Powerflo Share “War Machine”

POWERFLO — vocalist Senen “Sen Dog” Reyes (Cypress Hill), vocalist/guitarist Billy Graziadei (Biohazard), bassist Christian Olde Wolbers (ex-Fear Factory), and drummer Fred Aching — are back. The hard rock supergroup will release their new album GORILLA WARFARE on November 1 via New Damage Records. Pre-order it here.

Today, they’ve dropped the electrified new song “War Machine.” Listen to the band’s latest banger, featuring guitarist Phil Demmel, here. Watch the lyric video here, as well.

“Sen, Christian, and I have been through war with our careers,” says Graziadei about the deeper meaning encased within the grooves and riffs. “Living and dying for the music we create has taken its toll, and yet, every morning, we wake up to do it all again. Live for something or die for nothing!”

POWERFLO combine the passionate, chaotic, and authentic urgency of a brand-new band with the unrivaled experience of its trailblazing members. All the members 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. 

“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.

Powerflo are energetic, pissed off, and built to last, with bite and hooks. 

The blistering second album, Gorilla Warfare, is a full-circle moment for the guys and the genre.

The groundbreaking Judgment Night soundtrack, released in 1993, was an early building block of the rap-metal mashups to come and featured both Cypress Hill and Biohazard. Sen appeared on Biohazard’s classic third album, State of the World Address (1994). Christian appears on Cypress Hill’s Skull & Bones (2000) and Stoned Raiders (2001) and performed as part of their live band many times. 

Powerflo’s self-titled debut arrived in 2017. Produced and recorded by Billy and mixed by Tue Madsen (Meshuggah, Dark Tranquility, Sick Of It All), the second album came together with even more confidence, ambition, and fearlessness. Gorilla Warfare cements Powerflo as a heavy hitter with a bright future and career, even as it brings its members full circle with a genre they helped pioneer. 

As Billy points out, “The three of us are survivors. We’ve experienced many great times and challenges. Powerflo is so enjoyable because we have a blast doing this band together.”
