Powerflo, the brand-new metal/hip-hop collective, featuring members of Biohazard, Cypress Hill, ex-Fear Factory, Downset and Worst, have just revealed the second video/track from their forthcoming self-titled debut; “Victim Of Circumstance” has its worldwide premiere today. The video is directed by Powerflo’s Billy Graziadei. Of the song, Powerflo’s Sen Dog explains the inspiration: “I wrote the song after watching a few episodes of one of my favorite TV shows, “The First 48,” which is a show about people getting caught up in street life and eventually getting twisted up by the Feds or local law enforcement. This show depicts how fucked up most of the kids in America’s inner cities got it…the loss of innocent life along with outright cold-blooded murderers who have chosen to kill at will. The result of their offenses affects not just their victim’s family but whole communities.”

Powerflo's forthcoming self-titled debut album is due out June 23rd via New Damage Records. To pre-order the album via iTunes, please click here; those who pre-order the album digitally will receive "Resistance" as an instant grat track.

Melding hip-hop, metal, punk, and rock into a potent offering, Powerflo lives up to its name. The vision of Grammy-Award-nominated multiplatinum Cypress Hill rapper Sen Dog, downset guitarist Rogelio "Roy" Lozano, Biohazard vocalist and guitarist Billy Graziadei, ex-Fear Factory bassist Christian Olde Wolbers, and Worst drummer Fernando Schaefer, Powerflo draws on their powerhouse resume to collectively smash boundaries with Powerflo. The album is produced by Josh Lynch and Billy Graziadei, mixed by Jay Baumgardner (Godsmack, Papa Roach, Helmet) and mastered by Maor Applebaum (Faith No More, Halford, Adrenaline Mob) at Maor Applebaum Mastering.

Of their new lyric video, Powerflo frontman Sen Dog commented, "We're here to make honest music. It's not about pleasing anybody or confirming anything. We're creating from a pure place. We worked our asses off. It's not a one-time thing. It's just the first Powerflo album. There's much more to come..."

Powerflo vocalist/guitarist Billy Graziadei added, "Getting our music out there has been a while in the making but I'm looking forward to finally having Powerflo in everyone's hands. We dropped a video for 'Resistance' first since it basically sums up how we all roll, living life on our terms! Our lives, our way, rising up against any force that stands against us. Next up, live Powerflo in your face like a shotgun blast!"

The origins of Powerflo can be traced back over more than two decades as the members of the band would collaborate on numerous occasions. In addition to both Cypress Hill and Biohazard appearing on the landmark platinum-selling Judgment Night Soundtrack, Sen Dog delivered a cameo on Biohazard's State Of The World Address in 1993, while Christian both guested on Cypress Hill's chart-topping 2000 double-album Skulls & Bones, which Roy also guested on, and 2001's Stone Raiders in addition to performing with the group countless times. In 2015, longtime friend Roy played demos for Sen on a ride to the airport. The music immediately spoke to the rapper and thus Powerflo was born.
