Jamey Jasta Explores a NEW Facet as a Musician with his Solo Album!

Hatebreed and Kingdom Of Sorrow front-man Jamey Jasta is never busy enough and is always searching for the next musical high. His latest adventure finds Jasta joining forces with various top notch Heavy Music musicians and presenting to the masses his debut solo album titled "Jasta". When we first talked to Jasta about this new project, he made it very clear that it all came to life when he realized that he had written a ton of good songs that didn't fit with the sounds of Hatebreed and/or Kingdom Of Sorrow.

While some may say that he is simply releasing a new project because of the money, we couldn't disagree more. The whole album is a very honest and diverse approach, and thanks to musicians like Zakk Wylde from Black Label Society, Randy Blythe and Mark Morton from Lamb Of God, the album features a potpourri of songs that showcase Jasta experimenting with different singing styles.

In times in which there is a lack of diversity within the Heavy Music world, it is refreshing to be able to listen to an album that takes the listener into various soundscapes right from beginning to the end. If you are a fan of Hatebreed or Kingdom Of Sorrow, listen to the album with an open mind as you will find Jasta not just screaming, but also harmonizing. With this new solo album Jamey Jasta is proving that he is always working on improving his musical craft, which is what makes him a force to be reckoned with.

Track listing:

01. Walk That Path Alone
02. Mourn The Illusion
03. Screams From The Sanctuary
04. Nothing They Say
05. Anthem Of The Freedom Fighter
06. Something You Should Know (Ft. Phil Labonte of All That Remains)
07. Set You Adrift
08. Enslaved, Dead or Depraved (Ft. Randy Blythe of Lamb of God)

11. Heart Of A Warrior (Ft. Mike Vallely)
12. Death Bestowed (Ft. Mark Morton of Lamb Of God)





"It is a little something different for me and I hope you guys dig it. There are a lot of collaborations, a lot of clean vocals, and there are different styles of riffing. It is still heavy and aggressive. There is some screaming, but I tried some different things to change up the recipe a little bit."
