Thrash metal legends FLOTSAM AND JETSAM are gearing up for the release of their Napalm Records debut record, Rats in the Temple, out this Friday. Today, they offer fans the third and final glimpse of the flames broiling within. "The Edge of Nowhere" builds suspense with eastern scales before firing listeners out of a gun, full throttle through thrash metal excellence. Churning like magma beneath the Earth, FLOTSAM AND JETSAM have only been growing more and more fiery with time, and Rats in the Temple sees the band exploding to the surface in a magnificent and awestriking blaze.

Frontman Eric "A.K." Knutson says about the track:
"'The Edge of Nowhere' is about knowing when to dig your heels into the ground and hold the line. We wanted to write a track that made people feel strong when things get tough. Always speak your mind. Even if 9 times out of 10, it takes you nowhere. You never know when you'll get that one time that pushes you through."

Thrash metal icons FLOTSAM AND JETSAM, known for their trailblazing blend of blistering thrash and soaring power metal—established on breakthrough records like the Kerrang! championed classic Doomsday for the Deceiver, (1986), No Place for Disgrace (1988), and Cuatro (1992) and refined in their current renaissance with the German chart climbing The End of Chaos (2019), Blood in the Water (2021), and I Am the Weapon (2024)—are back with their newest diamond, and Napalm Records debut, Rats in the Temple, out August 28. With nearly four decades on the scene, countless world tours, and appearances at prestigious festivals like Wacken, Graspop, Bloodstock, Alcatraz, and Rockhard, they've carved their sound down to a fine point, piercing listeners with earth-shattering blast beats, scorching guitars, epic string arrangements, and exalted frontman Eric "A.K." Knutson's unmistakably haunting wail.

Frontman Eric "A.K." Knutson about the album:
“This record is a BEAST, truly our best effort to date!! Do yourself a favor. Dim the lights, grab a drink, put the headphones on, and crank this up. You will not be sorry you did!!!"
