The one-time host of MTV2's Headbanger's Ball Jasta has recorded these tracks on and off for the last few years and since he has been busy with his many projects and touring.

Randall Blythe (Lamb of God), Mark Morton (Lamb of God) and Zakk Wylde.

Jamey's band Hatebreed just closed out the New England Metal and Hardcore Festival #13 this past weekend with a blistering 20 song set. Jamey promised fans from the stage at the end of the show that Hatebreed will return later this year with a new album followed by a lot of touring.

Arguably the hardest working musician in metal, Kirk Windstein will have a busy 2011. We can reveal that he has tours for each of his projects. Crowbar, Down and Kingdom of Sorrow will all hit the road in 2011. All of these projects are excellent. They showcase Kirk's one of a kind sludge riffs yet each band sounds different than the others.
