Flotsam and Jetsam Debut New Song “Burn the Sky”
Veteran thrashers Flotsam and Jetsam have released a real ripper of a new song, “Burn the Sky.” You want old school thrash? Oh, this song has old school thrash. You want massive hooks? Oh, this song has a massive hook. You want a siqq guitar solo? Oh, this song has a siqq guitar solo. You want fries with that? Well, you can’t have everything.
The track is the first single from Flotsam and Jetsam’s forthcoming album, Blood in the Water.
Says singer Eric A.K. of the song:
“While we were in the process of selecting which songs we would use for the album’s videos, ‘Burn the Sky’ was the only one that was on everyone’s lists consistently. This track has some guitar work by Mike [Gilbert] and Steve [Conley] that are second to none.”
Adds Gilbert:
“We really had a hell of a time figuring out which songs actually include in this album, because we don’t feel we have any fillers… I don’t want anyone feeling we are getting fucking old. As long as we continue doing this, we are gonna bring it. Our sound changed through the years influenced by many factors, but what you are listening to now is who we are and will continue to be.”
Concludes drummer Ken Mary:
“The recording of this album was very much a natural process, we really worked together as a team to make sure that everything that needed to be on the record, was indeed on it. I haven’t listened to it for a while and I went back and listened recently, and it really gives the impression that we are really angry.”
