Powerflo - Gorilla Warfare [CD]

Powerflo combines the passionate, chaotic, and authentic urgency of a brand-new band with the unrivaled experience of it's trailblazing members. Senen "Sen Dog" Reyes (Cypress Hill), Billy Graziadei (Biohazard), and Christian Olde Wolbers (ex-Fear Factory) are genre giants who shaped heavy music and hip-hop and continue to innovate in this band. Their collective creative fingerprints are all over subculture, including early mashups of hardcore and rap, metal and industrial, and more. - From ripping album opener "I'm A Killer" through brawling closer "Drinkin' Beer and Gettin' Loud," and all of the bangers in between (like "War Machine," 'F 'Em All Day," and "Isolation"), Gorilla Warfare, Powerflo's blistering second album, is a full circle moment for the guys and the genre. - Rounded out by drummer Fred Aching Rios, the quartet balances unrelenting energy with veteran mastery. Songs like "Resistance," "Where I Stay," and "Victim of Circumstance" from their 2017 self-titled debut demonstrated severe intensity, integrity, and determination. All these things are values shared and represented by the guys who lent their talents and spirits to classics like "How I Could Just Kill a Man," "Insane in the Brain," "Edgecrusher," "Archetype," "Punishment," and "Down for Life." - "Powerflo's mix of agit-rap, thrash metal, and punk attitude is a revelation to those who only know Sen Dog from his Cypress Hill joints," wrote long-running metal tastemaker Revolver. "His vocals are clear and sharp, and he drives the band's full-throttle crunch like a natural-born frontman." - The group supported their debut on tours with Body Count and P.O.D. and at major international festivals. Gorilla Warfare is even heavier than it's predecessor. The second full-length album from Powerflo is energetic, driving, and pissed off. It's a record that, like the band, was built to last.
