Veterans of the New England hardcore metal scene, Since the Flood were formed in 2002 in New Hampshire. The group has had some lineup shifts over the years, but the core trio of vocalist Chuck Bouley, drummer Luke Buckbee, and guitarist Dave Stauble have been central to the various incarnations, which have also included guitarists Dan Haggerty and Kevin Leary and bassist Rob Deangelis. Since the Flood released a couple of independent demos before signing with Trevor Phipps' Ironclad Recordings, which issued a debut album, Valor and Vengeance, in 2005. A second album, called No Compromise, was recorded at Outpost Studios in Stoughton, MA, and produced by Jim Siegal; it appeared in 2007 from Metal Blade Records. ~ Steve Leggett
