Longevity is a rare feat for any band, especially one with roots in the foundations of metal rock and hardcore.

Aggressive music is often fueled by youthful fire and career sustenance without completely abandoning that urgent sound that is nearly impossible for most bands.

But what is possible for "most bands" has never been a concern for post-hardcore pioneers Flotsam And Jetsam. Flotsam and Jetsam is a thrash metal band formed in Phoenix, Arizona in 1981.

If you're a fan of thrash metal, this year's Flotsam And Jetsam is not one you'll want to miss.
