Flotsam are imo the most underrated band in thrash and if we are talking SINGERS, has there ever been a better one than Eric?.......I can't think of anybody better.
The old school thrash sounds is still one of my favorite genres but unfortunately it relies generally speaking too much on the guitar work and apart from Eric AK, John Bush and maybe a few others there has never been many great singers in thrash. In terms of vocals, mostly what u hear is either a bad Exodus cardboard copy or the wailing classic metal style, leaning towards a power metal approach (which is absolutely not my thing btw). Let's put it this way... if Layne Staley's drug of choice were anabolic steroids instead of heroin he might've just made for an amazing thrash vocalist in my opinion
@@jayjaytee9944 dude, totally agree. I was simply doing a comparison in a vacuum. The fact that Eric's voice has stood up and even gotten better speaks volumes of the dude's talent.
From the moment I saw Ken Mary's drumsolo with House Of Lords at Aardschokdag 1989 I was blown away by his drumming. Fun fact: Flotsam And Jetsam were playing the same day at that same festival. What a dreamteam they now are!
I was just thinking about how the vocals remind me of the singer who is currently fronting Fifth Angel. Then I recognized the name Ken Mary -- Same drummer! Cool!
Exactly...Ken is a monster player and my favourite drummer since the first album I heard him on playing (Chastain - Ruler of the wastelands). Freakin' awesome and great stuff F&J are delivering
Amen. The dude is a monster on the kit. While they were always a great, heavy band, his presence has brought them back on the track they should be on, after a few subpar releases.
I can't believe it! This guy's 56 years old and still pumping out crushing vocals, like nobody's business! Rock on Eric, you're the man! And that chorus...wow! DROWNING - DOWN INTO THE DARKNESS BELOW A SLAVE TO THE SLAUGHTER SINKING - DOWN INTO THE BLACKOUT YOU GO THERE'S BLOOD IN THE WATER!
Wait till you hear the final song of the new album. Imo that is one of the best songs Flotsam And Jetsam have ever written. Just as aggressive but with even more emotion. The whole album kicks!
Flotzilla still moshing hard after 35 years of existence.Looking that this album would be the best in 2021 releases and i am making my own mosh pit .Flotz till death.
thank you very much for taking the time to write back, I have been a fan since the first album and I have all the flotsam albums, but what you write back has made me very happy thank you again!!!!! you are very kind person it may be something small for you to write back but it is something I will remember for the rest of my life tanks !!!
Once again, Flotsam and Jetsam DELIVERS. This is one HELLUVA song!!!!! Musically it is bludgeoning you while at the same time it’s singing you a melody!!! How the f do you do that???? They do it. The lyrics and singing - as always - push the mind to the edge. Cant wait to get the album guys!!! Its pre-ordered!!! Bring it!!! 🤘😎🤘
These guys are like fine wine, the older they get the better they play. These guys have been ripping it up since the 80’s. Very underrated band, keeping it real !!!
No importa el tiempo que pase.... Esta banda es brutal nuuuuuunca me ha decepcionado... Y lo más increíble es que cada vez que editan música es aún mejor que el anterior trabajo... Mucho ... Mucho más éxito y reconocimiento se merecen....
Have followed this band from day one with Doomsday For The Deceiver way back in the 80's. Sounds like another classic will be added to their catalog real soon. Last 2 albums are killer so why not make it a trilogy! 🍻
Been my all-time fave band since 86, and I remember seeing them @ the Mason Jar, back in Phoenix, so packed that I had to kneel on a pool table, because there wasn't room on the floor haha... Flots Till Death!!!!
This is amazing. The vocals. The guitars. The drumming. My only critique is that the bass seems lower in the mix than the last 2 albums, which takes away some of the punch. Still a must-buy, tho. See you guys on tour!
What is That???? Oh Fuckk, is that great! Heavy, straight and powerfull! I like äh, no I love this fucking great Heavy shit! Flotsam an Jetsam forever!!
Flotsam are imo the most underrated band in thrash and if we are talking SINGERS, has there ever been a better one than Eric?.......I can't think of anybody better.
He's in the top five with Chuck Billy, Bobby Blitz, John Bush, and Russ Anderson.

The only one who could give him some competition is Russ Anderson from Forbidden but I think Eric AK is still better.
@@Anuduin Love Russ too, but Forbidden did like 5 albums. Eric has been doing this for 35 years or more and still sounds fantastic!
@@jayjaytee9944 dude, totally agree. I was simply doing a comparison in a vacuum. The fact that Eric's voice has stood up and even gotten better speaks volumes of the dude's talent.
A.K. is a freaking beast. His voice remains transcendent !!
The drums are amazing. Ken Mary rules!!!
Thank you for the kind words my friend!!

@Yair Cardenas Ornelas Lars Ulrich Does Not Like THESE DRUMS 🥁
Oh sick! Heavy, fast, and melodic!
Great track ... Eric AK ages like fine wine, probably the best Thrash vocalist around today!
Bobby Blitz, too.
I agree Eric is à Giant among the others like Marc Osegueda, Chuck Billy, Bobby Blitz and Mr Sean Killian 🤘
... 🤘 🇺🇸
@@robertghanem107 Yeah 🤘, Bobby is a master.
Uh maybe but John bush kicks a.. on saints latest
In 2021, just like in 1984... Flots till death!
Mega band!
Sempre mal visti o poco apprezzati!
@@waynebrotherwayne9941 Mal visti dai miopi e poco apprezzati dagli stolti! ;-)
@@costantinoandruzzi2219 jeah
Fast ,aggressive , with a hint of melody yet still heavy and catchy !!!!!

Absolutely! 🤘
Ken Mary is a HUGE part of why I'm diggin the most recent flotsam material. Dudes a beast 💪

A SLAVE TO THE SLAUGHTER
SINKING - DOWN INTO THE BLACKOUT YOU GO
THERE'S BLOOD IN THE WATER!
What the ACTUAL FUCK DID I HEARD NOW? THIS IS THE BEST F&J SONG IN YEARS

To make such a masterpiece this late into their career is astonishing! Almost as perfect as no place for disgrace!!! Old thrashers please buy it.
Hell yeah !⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Flotsam still kickin ass and playing "true" Metal. Show them whippersnapper bands how it's supposed to be done. 🤘
Flotsam never disappoints...so many great songs since the beginning...and this album seems like it will be the same
Wait till you hear the final song of the new album. Imo that is one of the best songs Flotsam And Jetsam have ever written. Just as aggressive but with even more emotion. The whole album kicks!
The riffs are bad ass but the drums make it rock hard as hell
Lars Ulrich Does Not Like THESE DRUMS 🥁 infact disliked the video because he wanted no BASS on the song !
best work of 2021 !!!!!!!
when you hears several times it gets better and better! every flotsam album is like that !! the more you hear the better it gets!!!
Another absolute killer track!!! Bravo again, guys. Playing on repeat. So inspiring - every album is an evolution! Amazing!

Theres blood on the wall. I just headbanged right into the drywall. Never felt better!
Scheiße ist das ein geiler Vorschlaghammer. Vor allem die Melodieführung zwischen den Axtattacken und das Schlagzeug! Ohne Makel! 💖
Sounds Great with High-Quality headphones, then again every Flotsam song does. Lyric Video is very creative, well done! FTD
