1540 - Flotsam and Jetsam Escape from Within 1988

"No Place for Disgrace" is a 1988 thrash and speed metal album by Flotsam and Jetsam and their second studio album. This marked the band's first album release through a major label, Elektra Records, and was also their first album with the bass guitarist Troy Gregory, who had replaced Jason Newsted when the latter left the band in 1986 to join Metallica. "Escape from Within" is one of the album's two standouts, slowly building from its melodic intro into full-on thrashing intensity, gliding toward an apparent finale, then exploding again.

1039 - Flotsam & Jetsam Metalshock 1986

Flotsam & Jetsam´s album, "Doomsday for the Deceiver", attempts both short bursts of thrashing intensity ("Desecrator," "Iron Tears") as well as extended, multi-part epics (this "Metalshock" and the title track).

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.

343 - Flotsam and Jetsam Hammerhead 1986

One of the best US Metal albums of all times is the debut of Flotsam and Jetsam, "Doomsday For The Deceiver". Crowned by passionate vocals of Erik A.K, and the bass lines of Mr. Jason Newsted, we find tracks such as this furious "Hammerhead". The sound on the live release is not good, better listen to the studio cuts and enjoy a legendary band.

119 - Flotsam & Jetsam Doomsday For The Deceiver 1986

Songs such as this one can make anybody love metal, the nine minute-plus title track is the best cut on "Doomsday For The Deceiver" , largely due to guitarist Michael Gilbert's very tasteful guitar intro, beginning with acoustical guitars, then rising into the highest of highs. Overall. This is an key record for fans of early thrash metal.

56 - Flotsam & Jetsam She Took an Axe 1986

One of the best US Power Metal albums of all times is the debut of FLOTSAM & JETSAM, "Doomsday For The Deceiver". Such great songs as they can be found here on this one album a lot of bands won't be able to create in their whole career. We have a token with "She Took An Axe" and its brilliant riffs and passionate vocals of Erik A.K., Jason Newsted plays the bass.
