Jamey Jasta announces solo album

Damn, I’m being imagnative with my topic titles today, I must say. So can you guess what this news is about? That’s right, in order to dilute the news of Spineshank finishing work on their comeback album, I thought to myself “why not post something positive?” So here I am, finding Metal news from elsewhere and reposting it for the awesome readers of Dose of Metal, and this time it’s in regards to Jamey Jasta.

The member of such great bands as Hatebreed, Icepick, and Kingdom Of Sorrow, has revealed details of a solo album, possibly to be released at some point this year.

Speaking to UGO.com, Jasta reveals “I just finished the JASTA album. The album is basically songs I’ve written over the last 2-3 years that didn’t fall into any sort of set category as far as genre. I guess you could say it has elements of metal, hard rock, hardcore and punk in it, but it’s kind of a wide variety of tunes. I just had fun with it and I did some collaborations and co-wrote some stuff which was fun. Hopefully it’ll come out in June of this year! I’ll probably leak a song or two at some point on http://www.twitter.com/jameyjasta”

Young kids and instruments

My ears! My ears!!! This kid starts with a small intro, only I can’t understand anything he’s saying… Then he starts playing the bass, and by playing I mean torturing, because the sounds that are coming out of that bass are the musical equivalent of “HELP! GET ME OUT OF HERE”

Also, get a better camera! Although scratch that, it would mean clearer audio of that atrocity.

My rating:

Spineshank reveal album details

Man the lifeboats, women and children first, and for God’s sake, cover your ears. Nu/Industrial Metallers from the late 90s/early 00s, Spineshank, have revealed the details of the forthcoming album, Anger Denial Acceptance, now scheduled for a late 2011 release.

I assume from the album’s title, that the band will be returning from where they left off. According to guitarist Mike Sarkisyan though, I’m assuming wrong, as he claims the album will be more mature. Oh joy…

Blast from the Past: Black Sabbath – Heaven and Hell

Towards the end of the 1970s, Black Sabbath were in a real turmoil. The band had been falling apart for years, with addiction consuming Ozzy and the band, and as a result of the band’s problems, the quality of the music was dramatically taking a dive. After the release of 1978’s poorly received Never Say Die, as stated by Iommi, ironically the band were actually dying. Ozzy was fired and everyone assumed the band would end.

As we all know though, the band didn’t end, and instead, with the help of Ronnie James Dio, they went on to release a new album, known as Heaven and Hell. I’m here to take an objective and honest hard look at the album and deliver to you a review on the 1980 album. How does it compare to the Ozzy albums? Read my review after the jump.

Review: Debauchery – Germany’s Next Death Metal

Remember last week, when I reviewed the Six Feet Under concert I went to, that also included Debauchery on the lineup? On that very day, I also bought Debauchery’s new album ‘Germany’s Next Death Metal.’ I just didn’t get around to review it yet but today’s the day!

For those of you who aren’t yet familiar with Debauchery, I wrote an in-depth Incoming article about Debauchery, including sound examples of each album, in February.

We also interviewed the band’s mainman Thomas Gurrath twice for the site, so I think it’s fairly obvious that I’m really into this band. Make the jump to read what I make of their new album.
