FLOTSAM AND JETSAM – The End of Chaos (Digipak CD)

The End of Chaos is the thirteenth studio album by Flotsam and Jetsam, released on January 18th, 2019 via AFM Records. It is the band’s first album to feature drummer Ken Mary, replacing Jason Bittner.

Reinventing themselves is as high as a risk for bands that have been in the game as long as Flotsam and Jetsam has, as it is trying to keep themselves relevant in their musical endeavors. In a metal sub-genre like thrash or speed, penning a record that sounds modern and fresh while still remaining true to their roots is easier said than done for any new band, let alone for three decades veterans. Nonetheless, Flotsam and Jetsam did not slacken the reins, and The End of Chaos is nothing else but a ruthless declaration of calculated guitar riffs, eruptions of velocity combined with doomy bass lines, irritated vocal lines and unforgiving high-class drumming, all of the above hardened with a crystal-clear mix and production to boot.
