The Heavy Metal Mayhem Radio Show has been the purveyor of heavy metal music since 1976. The show airs on Sunday nights at 6 PM, EST and Thursdays at 12 PM, EST. To listen to the show visit this location.

Flotsam And Jetsam recently premiered a lyric video for the new track “Iron Maiden”, featured on the band’s new self-titled album, due for release on May 20th via AFM Records. The clip can be found below.

In addition to being available as a digipak CD, the album will also be available as a limited gatefold 2LP edition in black and gold, both limited to 500 copies.

A limited edition boxset (500 copies) will also be released and includes the digipak, a Flotsam And Jetsam flag (official tour backdrop design), patch, printed autograph card, and certificate of authenticity. Order details can be found at the AFM Records Shop.

The band states about signing with AFM Records: “Flotsam And Jetsam really appreciated the fact that AFM laid out a legitimate, business plan for us when they made their offer to sign us. We believe they are as committed to us as a band, as we are to providing them with quality metal to get behind and promote. Along with signing to a new label, all the forward movement for the band in the last two years has also allowed us to partner with new team members; like Chris Collier of CMC21 Productions, who just completed the mixing and mastering of the album and Andy Pilkington of Very Metal Art out of the UK, for the album cover and stage production art, who are both doing a phenomenal job for us. We’re looking forward to playing the music on this album live, which hasn’t been a luxury for the band on past releases, as well as debuting our new stage look.”

“Iron Maiden” lyric video:

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!”
