About their latest single, the epic album opening track “A New Kind of Hero”, guitarist Michael Gilbert says: “People have been asking us what this song, “A New Kind of Hero,” is all about. Well, here’s the short version: the old hero is gone. It’s a new era, and that calls for a new kind of hero. This new hero is a little bit different than what you’re expecting…”

In an increasingly fast-paced world that appears to be interested only in the latest innovations, FLOTSAM AND JETSAM continue to be the proverbial rock in turbulent waters. 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 “Doomsday For The Receiver”, FLOTSAM AND JETSAM have delivered an impressive number of awesome offerings.

Friday 13th, September 2024 will see the release of their 15th studio album “I Am The Weapon” on AFM/Believe, a recording that more than deserves its self-confident title. “I Am The Weapon” not only takes up seamlessly where its two outstanding predecessors “The End Of Chaos” (2019) and “Blood In The Water” (2021) left off, but also goes one step further in terms of musical skill and composition. “We`re very excited to unleash this album onto the metal community,“ states singer Erik AK Knutson. “We took our time, and crafted an album that everyone of us in the band is happy with. We went through a ton of songs and ideas to end up with the final choices for this record.”

“I Am The Weapon” was composed and produced by the whole band and the eleven songs were recorded at SonicPhish Productions, Gnome Lord Studios, Wayne Manor Studios, and Seventh Spike Studios. The cover artwork was again created by Andy Pilkington.
