With nearly four decades on the scene, countless world tours, and appearances at prestigious festivals like Wacken, Graspop, Bloodstock, Alcatraz, and Rockhard, they\u0092ve carved their sound down to a fine point, piercing listeners with earth-shattering blast beats, scorching guitars, epic string arrangements, and exalted frontman A.K. Knutson\u0092s unmistakably haunting wail.<\/p>\n
As the temple is besieged by vermin, FLOTSAM AND JETSAM line the walls with grim tales of death, abuse, betrayal, and war, inviting listeners into a dark world not too distant from our own. Rats In The Temple opens strong with the stadium-ready hooks and dizzyingly precise performances of “Harvesting The Hate\u0094 and \u0093Damnation\u0094, before delving into thrash virtuosity on \u0093Absolution\u0094. The iconic guitar duo of Michael Gilbert and Steve Conley paint vividly ghoulish images on tracks like \u0093Blame The Knife\u0094 and \u0093Rats In the Temple\u0094, then continue to flex their metal muscle on \u0093The Ghost Behind My Door\u0094 and \u0093First on the Spike\u0094, invoking pure first-wave excellence with a pummeling modern menace. \u0093The Edge of Nowhere\u0094 builds inescapable suspense before firing listeners out of a gun, full throttle into \u0093Last Rites,\u0094 another standout track for the band. The legendary rhythm duo of drummer Ken Mary and bassist Bill Bodily take center stage on the anti-war anthem \u0093A Taste For War,\u0094 their methodical syncopation invoking images of tanks and boots on the ground. \u0093Her Blood Your Pain\u0094 brings ornate, medieval guitarmonies before \u0093Anthem For The Broken\u0094 goes full balls to the wall, and \u0093Going Down That Way\u0094 hits listeners with heavy riffs and even heavier truths. Rats In The Temple remains enthralling throughout, giving listeners entry to numerous of the band’s metal chambers, sampling a refined and eclectic serving of influences.<\/p>\n
Churning like magma beneath the Earth, FLOTSAM AND JETSAM have only been growing more and more fiery with time, and Rats In The Temple sees the band exploding to the surface in a magnificent and awe-inspiring blaze. For fans new and longstanding, you cannot escape them; they’re through the walls. <\/p>\n
