Heavy metal vocalist Jamey
Jasta (born James Shanahan) is the
lead vocalist of the metalcore band Hatebreed,
the sludge metal band Kingdom of Sorrow,
and the hardcore punk band Icepick. He released a solo
album entitled Jasta in 2011. He also
owns Stillborn Records, a hardcore and metal-based record label in his native
West Haven, Connecticut, and a rock themed apparel line called Hatewear. Jasta was the host for MTV's Headbanger's Ball from 2003-2007, and this summer launched his newest venture, interviewing metal and
punk icons on a weekly podcast called The
Jasta Show.
Jasta recruited a pickup band and appeared as the opening
act for the Misfits at Irving Plaza tonight. The bottom line -- the four-piece band played crunching
metal well, but Jasta sang poorly. He sounded better when he growled. Nevertheless,
as a front man, he entertained and rallied the crowd with his spunky attitude,
while the band ripped into heavy rock riffs. The industrial and rapcore
influenced "Mourn the Illusion" from his solo album was possibly the
most interesting song of the set.
