Flotsam and Jetsam’s “The Cold” from 2010 ranks among one of the best in their 30+ years career!

• Produced, recorded and mixed in Phoenix, Az at Phase Four Studios (a.o. Megadeth, White Wizzard, Witherfall).
• Mastered at Sonorous Mastering, Tempe, Arizona, USA.
• Artwork by Travis Smith (a.o. Death, Draconian, Exhorder, Iced Earth).

After starting off with a bang with classic releases in “Doomsday for the Deceiver” and “No Place for Disgrace” the band has failed to fire on a consistent basis and never come close to matching their storied Thrashing past. 2005’s “Dreams of Death” hinted at a change of fortune but was hampered by a production crippled by the budget. 5 years on and riding a wave of nostalgia created by having their back catalogue re-released and remastered Flotsam return with easily their best effort since those two legendary albums.

Finally armed with the tools needed to succeed the band deliver on the songs and “The Cold” flourishes. Travis Smith again supplies the stunning artwork. “Hypocrite” kicks off proceedings, a nice typical Flotsam heavy rocker but it’s apparent from the beginning that much more effort has gone into structure and delivery this time round. However, its not until second track “Take” that we get to see the new style in full swing complimenting Eric A.K.’s unique powerful vocals. Now Eric really outdoes himself on this release, taking himself and the band to a new level.
