If there is a man that has single handily strengthen the Heavy Music scene by going above and beyond to make sure he leaves a worldwide mark, that man is Jamey Jasta (born James Shanahan; August 7, 1977). Not only is he the frontman of Hatebreed, Kingdom Of Sorrow and Icepick, but he is also an excellent role model to all his fans. Ever since he started screaming his lungs out when he was only 13 years old, Jasta has taken his musical career (on and off stage) to a new level of confidence and power!
Today he fronts three bands, he owns his own record label and clothing line, he also produces albums, and most importantly, he is a great father. Anyone who has met Jasta knows that he doesn't take anything from granted, which is why he works day in and day out in perfecting his craft.
Our good friends from Sirius XM Liquid Metal, have invited Jamey Jasta to takeover the satellites and tell you about his past, present and future! Here are all the details:

When Straight Line Stitch was formed in 1999, the bands philosophy was to focus on their musical path and to perfect their craft regardless of the challenges that were thrown at them. After various lineup changes (including two vocalists), Straight Line Stitch found their missing Joker in Alexis Brown, who was able to bring a sonic assault blended with beautiful harmonies. From that moment on the band started making a lot of noise.
While some fans have questioned the evolution of the band since they feel that the band sounds more commercial nowadays, on their latest album titled "The Fight Of Our Lives", the band proves that their musical evolution has placed them in the musical spotlight. As a result their are many within the music industry, including Jamey Jasta (Hatebreed & Kingdom Of sorrow), that believe that this is the band to watch in 2011.
After carefully listening to their brand new album (out today), Straight Line Stitch have proved that their musical evolution has helped them create original sense-full hard hitting music. What really stands out on this record, is Alexis's vocals and the musical variety within the record. While some may say that they are experimenting too much, we believe that the band has carefully crafted a solid album that promises to be the bands most successful album to date. Scheduled to appear at this years Mayhem Fest, the next 6 months should be very interesting for Straight Line Stitch.
Recently, the band performed at The Gramercy Theater in New York City along with Times Of Grace, and we had the chance to interview vocalist Alexis Brown and Straight Line Stitch's founder/guitarist Seth Tacker. During this memorable interview we discussed the past and the present of of the band. Sit back, relax, and throw your HORNS UP!

After the success of the March Metal Beatdown, we have been asked to bring the mayhem back to Brooklyn's Trash Bar! On May 7, 2011 we are joining forces once again with the awesome ladies of Brutal Bitches Productions! Not only do we have 5 amazing live bands that will please your ear drums, but we will also have some amazing live art that will make your jaw drop.
Additionally, the mighty Desolate will be celebrating their 10th year anniversary that same night! Joining Desolate at "The Dark Arts Music Festivus" will be Misery, The Resurrection Sorrow, and Left In Ruins. The event will be hosted by the amazing Alissa Shimansky from Brutal Bitches Productions and DJed by Jo Schüftan of Horns Up Rocks!
Here are all the details:
Lineup: - Desolate (10 Year Anniversary show): While many bands have come and go, while some musicians have risen and fallen, while some artists have given up their careers in music and various venues have shut down. New York City's Desolate has stayed true to the game for 10 years of punishing brutality! Come celebrate their 10th year anniversary!
- Misery: At present time the Heavy Music scene in the tri-state area is going through a revitalizing process, in which we are starting to see more and more bands stepping up their game and getting away from a set formula. One of those bands is Misery, a band that after 10 years of hard work, is finally starting to get the recognition they deserve. After a successful tour with Devildriver, Misery is ready to take over Brooklyn!
- The Resurrection Sorrow: Favoring raw emotion over contrived calculation, the NYC four-piece craft songs of anthemic proportions. Using stone-heavy handed riffing, barbaric percussive destruction and brooding, occult-inspired vocals by singer Alex Dementia, TRS has trademarked a hooking catchiness not easily ignored.
- Left In Ruins: Over the course of the last five years, Left in Ruins has sought long and hard to find the most brutally talented musicians. Throw Luigi Cilento (Vocals/Guitar), Jorge Naranjo (Lead Guitar), Jaymz Delisle (Guitar), and Ben Policello (Drums), into a blender with Iron Maiden, Mastodon, Lamb of God, Slayer, Metallica, Black Sabbath, and Pantera, and you will be left ‘with a ferocious blend of groove-based death metal and thuggish hardcore.’ – Metal Hammer
OLOM: A band that can help redefine the direction of Heavy Metal. In the midst of soaring guitars, thunderous bass lines and gritty lyrics, they are tasteful and unpretentious. This is a group that is not afraid to take risks and fearless of saying the uncomfortable things. At ease with being themselves, OLOM is a psychological representation of all that is Metal. Come check this great band out!
PLUS LIVE ART on stage by accomplished NYC underground Artists: Joey James Hernandez, Lauryn Yovino, and James Groeling. All this artists will also be showcasing their works alongside the dark and evocative Art displays of acclaimed NYC Macabre Artist and Photographer, KING ZOMBIE (Jason Tamvakis), and NYC Graffiti Artist, Joseph Janaro.
Come and witness what promises to be a cornucopia of creative mediums, surely to inspire and stimulate all of your darkest Metal senses. \m/
