Travis Smith again supplies the stunning artwork.  Its not until second track “Take” that we get to see the new style in full swing complimenting Eric A.K.’s unique powerful vocals. Now Eric really outdoes himself on this release, taking himself and the band to a new level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMusically while taking a more modern slant, the band still manage to maintain their personality and are not afraid to mix up the old and new. Riffs recycled from the 80’s sit nicely along side Nevermore-esque rumble. Solos are abundant throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany older bands in recent times have failed to successfully reinvent themselves, become irrelevant to their original fan base or have never been able to top their first few releases. In Flotsam and Jetsam’s case, all three of these points apply, which is what makes “The Cold” so much more satisfying. That a band can come out some 25 years later, after suffering all the setbacks, all the failed expectation and deliver an album this good and this fresh is inspirational.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you like your Thrash Metal and appreciate a well executed tune then you can not go past this release.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Produced, recorded and mixed in Phoenix, Az at Phase Four Studios (a.o.
