Sen Dog: Yes, working on the Judgment Night soundtrack was very cool simply because of the great bands that were featured on that project and the enthusiasm of all who participated. Was that an enjoyable part of your career? Your band had two songs on the soundtrack. Watch this video and join the “Resistance” now!īoth you and Billy were part of the Judgment Night soundtrack, which was arguably ahead of its time. I think each song has its own individual identity, while all fitting together as one piece of art. Sen Dog: I don’t have a favorite song on the album. Of your bandmates in Powerflo, who did you meet first?ĭo you have a favorite song on your debut LP? I never saw it as a supergroup till other people started saying that.
We have always reached out to each other in the past when I would need a bass player for anything, Christian was always willing to lend a hand and that has been the nature of my friendship with Roy and Billy as well. Sen Dog: I didn’t plan for the band to be an all-star lineup, that just happened naturally. When the band was coming together, was it the plan to be an “all-star band?” Or did that happen coincidentally? Sen Dog: I would describe the Powerflo sound as a mixture of rap, metal, punk, rock, with a touch of electro, with rap and metal being the key ingredients to make it an overall metal sound.
How would you describe Powerflo to someone who hasn’t heard the band before? Here is the “Where I Stay” music video by Powerflo. Beyond some questions about Powerflo, the acclaimed emcee graciously answered a bit about his musical past while offering up some worthwhile “last words.” We had the pleasure of conducting Q&A with the mighty Sen Dog last year. The roots of Powerflo go back to 1993 when Cypress Hill and Biohazard were both on the Judgement Night soundtrack and Sen Dog was on Biohazard’s State Of The World Address release Christian and Roy later played on Cypress Hill’s Skull & Bones. However, this is not the first time that members of Powerflo - which includes rapper Sen Dog, guitarist Rogelio “Roy” Lozano, vocalist and guitarist Billy Graziadei, bassist Christian Olde Wolbers, and Worst drummer Fernando Schaefer - have collaborated. Powerflo released its debut album last year through New Damage Records, as produced by Josh Lynch and Billy Graziadei Jay Baumgardner (Godsmack, Helmet, Papa Roach) handled mixing duties. Ice-T and Slayer manage to thrash it out on an unsurpassed level, while Sonic Youth & Cypress Hill have that slightly paranoid sound you get from loving Mary Jane a little too much.Īvailable on vinyl for the first time since its original release!Ī1 Sonic Youth & Cypress Hill - I Love You Mary Jane (3:49)Ī2 Biohazard & Onyx - Judgement Night (4:35)Ī3 Helmet & House Of Pain - Just Another Victim (4:21)Ī4 Living Colour & Run DMC - Me, Myself & My Microphone (3:08)Ī6 Dinosaur Jr.Featuring past and present members of Biohazard, Cypress Hill, Downset and Fear Factory, the metal/hip-hop collective known as Powerflo is a supergroup of sorts. Judgment Night spawned four singles: Biohazard & Onyx's 'Judgment Night', Helmet & House Of Pain's 'Just Another Victim', Teenage Fanclub & De La Soul's 'Fallin'' and Faith No More & Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E.'s 'Another Body Murdered', and it also features highly sought after collaboration between Pearl Jam & Cypress Hill. It turned out to be quite a fruitful collaboration while the film bombed, the soundtrack went gold. And what better music to accompany this middle-class nightmare than a hybrid of the music suburbanites seemed most afraid of Rap and Rock. The 1993 film Judgment Night was basically suburbia's paranoid view of inner-city life, where the slightest misstep (such as trying to take a shortcut to a boxing match) has fateful, if not fatal, consequences.
