"Ripped Into Exile represents the culmination of the musical operative expertise of Flood, a plexus of musicians consisting of the metal amalgamation of Tourniquet, Extol and Echo Hollow....It is the opinion of this examiner that Flood has delivered an engaging, technically brilliant and spiritually insightful collection of songs which will most likely be praised and immortalized in the annals of heavy metal circa 2024."
--- Jonathan “Doc” Swank, M. D. FOR HEAVEN'S METAL MAGAZINE

"It's hard to imagine Guy, Gary, and Erik exceeding the artistic pedigree from their legendary work with Tourniquet. But one listen to FLOOD's epic metal album, POLARIZED and I knew definitively that they had achieved next-level greatness. The tightness, the progressive elements, and the blending of melody with perfectly aggressive heavy metal made the hair on my back stand straight up."
---MATTHEW HUNT (Retroactive & Bombworks Records)
ABOUT THE ALBUM
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. 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 João 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.
