Veteran Phoenix thrashers, Flotsam And Jetsam, recently announced the addition of drummer Jason Bittner of Shadows Fall, to take over for Kelly Smith, who left to focus on family matters.
Flotsam And Jetsam began tracking their new album on March 13th, with Bittner wrapping the drum tracking on March 16th. Check out footage from Jason’s tracking sessions below:
The band have announced the first wave of confirmed club and festival dates for their upcoming 2015 European tour, scheduled to start in May and run through August. This tour will mark the bands' return to Europe, coming off the heels of 2013's Ugly Noise and last year’s re-recording of the band’s 1988 classic No Place For Disgrace, which brought the band extensively through the US and Europe during 2013-2014.
