Flotsam And Jetsam - The End Of Chaos, 2019 CD Album      AFM Records - AFM 668-9 Speed metal forever! F&J delivered a superb performance on Sunday night in Montreal, they expertly played a well balanced mix of classics and newer songs. 35 years later, they are at the top of their art (just like Anvil, who we saw two weeks earlier). The old guard does not back down! This was a lesson in metal. Of course with such a lengthy discography, they selected what most fans expect the most, ie. almost nothing from the fantastic 90s albums. From Cuatro to High, one can hear convergences to the sound of such bands as Soundgarden, and it was not very well received by the denim-and-patch-wearing crowd. I love these albums more than No Place For Disgrace, whose 2014 re-recording I like a lot more. Now, there is no album I do not like here, they are all great to amazing. I have a slight problem with the production of When The Storm and Unnatural Selection - that nasty overwhelming kick-drum may ruin a couple of songs, which remain extremely solid but are more enjoyable in a live setting. So it's hard to make recommendations to a beginner. Of course Doomsday is the mandatory entry, then Drift and High, and everything since the awesome The Cold is to be tried at least once if you are in a powerful, melodic, crunchy heavy metal mood. All albums feature at least one mega-hit, some of them are entirely made of hits. With Metal Church and Agent Steel, Flotsam And Jetsam rule! Remove brackets and unzip: [speed metal forever] !ZER Flotsam And Jetsam ZER!

New, old and reload: Rotten Sound, Tank, Raw Power, Overkill, 3 Way Cum, Flotsam And Jetsam, Anthrax, Death Angel

New & old releases and a CD reload:


Rotten Sound - Napalm, 2010
New obliterating mcd with 3 songs plus 3 early Napalm Death covers, and a terrorizing live DVD. More grinding madnessssssssssssssssss!!!
All ROTTEN SOUND


Tank - War Machine (digi w/2 bonus), 2010
Unbelievable! A new Tank album in 2010! Unbelievable! Without any original member, not even Algy Ward (but the 2 guitarists from the This Means War era)! It's like Motörhead without Lemmy, and it does not sound like Tank but like Saxon! That said, what an awesome heavy metal record! The singer is Doogie White from the 90s version of Rainbow. It just does totally sound like Saxon, so if the 20 Saxon albums are not enough, get this one!
All TANK


Raw Power - Resuscitate, 2010
ARGH! Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition and nobody ever expected a new Raw Power studio album! Yet here it is, the great follower to "Still screaming after 20 years". It's not as intense as the classic trio of Screams From The Gutter-Wop Hour-Mine To Kill (one of the greatest crossover discs of all time!!!), but very enjoyable indeed. Plenty of old school hardcore punk and 3 re-recordings of old songs (find out which ones !) plus a "I wanna be your dog" cover, nice job!
All RAW POWER (dead links reloaded)


Overkill - Iron Bound, 2010

Feel The Fire, 1985

Fuck You And Then Some, 1988
Overkill are among the classic bands whose first releases I loved, and then I lost interest in their following output, and then they come up with and incredibly strong metal attack - Iron Bound!! Feel The Fire is the eternal thrash classic, and Iron Bound is a groovekillmachine of similar facture, just louder!!! OVERKILLLLL!!! I shall now try again all the albums in between these two masterpieces...


3 Way Cum - Killing The Life + Battle Of Opinion, 1995/1996

Classic 90s crust thrash! When you heard too much Warcollapse in one day, 3 Way Cum let you pursue the death tar diet.
All 3 WAY CUM


Flotsam And Jetsam - The Cold, 2010

Flotsam And Jetsam - Doomsday For The Deceiver (+ 2 demo tracks), 1986
Flotsam And Jetsam - Doomsday For The Deceiver 20th anniversary edition (+ 5 demo tracks), 1986/remixed in 2006
Same remark as Overkill. Completely forgot about them after the classic Doomsday, and then BAM! they hit you behind the skull with a monumental 2010 album. The Cold is a tour de force of catchy yet dark metal that rocks from start to finish. With the feeling of Life Of Agony's latest rocking studio record from 2005, a lot of up to date thrash metal and a host of melodic hooks, MASTERPIECE!!!!
Oh yeah this is the band that Jason Newsted was extracted from to join Metallica. The Cold buries any post-1986 Metallica, nothing else matters.


Death Angel - Relentless Retribution, 2010
Oh yeah c'est the new Death Angel! They're back with the fire and class of the last two studio albums, huge groove, lots of thrash, top notch musicianship and brain-engraving hooks. This is the kind of stuff that makes me want to hear more old guys doing new records (instead of new guys trying to do old records). Amazing!
All DEATH ANGEL


Anthrax - Fistful Of Metal, 1984
Aaaah yesssssss, the classic of classics! I never really liked their other discs, but this one is the ultimate ripper!!!

CD rip of everything.

Sorry for the slow posting these days, there are many other things going on... but no, no zertirement in sight! Too old, too cold!

Par exemple le nouveau Roger Mag dont la ponte est prévu avant Noël - et en attendant voici Roger Mag TV en internexclusivité!!!
