THEIR SOUND IS PURE ADRENALINE. With heavy guitars, and aggressive vocals over pounding beats; GENUFLECT is raw, powerful delivery.
The word Genuflect literally means "To bow or kneel before God." The lyrical focus lashes out against those who commit violence in the name of any and all religions. The message is clear cut…The end is near; it's evolution or extinction.
The band is a new project by Drew Simollardes and Greg Sullivan, the vocalist and the guitarist from the band Reveille, who toured on Ozzfest with Pantera, Soulfly and Disturbed; and also toured nationally with Sevendust, Static-X, Godsmack, Powerman 5000, Kid Rock, and Machinehead.
Genuflect has released two albums thus far. Their debut record "The End of the World," was released in 2007, and was followed by "The Shadow Side," released earlier this year. The band headlined national tours in 2008 and again in 2009 promoting their two albums to a loyal underground fan following. Both albums can be purchased here online to anywhere in the world. Genuflect tracks are also available on itunes, or can be ordered from your local record store.
Genuflect is building a global following, selling records throughout North America, South America, Asia, Africa, and the European Nations. The bands underlying message is turning heads in both fans and critics alike, as the world begins to take notice.
"Genuflect is wired for political and social agitation. Song after song (Genuflect) picks a target and unloads. The misleading politicking that set the stage for the war in Iraq, the sex scandals involving members of the clergy, the idea of terrorists killing in the name of God, and the social decay brought on by a culture overfed on celebrity news but starved of meaningful discussion are some of the topics raised on "The End of the World." … a relentlessly hard-sounding album."
-The Worcester Telegram and Gazzette
"Genuflect ... is less rap and more metal than Reveille, but stays true to the hardcore sound that gave Reveille its edge. Street-smart songs such as "Potent" and "Kill Shot" delve into societal ills like crime and drugs with genuine passion and explosiveness. Could a rap-rock resurgence be upon us?"
-The Boston Herald
Genuflect has no upcoming shows scheduled, as Drew and Greg are both currently working on other projects.
In the light of day your shadow follows wherever you go... But in the darkness- It is you who follows your shadow
