Episode #415 of Radioactive Metal features the newest instalment of the Album Autopsy series, celebrating the 30th anniversary celebration of Flotsam And Jetsam’s Doomsday For The Deceiver.

“Joining Roch and Snowy are (guitarist) Michael Gilbert and (vocalist) Eric “AK” Knutson. We discuss everything about this landmark album: the songwriting process, how the band got signed to Metal Blade, working in the studio with Brian Slagel, and the release of the album. We also discuss every track as well as the technical aspects of recording some of the songs. As a bonus feature, Bill Metoyer talks to Roch about his experience working as an engineer on this album.”

German metal legends Destruction will join forces with Flotsam And Jetsam, Enforcer, and Nervosa for the Europe Under Attack 2016 tour, set to launch in Switzerland in September.

Flotsam And Jetsam comments: “This tour is going to be an absolute thrash fest! Flotsam And Jetsam is honoured to support the legendary Destruction, one of the strongest thrash bands to ever come out of Europe. We can t think of anything better for this fall than getting back to our friends and fans in Europe for a month, hitting the stage and the streets with Schmier, Mike, and Vaaver, the Enforcer crew, and Fernanda and the women of Nervosa, night after night. If that doesn't sound like trouble, we don't know what does!”
