SONICFlood Biography
SONICFLOOd, a popular Nashville-based Christian worship band, is credited alongside Delirious? for pioneering the modern rock-worship movement. Their sound incorporates electric guitars, distortion, and effects, creating a powerful and contemporary soundscape for praise and worship.
For SONICFLOOd, the music itself is an act of worship. Lead singer Rick Heil explains, "Music was created by God, as was every instrument, to be used to bring Him glory." They point to the Psalms as a biblical example of music used to praise God in every situation, and cite scripture (Colossians 3:16 and Ephesians 5:19) that instructs Christians to sing and make music for the Lord. This deep faith and commitment to scripture is the foundation of SONICFLOOd's music.
SONICFLOOd's impact on contemporary worship is undeniable. Since their 1999 debut, they've released eight albums, sold over two million records, and garnered numerous Dove Awards and a Grammy nomination. Their guitar-driven, high-energy praise has resonated with worshippers worldwide.
Their ministry extends far beyond the United States. SONICFLOOd actively tours internationally, spreading their message of worship in countries like India, Australia, Brazil, and many more. Their goal is not just to perform music, but to ignite a passion for worshipping God in people everywhere, regardless of location or spiritual background. "We want to see people falling in love with Jesus Christ through music," says Heil. "May we see greater revelation of just how much God loves His creation and then press into that wonderful love with our worship!" Read more on Last.fm.
