Jimmy Kay from Canada’s The Metal Voice spoke to Flotsam And Jetsam singer Eric "A.K." Knutson, and guitarists Michael Gilbert and Steve Conley, at this years NAMM show. The band spoke about the lyrical themes behind some of the songs on their new album, The End Of Chaos, as well as the possibility on releasing a live album in the future. Watch below:

Flotsam And Jetsam have entered Germany's GfK Entertainment Charts at #19 with The End Of Chaos, out now via AFM Records.

This is the fourteenth album in their more than 30-year history. "This album kills! It's all five guys with the gas pedal pushed to the floor for the entire album!" states Ken Mary.

"It was cool to have a new element of influence on this album with having Ken's drum parts to partner with and play in and around his playing that also do with the guitars and vocals. Glad to have had Jacob Hansen bringing this album to the overall sound and energy it has, Jacob really highlights AK's vocal melodies, as well as Steve and Michael's songwriting, while the power of the rhythm section drives the songs." - Michael Spencer

The album is available as Digipak, clear orange, gatefold vinyl (ltd. to 450 units), black gatefold vinyl (ltd. To 450 units), ltd. picture vinyl (ltd. to 500 units), gold black splatter gatefold vinyl and limited boxset’s with T-shirts which is available here.

After a successful North American tour earlier this year in support of Sweden’s power metal giants HammerFall, Flotsam And Jetsam will be returning to the road for a trek across North America continuing their Tour Of Chaos 2019.

Flotsam And Jetsam states: "We’re excited to hit North America for a headlining tour next spring in support of our upcoming album release The End Of Chaos. We’ll be following up our March 2019 European tour with Overkill and Destruction, with this 34-show run throughout May/June 2019. Look for us to be playing music from the new album, as well as digging into our catalog to play Flotsam songs that haven’t been in the set for a while, if ever, in our headline set. We’re looking forward to bringing F&J’s metal to the masses, once again!"
