"We’re looking forward to bringing our headline show to Europe next year, with us doing at least 80 minutes a night of Flotsam classics, as well as fan favorites, off the new album.

Flotsam And Jetsam previously announced the first batch of US dates for a year-end headliner continuing the Touring The Forbidden Territories Tour 2016/17. The band is supporting their critically acclaimed self-titled album, released last May on AFM Records, which is already destined for many as one of the top metal albums of the year. Joining Flotsam on the run will be old and new friends in the form of Texas’ old-schoolers Helstar (who just released a new album, Vampiro, on EMP) and Bay Area thrash metal upstarts Hatchet.

“After a few missed attempts this year due to unforeseen circumstances beyond our control, we can finally announce some dates around the country,” states drummer Jason Bittner. “We are very excited to get out with this package and THRASH through the United States, playing material from our new album, fan favorites, as well as celebrating the 30 year anniversary of the Doomsday For The Deceiver album.”
