Flotsam and Jetsam 06/10/2016 Manchester O2 Club Academy Set List:
Flotsam and Jetsam are a Thrash Metal band from the USA and are one of the bands that helped shape the Thrash Metal genre in the mid 80’s. Flotsam and Jetsam are currently touring in support of their latest eponymous album, Flotsam and Jetsam released this year on AFM Records. Flotsam and Jetsam are currently touring Europe with Enforcer, Nervosa and Destruction and was the penultimate band to play after Nervosa and Enforcer. Once more, the turnaround between Enforcer and Flotsam and Jetsam was exceptionally with the band ready to go almost instantly. The set begins with Seventh Seal, the Book of Revelations themed opening track from Flotsam and Jetsam before launching into what vocalist Eric A.K. Knutson describes as: ‘the old shit’ from their first two albums, Dreams of Death and Hammerhead. The sound level problems which plagued Nervosa and especially Enforcer had eased by now and Flotsam and Jetsam sounded fantastic, effortlessly sliding new tracks such as Monkey Wrench and the brilliant Life is a Mess from Flotsam and Jetsam in amongst classics such as Desecrator and Hammerhead. Flotsam and Jetsam are sometimes more overlooked than they actually should be, but tonight, they owned the stage and it was a shame that having four bands on constrained a set from Flotsam and Jetsam that should have been longer. This however, is a main criticism of the night, all 4 bands were that good that it was a shame for them to be limited the way that they were. As stated previously, Enforcer seemed like a bit of an odd choice, but Flotsam and Jetsam brought the Thrash back and it was well received by young and old fans alike easily helping to build up to the climactic finale for Destruction.
