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 &#8220;Doomsday For The Receiver&#8221;,\u00a0<strong>FLOTSAM AND JETSAM<\/strong>\u00a0have delivered an impressive number of influential records.\u00a0<br \/><br \/>Alongside their latest single, &#8220;The Head of the Snake&#8221;, today the band is celebrating the release of their much awaited, 15th studio album\u00a0<strong>&#8220;I Am The Weapon&#8221;<\/strong>, which is out now on\u00a0<strong>AFM Records<\/strong>. The album, that more than deserves its self-confident title<strong>,\u00a0<\/strong>not only takes up seamlessly where its two outstanding predecessors &#8220;The End Of Chaos&#8221; (2019) and &#8220;Blood In The Water&#8221; (2021) left off, but even doubles down on all expectations. Voted<strong>\u00a0&#8220;Album Of The Month&#8221;<\/strong>\u00a0by several prestigious music magazines such as<strong>\u00a0Rock Hard Germany &amp; France, Metal Hammer Germany\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0<strong>Aardschok Magazine<\/strong>\u00a0in the Netherlands,<strong>\u00a0Rock Hard (GER)\u00a0<\/strong>writes<em>\u00a0&#8220;&#8216;I Am The Weapon&#8217; is one of the best Speed\/Thrash Metal records of the year so far!&#8221;<\/em><strong>Metal-Rules.com<\/strong>\u00a0recommends\u00a0<em>&#8220;Every metal fan should own this album&#8221;<\/em>, while\u00a0<strong>Metal Hammer<\/strong>\u00a0Germany finds it\u00a0<em>&#8220;simply magnificent!&#8221; &#8220;Arizona thrashers still deliver!&#8221;\u00a0<\/em>says<strong>\u00a0Fistful Of Metal<\/strong>\u00a0in the UK, and\u00a0<strong>Time For Metal\u00a0<\/strong>(GER) reviews the album\u00a0<em>as &#8220;versatile metallic sophistication.
