Flotsam and Jetsam--Doomsday For the Deceiver

Flotsam and Jetsam--Doomsday For the Deceiver (1986) Rating--6.5

The debut from Flotsam, with a thrashy, Megadeth and somewhat Anthrax-influenced sound. Not as thick and cohesive as on the more recent releases.
A number of tracks are fast paced and above-average pieces, including opener "Hammerhead," "Metalshock," "She Took an Axe," "Der Fuhrer," and "Fade to Black." An acoustic intro gives way to a good pickup in the title song, and "Flotzilla" is a solid and intricate instrumental, reminding of Maiden at times.
In all, towards the bottom as far as the band's own discs are concerned. However, a safe buy for the general thrash fan, or for the F&J fanatic.
TRACK LIST: Hammerhead/Iron Tears/Desecrator/Fade to Black/Doomsday For the Deceiver/Metalshock/She Took an Axe/U.L.S.W./Der Fuhrer/Flotzilla
