Kowalczyk, Ed The Flood And The Mercy

2013, In the mid-´90s, Ed Kowalczyk found massive success as the lead singer and songwriter of Live - a group famous for its ultra-melodic, chest-beating, arena-rock radio classics ,,I Alone" and ,,Lightning Crashes". Along the way, however, amid serious inner-group tensions and lawsuits, the popular quartet disbanded in June 2009, leading Kowalczyk to do some serious soul searching in the rubble. What he found while down on his knees was a deeper sense of clarity and appreciation for the quiet clarion calls once receives to do something significant with one's life on Earth. THE FLOOD AND THE MERCY marks another great album as a solo artist. Within are more chest-beating anthems that the singer is known and loved for, but with a particular focus: the importance of faith and family in times of personal and existential crises, and the strength and purpose we can derive from both sources of solace.
