Flash made their official reunion debut headlining the International ProgDay Festival in Chapel Hill, North Carolina on 4 September 2010. Peter Banks' passing in March 2013 occurred just before the May 2013 scheduled release of the first Flash album in forty years, "Flash Featuring Ray Bennett & Colin Carter" (Cleopatra Records). It was reported that Banks heard three of the tracks from the upcoming album before his sudden death and liked them, especially the band's first ever recording of a cover tune, NIN/Trent Reznor's "Hurt".
