FLOTSAM AND JETSAM RETURN WITH BLOOD IN THE WATER
Flotsam And Jetsam return with album number fourteen. Blood In The Waters is the second album with Ken Mary on drums, best know for his work with Alice Cooper and a slew of other bands. This album also marks the debut of Bill Bodily on bass. I had the pleasure of interviewing him while he was in Toxik.
Their previous release The End Of Chaos made a lot of people’s end-of-year lists. Truth be told that album had a lot of really good tracks on it. So given the band’s longevity and the fact that The End Of Chaos was so strong, I was hesitant to listen to Blood In The Water. Can they still deliver, or was their last album where they blew their last remaining load?
I’m glad to say, it wasn’t Blood In The Water picks up right where the last album picked up. It reminds me of what bands like Overkill have been able to do. They find their way back on course and stay there. Flotsam And Jetsam seem to have found their way back to where most thrash fans want them to be. And look, although they dabbled in different things here and there, they’ve never honestly put out a hot pile of dung. Some things have obviously worked better than others.
If you enjoyed The End Of Chaos, check Blood In The Water out. If you haven’t check out either and are a fan of their previous work, do yourself a favor and check both albums out.
