Chris Kimmerer | | Bio: Sonicflood (sometimes stylized as SONICFLOOd) is a U.S. group of Contemporary Christian music, based in Nashville, Tennessee. They started in 1999 with a self-titled debut album.
Sonicflood's origins can be traced back to the band Zilch, which originated from dc Talk's traveling band: lead singer & guitarist Mark Lee Townsend, keyboardist Jason Halbert, and bassist Otto Price. Zilch released its first Christian rock album, Platinum, in 1997 on Gotee Records and received very little publicity. Mark Lee Townsend left the band and was replaced by then-independent artist Jeff Deyo. After performing in various clubs for a while, Gotee Records producers saw the band perform a cover of Lord, I Lift Your Name on High and suggested that the band consider recording a praise & worship album.
The band agreed to this new direction. Because of the change in style and sound, and the departure of Townsend, the band changed its name to Sonicflood. Sonicflood added Seven Day Jesus guitarist Dwayne Larring and drummer Aaron Blanton to its lineup, not to mention a host of additional guitarists appearing as studio guests. Otto Price played bass on the album but dropped out of the core band. Rick Heil, Big Tent Revival bass player, took Otto Price's place in February 1999 before Sonicflood began touring. In February 1999, Sonicflood released its debut and eventually sold 900,000 units, had two #1 hits, and garnered three Dove Awards nominations and one win, for "Praise and Worship Album".
