FLOTSAM AND JETSAM

Sensational and highest chart entry into Flotsam and Jetsam music career! We are mighty proud of 19th place German media control Chart. Also they break the Top 100 in US Billboradcharts and end up #81. In Switzerland the end with 57th place in the official top 100!

Thrash metal veterans, Flotsam And Jetsam, have entered Germany’s GfK Entertainment Charts at #19, with their new album, The End Of Chaos, out now via AFM Records. This is the fourteenth album in their more than 30-year history.

“This album kills! It’s all five guys with the gas pedal pushed to the floor for the entire album!” states Ken Mary.”It was cool to have a new element of influence on this album with having Ken’s drum parts to partner with and play in and around his playing that also do with the guitars and vocals. Glad to have had Jacob Hansen bringing this album to the overall sound and energy it has, Jacob really highlights AK’s vocal melodies, as well as Steve and Michael’s songwriting, while the power of the rhythm section drives the songs.” – Michael Spencer

Flotsam and Jetsam – The End Of Chaos

Reinier de Vries — Tue, 08 Jan 2019 13:10:20 +0000

It was autumn 2010 when I drove to Denmark to visit some Power of Metal collegues. Several cd’s were spinning around in my car, one of them was the new Flotsam and Jetsam album The Cold. Especially the track ‘Better Off Dead’ became one of my favorites, due to the mood I was in back then. Arriving in Denmark and meeting my Danish metal friends, it didn’t take a lot of time to figure out that they did not know that Flotsam and Jetsam had a new album out. Back then they were not completely over the moon about the album, but perhaps that has changed after a few more listens. Now, almost 9 years later, The End Of Chaos is ready. Their 2012 album Ugly Noise, was in the same kind of more modern sounding metal style as The Cold. Their 2016 album simply called Flotsam and Jetsam was already a lot faster than the predecessors and with this album they continue that path.

The End of Chaos has lots of fast and thrashy sounding songs, the production of Jacob Hansen is modern and perfectly balanced. Eric A.K. is one of the best singers in the metal scene and again he shows that song after song. The biggest compliment however goes out to their new drummer, Ken Mary, known from Fifth Angel, TKO, Chastain, Alice Cooper, Impelliterri and House of Lords. The speed and tight drumming style of Ken is outstanding and together with the bass the excellent engine for each song. After the mid tempo opening track the band really opens all registers, ‘Control’ is a modern speed metal monster with some fine thrash riffs and Maiden influences. ‘Recover’ is a mid tempo heavy metal song in typical Flotsam and Jetsam style, a bit modern and with again some Maiden sounding melodies. ‘Prepare For Chaos’ is a riff based heavier song with again more speed. The high speed tracks continue with ‘Unwelcome Surprise’ as one of the highlights. The combination of thrash and power metal, or is that in fact speed metal, sounds fresh and reminds me of their first two albums.

Before you know it ‘The End’ starts and with that an album of almost 50 minutes of melodic speed metal with some fine thrash riffs ends. I push the repeat button and that will certainly not be the last time. Final conclusion is that Flotsam and Jetsam still delivers the goods, and in my opinion even stronger than on their last album. The first fine 2019 release is a fact!

The 80’s thrashers recently unleashed their new single “All In Favour” in support of their upcoming album “Saviours” due out May 25th.

Vocalist / guitarist Armin Kamal comments:

“Anyone who likes a more classic thrash sound, and longs for those days, just like we do, will dig this album. Since we are from that era, we are not trying to bring back that style of music, we are simply continuing what we know and do best! The Big Four will stand out as we have been described as a band with a bay area sound…But our influences are truly rooted in 70s and early 80s metal. Accept, Scorpions, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, and Judas Priest are all bands that laid the foundation and the love of metal for us!”
