English term or phrase: to drown in the deluge( here)

But occasionally I'd sort
of play then on 8-string.

On 8-string?

221 01:21:39:23 01:21:42:29
Anything like harmonics with The Who
just wouldn't cut through, you know?

222 01:21:43:00 01:21:46:12
It'd get drowned in the deluge.
Come si potrebbe rendere in questo contesto?

affogare nel diluvio di note

Explanation:
Il concetto di base è questo. Non userei di certo "fottìo", a meno che il registro del contesto non lo consenta. La frase allude al rumore, al casino della musica degli Who, in cui inserti armonici e delicati si perderebbero completamente, "sovrastati, schiacciati dal peso, dal diluvio" + quello che vuoi aggiungere tu (complemento di specificazione, o aggettivo tipo "generale, di fondo" ecc.)
