June 21, 2010

Veteran Arizona metallers FLOTSAM AND JETSAM will release their long-awaited new album, "The Cold", on September 14 via Driven Music Group, the label created by former KORN guitarist Brian "Head" Welch.

Songtitles set to appear on the album include "Black Cloud", "Secret Life", "Hypocrite", "Falling Short" and "Take". The cover artwork, which can be viewed below, was once created by Travis Smith (OPETH, NEVERMORE),a collaboration that the band is "extremely excited about because of his amazing skill and vision," says Simpson. "The cover also feature[s] the debut of an up-and-coming new talent."

FLOTSAM AND JETSAM was recently rejoined by guitarist Michael Gilbert after Ed Carlson decided he no longer wanted to tour or record.

FLOTSAM AND JETSAM played for the first time in Athens, Greece on April 12 at the Sin City club.
