"Floods" is a song by American heavy metal band Pantera from their 1996 album The Great Southern Trendkill.
Pantera bassist Rex Brown said about "Floods": That was one of my favorite bass lines on that song.
[2]The lyrics of the song tell about atrocious acts committed by mankind such as rape, murder, and war, and contain a plea to God to flood the earth in a fashion like that described in the biblical Book of Genesis.
The solo was originally a riff written by Darrell in the mid-1980s, and footage exists of him performing these licks as early as 1986.
He definitely adds to the vibe and feel of my lead because I'm playing off his part a lot—it was a great foundation for me to build on, man.
Dalton also described it as "a seven-minute, shape-shifting, post-apocalyptic epic featuring one of Dimebag Darrell's finest solos, an octave-vaulting baroque ejaculation that sounds like Brian May on steroids".
