2024 continues to be a gift in terms of solid releases, and the news recently that a new album from thrashers Flotsam & Jetsam will arrive in September certainly made my eyes light up. Enjoying a rich vein of form over the past decade, the current line-up has made some stellar music, with 2021’s Blood in the Water a career best in my humble opinion. The band recently released I Am the Weapon, and now follow it up with new single Primal. Both tracks are solidly Flots, full of snarling guitar, the phenomenal drumming of Ken Mary, and of course, the vocals of Eric ‘AK’ Knutson. He’s surely one of the best singers in metal and proves his quality once again here. Primal especially manages to blend melody, the thrash edge and a pounding drive that is dynamic and aggressive. Hooks galore grab the listener, with some superb guitar from Michael Gilbert and Steve Conley.
About their new single, the band writes: "We're very excited to once again unleash Flotzilla onto the metal community! This time, he'll take the form of our newest single, Primal. With Primal we tried to capture the 'punch in the face' energy that Flotsam and Jetsam is known for, and blend it with a melody that sticks in your head for days... we hope our fans will embrace it, as we are very pleased with how this song and the new record has turned out, and we look forward to seeing you all very soon!"
