FLOOD is a Metal band comprised of accomplished artists innovating forward thinking compositions with calculated, symphonic precision. Their melodically powerful music and vivid lyrics span the dystopian, apocalyptic, and socially relevant mindscape. Ripped Into Exile is FLOOD's 2nd record, packaged into an 8-panel digipak. Tourniquet co-founders Gary Lenaire and Guy Ritter lead the vocal and guitar waves of FLOOD. David Husvik, drummer of Extol, Absurd, and Twisted Into Form reaches new heights of dynamic feel and extreme thrash on Ripped Into Exile. Guitar virtuoso Joao Miguel melts faces in high decibels while bassist Anna Sentina provides low end sonic architecture for this sophomoric symphony. Starting at the beginning of time, Ripped Into Exile captures ancient images of creation, the Fall, prophecy and the apocalyptical apex of the work of Jesus in the past, present, and future. The mysterious struggle of temptation, sin, faith, God's judgment of the world and redemption of His people frame this Metal motif of the Good News (Gospel) of Jesus the Christ. For fans of Extol, Tourniquet, Slayer, Believer, and Deliverance!
