In an increasingly fast-paced world that appears to be interested only in the latest innovations, FLOTSAM AND JETSAM continue to be the proverbial rock in turbulent waters. For almost forty years, the thrash metal act from Phoenix, Arizona has released new albums on a regular basis and toured successfully around the globe. The band has never shown any loss of form or weaknesses to speak of, on the contrary: Since the arrival of their 1986 debut “Doomsday For The Receiver”, FLOTSAM AND JETSAM have delivered an impressive number of influential records.
Alongside their latest single, “The Head of the Snake”, today the band is celebrating the release of their much awaited, 15th studio album “I Am The Weapon”, which is out now on AFM Records. The album, that more than deserves its self-confident title, not only takes up seamlessly where its two outstanding predecessors “The End Of Chaos” (2019) and “Blood In The Water” (2021) left off, but even doubles down on all expectations. Voted “Album Of The Month” by several prestigious music magazines such as Rock Hard Germany & France, Metal Hammer Germany and Aardschok Magazine in the Netherlands, Rock Hard (GER) writes “‘I Am The Weapon’ is one of the best Speed/Thrash Metal records of the year so far!” Metal-Rules.com recommends “Every metal fan should own this album”, while Metal Hammer Germany finds it “simply magnificent!” “Arizona thrashers still deliver!” says Fistful Of Metal in the UK, and Time For Metal (GER) reviews the album as “versatile metallic sophistication. Whether Thrash, US Power Metal, Heavy Metal or Progressive Metal: Flotsam And Jetsam have it all!” To sum it up in the words of Aardschok Magazine: “If you like quality heavy metal, you’ve come to the right place and you can buy ‘I Am The Weapon’ blindly!”
“I Am The Weapon” was composed and produced by the whole band and the eleven new songs were recorded at SonicPhish Productions, Gnome Lord Studios, Wayne Manor Studios, and Seventh Spike Studios. The cover artwork was again created by Andy Pilkington.

“This entire record was special to us, and we did our best to make music that inspired us first and foremost,” the band comments. “We all genuinely love this record, and every song on the record, so hopefully our listeners feel as strongly as we do.”
“Thank you so much for your support, your love, and your encouragement for the last 40 years. You are the reason we continue to tour and to make music! You are the best, and we will continue to fight for the music as long as we have breath!
