Gary Lenaire & Guy Ritter

From Gary...
The mix has started! Soon our name will be revealed (revealed by a special person). We are so excited to be bringing this music to all of you. What started out as a “reunion” became an all new band with a very familiar HEAVY, forward sound! God willing, we will deliver multiple records. We are already writing songs for the sophomore release!"

Looking forward to hearing this. Do we know anyone else involved in this project besides Gary and Guy?

I try and keep up with the news, and post it to my site...  (I've been following what Guy's doing in the christian music scene for almost 20 years!)

Awesome! Some wonderful good news.  

I’ve been a bit depressed about the sudden and sad passing of Mike Howe from Metal Church yesterday…

Can’t wait to hear this! Gary and Guy are a great team. I know it will be worth the wait!

Too bad Victor Macias isn’t involved… but that is a minor gripe. I’m just glad Gary and Guy are back!

Thanks for the link. That's a good collection of news. It seems like Gary only posts updates on Facebook (which I'm not on) - not even on his website - so it's nice to have your site.

This looks like a great lineup. Now my hopes are even higher.

Whoa. This is some unexpected great news. When this comes out I'm buying it immediately.

If they post any samples of tracks, I'll post them here.

+1

Keen to hear!
The name reveal seems to be a big deal, guess they got a good one that suits. Surely the names not Holy Danger, Echo Hollow, 2050, Stop The Bleeding or Psycho Surgery.
  Bleeding Surgery

"In the final phases of the debut record’s mix. I’m reminded today that it took Guy and I two years to define the TQT sound in Los Angeles from 1987-1989. This time, this band, it took 18 months. Occasionally I wanted to move it along quicker but that isn’t how we work. Patience (and a seasoned sense of humor) has served us. This music is truly our offering to God. May those who need to hear it…hear it LOUD!"

They're late to the party IMO....

should have done this YEARS ago

Cannot wait! 

So thankful that Gary seems to have returned to the fold!

I’m very thankful that Guy and Gary are back making music together. Especially Gary returning to God!

Thank you Fundy for the updates!

How much longer until Gary reveals the name of the band?

No news on that, as far as I can tell...

Still no news yet... but Gary did just post...



The new band…the new name. We appreciate your anticipation. And…countdown has started…

They should just spill the beans. If you build up a hype you must live up to it.

And the name is...

Ted’s Tourniquet Ark and Gary’s Flood.

Great minds think alike. LOL

https://www.floodofficial.com/  There's a very short sample on there...

Nice. It definitely sounds like a Lenaire riff.

Oh wow, heavy doom-laden riffage there.
