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 and Billy Biohazard performing on Biohazard's State Of The World Address album with the hit single How it is, or Wolbers and Lozano appearing in Cypress Hill albums Skull & Bones and Stoned Raiders.

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, Black Sabbath and Cypress Hill", they first unveiled the band on March 1, 2017 while recording their self-titled debut album. On May 2, 2017, they released the first single "Resistance" via Metal Injection.[3] In launching the first single, Reyes indicated that this is a long term 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.[4] At the same time, they announced their first show at The Viper Room in Los Angeles on June 15.
