live albums ''Live in Deutschland 1995'' and ''Live in Deutschland 2002''. Both were also filmed and released on VHS and DVD format. The band was originally signed to Christian metal label Frontline Records but gothic metal in all its visual appearance was misunderstood in US Christian scenes, and eventually Saviour Machine began work with MCM Music and Massacre Records, labels based in Germany where the band was more popular than in US. In 1997 Saviour Machine performed at Wacken Open Air, the biggest exclusively metal music festival in the world. Eric Clayton has on and off been working on the last album in the ''Legend'' series, ''Legend Part III:II'', which should have been the last Saviour Machine album. The album was supposed to be released on July 7, 2007, but was postponed due to Clayton's esophageal condition called Barrett's Esophagus which was diagnosed in 2004 but eventually got worse.〔 Clayton has compiled ''The Collective Journals'' (1997–2009) released in 2010 available at the band website. Soon after performing a handful of unplugged Saviour Machine-shows in The Netherlands and Germany in 2013, Eric Clayton officially broke up the band, abandoned the unfinished Legend-project, and retired from the music business. He is still committed to playing at Ayreon's Theater Equation shows in Holland in September 2015. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eric Clayton」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
