Flotsam And Jetsam: new album title announced
Arizona metallers Flotsam And Jetsam have set "The Cold" as the title of their new album, due in early 2009 via Driven Music Group, the label created by former Korn guitarist Brian "Head" Welch. According to guitarist Mark Simpson, the CD will feature "10 songs, all brutal, All killer, No filler!! We are currently finishing up guitars and starting on vocals." Songtitles set to appear on the CD include "Black Cloud", "Secret Life", "Hypocrite", "Falling Short" and "Take". The cover artwork will once again be created by Travis Smith (Opeth, Nevermore), "which we are extremely excited about because of his amazing skill and vision," says Simpson. "The cover will also feature the debut of an up-and-coming new talent."Video footage of Flotsam And Jetsam performing the song "N.E. Terror" at the Keep It True Xi festival on November 15, 2008 at Soundpark-Ost (ex-Rockpalast) in Würzburg, Germany can be viewed below (clip uploaded by "stoneagelightning").
