The American thrash metal band Flotsam & Jetsam originally released their second studio album No Place For Disgrace in 1988. It was their second album in Europe on the mighty Roadrunner Records (it was released by Elektra in the US).

The band was led by frontman and vocalist Eric A.K. Knutson and have been active since the beginning of the Eighties. After releasing their debut album Doomsday For The Deceiver, to great acclaim from the metal community, the band toured relentlessly and plans for a second album were quickly hatched. Doomsday’s follow-up album No Place For Disgrace was produced by Bill Metoyer, who also worked for Slayer, Hirax and Morbid Angel amongst others. The album includes the popular title track, Dreams of Death and a speedy, thrashy version of Elton John’s Saturday Night’s Alright For Fighting.

Three of the included tracks (No Place For Disgrace, N.E. Terror and I Live You Die) were co-written by Jason Newsted, the band’s original bassist, who left at the end of 1986 to join Metallica. Newsted’s replacement Troy Gregory played bass on No Place For Disgrace and its follow-up When The Storm Comes Down. Flotsam & Jetsam are still around, playing shows and festivals around the world.

No Place For Disgrace is available on audiophile black vinyl.
