Flotsam And Jetsam came heavy and unleashed on Baltimore. They were firing on all cylinders and let you know exactly why they've been a top player in the thrash scene for thirty years.

Opening with "The Incantation" and "Monkey Wrench," off their 2016 self-titled record, the energy was felt. Heavy riffs and pounding drums have always been a staple of Flotsam And Jetsam. "Dreams Of Death" followed and lead right into "Hammerhead" and the always bloody "She Took An Axe" from Doomsday For The Deceiver. 

"I Live You Die" and "Iron Maiden" kept the energy high and "No Place For Disgrace" brought the set to a close. A very strong performance with the only downer being that due to FaJ being the tour support their set was on the shorter side. 

Currently touring with Sweden's HammerFall, Flotsam And Jetsam are also preparing for the release of their latest record, The End Of Chaos, due out November 9th.
