Flotsam & Jetsam have recently confirmed the first wave of club and festival dates for their upcoming 2015 European tour that's scheduled to start in May and run through August. This tour will mark the band's return to Europe, coming off the heels of 2013's Ugly Noise and last year's re-recording of the band's 1988 classic No Place For Disgrace. Initially set to start in April, the tour was pushed out a month to May in order to allow the band time to continue writing for their new 2015 release that will feature new drummer, Jason Bittner (Shadows Fall, Anthrax), who joined the band in late 2014.

The Human Condition - Flotsam & Jetsam Vocalist Joins Project Of Sacred Reich Guitarist

Vocalist Eric AK of the legendary Flotsam & Jetsam has joined The Human Condition.

The Human Condition performed a surprise five song set at the Nino Notaro Memorial Concert on Feb, 20th at Club Stratus in Phoenix, Arizona. It had been a well kept secret that guitarist Wiley Arnett (Sacred Reich) and Eric (Flotsam & Jetsam) had joined forces.

Flotsam & Jetsam were scheduled to share a stage with Sacred Reich for the first time in nearly 18 years, about 1,500 of Arizona's core metal family members all came together to celebrate the life of Nino Notaro. For the unenlightened, Nino was an amazingly talented sound engineer that worked with both bands over the years. The event raised money for Nino's daughter "Sophie'" to start an education fund. THC felt it would be cool to debut the new line up at this special event.

When THC initially took the stage metal heads in attendance seemed a bit confused to see Wiley strap on his guitar and Eric begin checking the mic. THC drummer Muley counted off three stick clicks and they were off, by the second song it was clear there was a new band out of Arizona to consider.

With the addition of Eric AK on Vocals and Johnny Urwin on Bass, THC has returned to the scene with renewed vigor. Anyone that witnessed the debut performance would agree that THC is fresh, relevant and rooted in a bit of metal history.

The band is busy writing and has added a 6th song to their set list since the show.

More info about the band on http://www.myspace.com/thehumancondition.
