Description:
Following a two-year studio hiatus, Sonicflood has returned with a release full of new material called This Generation and an anxious bunch of younger fans who feel like they've waited forever. The question now is was the wait worth it? Much like the band's 2003 Cry Holy release, you'll find a handful of compelling, dynamic tracks like "Everlasting," "Your Love Goes On Forever," and "Moment of Glory."

Following a two-year studio hiatus, Sonicflood has returned with a release full of new material called This Generation and an anxious bunch of younger fans who feel like they've waited forever. The question now is was the wait worth it? Much like the band's 2003 Cry Holy release, you'll find a handful of compelling, dynamic tracks like "Everlasting," "Your Love Goes On Forever," and "Moment of Glory." Problem is that these pleasures are few and fare between. Sure, Rick Heil is surrounded by a new band culled from the likes of Matt Redman, LaRue, and Everlife.
