Description

With The Cold, Flotsam and Jetsam have gone back to their roots of playing old school Thrash Metal. The album was produced by Ralph Patlan (Megadeth, Michael Schenker and more) at Phase 4 Studios in Phoenix, Arizona and cover art was done by Travis Smith (Nevermore, Iced Earth and more). Flotsam and Jetsam have come back stronger than ever and with this their first new album since 2005, they are sure to please their loyal fan base as well as recruiting new fans. For those who need a refresher course, Flotsam and Jetsam exploded onto the brand new Thrash scene in 1986 with the legendary Doomsday For the Deceiver, the record that propelled original bass player Jason Newstead to international superstardom as a member of Metallica. Not to be outdone, Flotsam then followed up with what some consider to be the most important Thrash record of all time, No Place For Disgrace. Then it was onward and upward to MCA records for 3 albums that allowed the band to grow musically while never losing the integrity their fans had come to expect. The band went back to Metal Blade for three more albums before releasing Dreams Of Death (Crash Music) in 2005. Midyear 2008 the band started to work on The Cold which became the last album with Mark Simpson on guitar. He left the band in friendship and was replaced by the former guitarist Michael Gilbert. Listen for yourself, make sure it is loud, and celebrate Metal The Uniter, Not The Divider.
