Jasta – Jasta

Releasedate: 25-07-2011; Label: Century Media
By: Elvira Visser

You might know Jamey Jasta from Hatebreed but this time he is presenting a new project. This new project still is all about hardcore and every now and then this album really sounds like Hatebreed. Well that is not weird if you have the same voice on vocals. However pointing out that this is not a solo project, it would be weird as well saying it is when taking a look at the number of guest musicians. He invited a lot of people like for example: Randy Blyth and Mark Morton from Lamb of God or Tim Lambesis from As I Lay Dying. Making sure this will not turn out as a boring album.
The sound, hard, fast and aggressive – the way you expect it.

One of the songs that stay in mind is “Anthem Of The Freedom Fighter” which has quite some catchyness. Jasta wrote this album throughout 2008, 2009 and 2010 creating the right kind of tracks for this album. What is different on this CD is that Jasta is actually singing and not only screaming. Some tracks are also more melodic then aggressive. So this album shows you there is more to hardcore then just screaming and aggression. The collaborations are fun and overal the album turned out very well. Especially those who like this type of hardcore. It is not the most creative album but at the same time it does try out different directions.
