Video: FLOTSAM AND JETSAM Performs Live For First Time With SHADOWS FALL Drummer JASON BITTNER

May 11, 2015

Veteran Arizona metallers FLOTSAM AND JETSAM made their live debut with new drummer Jason Bittner (SHADOWS FALL, ANTHRAX) this past Friday, May 8 at Club Red in Mesa, Arizona. Video footage of the concert can be seen below.

FLOTSAM AND JETSAM has announced the first leg of its 2015 European tour that is scheduled to start May 13 with four shows in Greece and move to mainland Europe, consisting of club shows and a few festival appearances, culminating with the Fortarock festival in The Netherlands on June 6 alongside headliners HATEBREED, LAMB OF GOD and SLIPKNOT. The trek will mark the band's return to Europe, coming off the heels of 2012's "Ugly Noise" album and last year's re-recording of the band's classic 1988 "No Place For Disgrace" LP. Joining FLOTSAM for the majority of the mainland European tour will be the Belgian band BLIKSEM.

FLOTSAM's current linup includes Steve Conley on guitar and Michael Spencer (who previously contributed to the writing of the band's classic 1988 release, "No Place For Disgrace") on bass.

FLOTSAM AND JETSAM has entered the studio to begin recording its new album — the band's first to feature Bittner.

Spencer recently stated about the new FLOTSAM AND JETSAM material: "There's a great, old-school thrash vibe going on with the direction of the songs and what originally influenced the band, mixed with a little of what we like about today's sound, in metal."

FLOTSAM AND JETSAM returned to Metal Blade Records for the release of "Ugly Noise".
