Flotsam and Jetsam video single, “Brace For Impact”

Phoenix, Arizona power/thrash metal legends Flotsam and Jetsam have dropped their new single “Brace For Impact” in official music video form — check out the clip below. The track appears on the band’s incoming fourteenth studio album, ‘Blood In The Water,’ which comes out on June 4th through AFM Records (pre-order).

“Blood In The Water is unarguably the Arizona-based quintet’s finest, hardest-hitting release to date,” says today’s song reveal announcement. “After spending most of the past year in a pandemic-induced holding pattern, FLOTSAM AND JETSAM made the best of a struggling situation and let their angst-ridden creative juices flow, resulting in the twelve crushing tracks that comprise Blood In The Water.”

Drummer Ken K Mary comments, “We knew we had to come out strong after ‘The End of Chaos.’ I’m not sure we really believed we could deliver. Those fears, it turns out, were unfounded. The events around us just poured fuel on the creative fires. I’m very proud of this album and the band.”

Guitarist Michael Gilbert adds, “We weren’t really sure what we had left in the tank, as we put so much work, sweat and blood into the ‘Chaos’ album. As it turns out, we had plenty to say. With everything that’s happened in the world, the friends we lost this last year, and not being able to perform or tour… you hear all of that in our music. It’s angry, it’s aggressive, and our emotions pour out all over this album.”
