Flotsam And Jetsam guitarist Michael Gilbert recently told BraveWords that the band's follow-up to last year's The End Of Chaos is "pretty much done". The record is reportedly due for release next year. More news coming soon.

Gilbert commented: "It's like an assembly line kind of thing - we try to have 10 or 12 keepers, but if something pops out that's better, we'll take whatever the worst one is and shuffle it away, put it on the shelf for another time. We don't want to have any sleeper tracks on the record at all.

"We're trying to maintain consistency with our records now. We've been all over the map for so many years, and now we're starting to write, ever since the self-titled record, from The End Of Chaos to the next one, they're going to have titles that are kind of related. Drift was kind of an experiment for us, we were all over the map, it was so different from our very first record Doomsday For The Deceiver. If you listen to them both next to each other you would say it isn't even the same band. So if you listen to these three, including the one we're writing right now, the most current records, you're gonna say this is definitely all the same band. Even though all the songs are different, you can tell. We're not sticking to the same formula or anything like that - a lot of bands have a formula that they stick to and they always sound the same - and they're always successful and they never let their fans down. For me, that's kind of boring."
