**Powerflo** is an American [rap metal](/source/Rap_metal) band from Los Angeles, formed in 2016. The band's current lineup consists of lead vocalist [Senen Reyes](/source/Sen_Dog) ([Cypress Hill](/source/Cypress_Hill)), lead guitarist/backing vocalist Rogelio "Roy" Lozano ([Downset.](/source/Downset.)), rhythm guitarist/lead vocalist [Billy Graziadei](/source/Billy_Graziadei) ([Biohazard](/source/Biohazard_(band))), bassist/backing vocalist [Christian Olde Wolbers](/source/Christian_Olde_Wolbers) ([Fear Factory](/source/Fear_Factory)), and drummer Fred Aching ([Rio](/source/Rio_(band))).[1] Aching replaced original drummer Fernando Schaefer ([Korzus](/source/Korzus)) in 2018.

## History

The band's history can be traced back to the 1990s, where the band members would often collaborate – such as [Senen "Sen Dog" Reyes](/source/Sen_Dog) and [Billy Graziadei](/source/Billy_Graziadei) performing on [Biohazard](/source/Biohazard_(band))'s *[State of the World Address](/source/State_of_the_World_Address)* album with the hit single "How It Is", or [Christian Olde Wolbers](/source/Christian_Olde_Wolbers) and Roy Lozano appearing on the [Cypress Hill](/source/Cypress_Hill) albums *[Skull & Bones](/source/Skull_%26_Bones_(album))* and *[Stoned Raiders](/source/Stoned_Raiders)*. In 2015, Lozano played some demos to Senen Reyes on a ride to the airport, setting the foundations for Powerflo.[2]

The name of the band comes from a comment Lozano made about Reyes's vocal tracking for the upcoming album. Describing their sound as a "cross between [Iron Maiden](/source/Iron_Maiden), [Black Sabbath](/source/Black_Sabbath) and [Cypress Hill](/source/Cypress_Hill)", they first unveiled the band on March 1, 2017 while recording their [self-titled debut album](/source/Powerflo_(album)). On May 2, 2017, they released the first single "Resistance" via *[Metal Injection](/source/Metal_Injection)*.[3] In launching the first single, Reyes indicated that this is a longterm project and that future Powerflo albums will be released after their self-titled, produced by Billy Graziadei and Josh Lynch, is released, while also announcing a June 23 release date.

On June 2, 2017, Powerflo released their next music video (directed by Graziadei) for "Victims of Circumstance", a song influenced by the TV series *[The First 48](/source/The_First_48)*.[4] At the same time, they announced their first show at The Viper Room in Los Angeles on June 15. On May 31, "Resistance" was chosen as the official theme song for [WWE NXT](/source/WWE_NXT)'s programming.[5]

In July 2017, Powerflo released another video for the single "Where I Stay" (directed by Jeremy Danger and Travis Shinn) which reached over 1 million views within weeks of release. The band spent the summer and fall touring with friends from San Diego [P.O.D.](/source/P.O.D._(band)) and L.A. family [Brujeria](/source/Brujeria_(band)).

Powerflo released the next video for "Less than Human" (directed by Graziadei) in December 2017 and went on tour with [Prong](/source/Prong_(band)) in the spring of 2018.
