453 - Flotsam and Jetsam Iron Tears 1986

The timing of Jason Newsted's departure from Flotsam and Jetsam to join Metallica in late 1986 had a double-edged effect on the Arizona band: They'd lost a key member mere months after their debut was released, but on the other hand, waves of curious Metallibashers scurried to record stores to hear that band with the funny name, and were treated to a real gem from the American thrash era.
"Doomsday for the Deceiver" had everything we were looking for in a metal band in the 80's; thrashing aggression on the contagious "Iron Tears", which has singer Eric A.K. in full-on power metal shriek mode.
