FLOOD – Flood [Heaven And Hell Records remaster] (2025), MP3+ FLAC, FAke!
Here’s in exclusive the just released Heaven And Hell Records remaster of “Flood“, the music from former BANSHEE enigmatic vocalist & frontman TOMMY LEE FLOOD recorded after the departure from the band in 1994.
These were hard times for musicians faithful to classic hard rock sounds.
“I assembled a band with virtuoso guitarist and famous amplifier designer Lee Jackson, and we wanted to go for something very fresh. Grunge had taken over the music scene and we didn’t want to be grunge or associated with a time stamp or genre” – says Tommy – “Although Lee and I wrote most of the music before the other players were in place, we wrote additional songs after, all together, which allowed everyone to put their touch on the project.”
Due to the inability to find a label, the “Flood” album would be self-released in 2000, with limited distribution and visibility. Tommy continues; “No one was signing bands at the time. Marketing on the internet was not a big thing. So, between no labels signing true Rock acts and not having distribution abilities, it made it hard to get the music out. The stigmatism of being an ’80s rocker in the face of grunge and alternative made it even more difficult to bend anyone’s ear to listen to these songs.”
Now “Flood” is getting a proper release and let us tell you this is avery, very interesting album, varied, with clever arrangements reminiscent of SAIGON KICK, sure to please fans of CRIMSON GLORY introspective moments, KING’S X, BANSHEE, etc.
After some line up changers and seeing they had something special, Flood and Jackson continued the project and sought a permanent band in 1995. Former BANSHEE drummer Kent Burnham and bassist / keyboardist Jim Langin were brought on board. Guitarist Hans Brawner from North Carolina would complete the lineup for the band that was named PRIMAL ORDER. In 1995, the band self-released its 14-song debut album “Animal”. The following year, Chum Bucket Records released the album “Meat,” which comprised most of the previous songs featured in “Animal”.
Not long after the release of ”Meat,” Jackson had to exit the band to focus on priorities with his company to attend to. The group tried to continue as a 4-piece. However, it became evident that the band no longer sounded the same without Jackson. PRIMAL ORDER decided to part ways and remain friends.
While everyone was still communicating, Flood would call the guys back into the studio to record ten new tracks, including a cover of THE BEATLES “The Walrus’. In addition to these songs, Flood added four songs from the PRIMAL ORDER recordings to create the TOMMY LEE FLOOD “Flood” album.
The only way to obtain the album back in 2000’s was directly from Tommy through his website. Those who were lucky enough to hear the album raved about it. The album would show a singer/songwriter and artist who had matured like a fine wine as he had flowed through two decades. The band he assembled and the additional musicians helped to create a record that not only echoed TOMMY LEE FLOOD’s past while foretelling that the best was indeed yet to come.
“It garnished me the independent rock album of the year at the L.A. Music Awards.” ends Tommy Lee Flood.
A really good, different album, well recorded and produced, with skilled musicians participating.
Some time ago Tommy Lee Flood put himself the album on streaming platforms, but the sound quality of this remastered version is far superior, clearer and punchier.
