Sonic Perspectives
EXCELLENT Despite I wish the album was more abundant in the slower thrash-oriented moments department, "The End of Chaos" is a ruthless declaration of calculated guitar riffs, eruptions of velocity combined with doomy bass lines, irritated vocal lines and unforgiving high-class drumming, all of the above hardened with a crystal-clear mix and production to boot.

Angry Metal Guy
That being said, Flotsam and Jetsam have delivered an album in the top end of their discography.
-
Distorted Sound
Nevertheless, The End of Chaos is not inherently a bad album, it poses no threat to FLOTSAM AND JETSAM’s legacy and is solid enough to appease their long-term fans.
-
Metal Wani
With Flotsam & Jetsam’s new album ‘The End of Chaos’, the band have again constructed a fresh batch of songs that in honesty don’t stray too far from the band’s established NWOBHM-influenced thrash pallet, but at the same time will definitely be enough to satisfy long time fans of F&J.

All that Shreds
They put out great, quality music every album and there’s hardly any filler. A good example is there upcoming release, The End Of Chaos.

Get Ready to Rock
I can safely say that “The End Of Chaos” is one of the best albums ever released by this, sadly, criminally underrated band!

Flotzilla is back! Ripping leads, breakneck rhythms. Keeping thrash frantic.

My Global Mind
If this album is any indication, 2019 could be a great year for thrash, and either way, it proves again that Flotsam and Jetsam still have a lot left in them, so hopefully, they can keep the momentum going for a few more albums yet!

The End of Chaos is full of meaning and caustic, riff-driven energy. Flotsam and Jetsam have no intention of letting up.

‘End of Chaos’ gloriously mashes up Thrash, Speed and Power metal and every now and again adds some New Wave Of British Heavy Metal to spice the mix up.

It’s literally all killer no filler which can be exhausting! Listening repeatedly to the album, there is for me no stand out tracks. They all are.

The deluge of History’s loss of memorial unless it suits its purposes is staggering, and one in which we, as keepers of such celebration, should give it sanctuary and bring forth The End of Chaos.

The End Of Chaos hits the mark.
-
The Midlands Rocks
Why Flotsam and Jetsam never entered metal’s top tier shall remain a mystery but it has allowed them to operate with a degree of autonomy and produce consistently good work without pandering to fads and trends. And on the evidence of The End of Chaos this is just the beginning.

The End of Chaos isn't bad, this band is too good and too professional for that. But it could have been better.

My expectations were mixed when first starting this album, but I can gladly say that halfway through the opening track I found myself headbanging and air drumming along with the band.
