Flotsam and Jetsam: “Burned My Bridges” Single 5th July 2024 AFM Records. USA Thrash Metal band.
The Phoenix Arizona band is back, with another powerful album to blast the world. Underated by the media and the fact Jason Newsted joined Metallica. Gave the idea of some, but the band was disappearing. As a fan of the first album, like many bands, they had their ups and downs. Meaning some of the albums such as the third didn’t get as powerful as the first two.
As many fought to keep their roots and sound, many line-ups changed and as usual the old lineup back then split again. It didn’t kill Flotsam and Jetsam, it got them stronger. For a few years, they have been releasing amazing powerful albums to blast the world. Joining today’s digital age, they release many singles with AI videos and digital artwork for the covers.
I had the pleasure to interview band members several times and am proud to own the first LPs, it’s always nice to see the bands you grew up with still kicking and giving. It must be the fourth single to date. Eric‘s voice takes you from day one, into beautiful dreams and pleasure. Never mind the artwork showing dragons and monsters. It has the strength that keeps the eighties Thrash Metal alive.
