In a certain way, Flotsam And Jetsam are cursed. They are prisoners from their distant past stuck in the head of those who, as stated by singer Eric AK himself, “never listen to any stuff after Doomsday For The Deceiver or No Place For Disgrace”, their first two records and thus aren’t recognized for what they have become and are today. Flotsam And Jetsam’s career is yet characterized by an excellent power/thrash metal, executed by incredible gifted musicians and one of the best singers of this scene. But Flotsam And Jetsam’s career is also, and that’s what stands out from the whole interview, a path made of disillusions and hazards.
But today, motivation is the key word for Flotsam And Jetsam with the release of the follow-up to the excellent The Cold: Ugly Noise. This record sees the comeback of the band’s most creative line-up which gave birth to the bomb Drift in 1995 and the involvement of Jason Newsted, the band’s first bass player, in some of the song writing. Eric AK, aware of the band’s current potential, expresses his will to conquer again our metal hearts and to rekindle Flotsam And Jetsam’s flame in the metal world. He assures that “our creative peak is actually still yet to come”.
