THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HAS WRITTEN ME WITH INSPIRING, THOUGHTFUL AND POSITIVE WORDS. YOU HAVE BELIEVED IN WHAT I DO AND SUPPORTED ME. FOR THAT I AM ETERNALLY GRATEFUL. TAKE CARE.
I sing for 3 bands and try and make music constantly. I run my own clothing line and record label.
From 06 til now I’ve put out 3 different full length album with my 3 bands. Most recently (in Feb of 2008) my side project KINGDOM OF SORROW put out a self titled album on RELAPSE records. Back in April of 06 I put out ICEPICK which is me and my friend Ezec. That album is called "Violent Epiphany" I put it out myself and it was a lot of fun to make. It’s just a fun hardcore metal record with some friends. Check out our myspace profile and look for our video for "Tomorrow Is Not A Promise - Featuring Necro" we hope to re-release the album by the end of 08 with 5 bonus tracks and remixes featuring John Joseph, Ill Bill, Jedi Mind Tricks, Ceekay, Big Left and others.
The other album I released back in August of 2006 was Hatebreed’s 4th studio album. It’s called "Supremacy" and its available through Roadrunner Records. I am really proud of this album because it was a difficult record to make in a sense due to some personal problems that I had faced during 04/05. It’s a very personal record that I hope you can all relate to in some way. It’s about "Supremacy" of one self. Supremacy over the demons and darkness of depression, anxiety, fear, addiction, alienation, doubt and other feelings I have felt. We are STILL touring in support of that record are we’re headed out on th Jager tour in May/June of 08. Come see us!
The next project for me is the HATEBREED live DVD and cover album and then hopefully a solo album
I also just started writing material for the next Icepick album which is more traditional punk/HC and much different from "Violent Epiphany" and I have been working on some really terrifying brutal chaotic songs that I may release as a solo "Jasta" project. If I do decide to do that you will find out about here first or on www.jameyjasta.com

Here is a short FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) section. Please read this BEFORE you message me. Thanks!
1. IS THIS REALLY YOU?
Yes. Look at the photos and blogs. There are other profiles on Mypsace but they are imposters. They are NOT me. My other "official" band, label, clothing line and headbangers ball profiles that I check occasionly are in my TOP FRIENDS. Those pages are run by our web people but I do try and respond when I have time.
2. CAN I SEND YOU A CD OF MY BAND?
By all means. Send it to Stillborn Records P.O. Box 4071 Woodbridge, CT. 06525 - DO NOT SEND PINS, PATCHES, FLYERS, SHIRTS, STICKERS OR ANY OTHER STUFF UNLESS I REQUEST IT! I WOULDN’T WANT YOU TO WASTE IT.
3. WILL YOU SIGN MY BAND?
Ya never know! Send a link to your Myspace page or a CD to the address above.
4. WILL YOU PRODUCE MY ALBUM?
Depends, I have nothing else planned in 2007 production wise because I will be taking time off til the end of the year. If you are signed and REALLY want me to produce, the proper channels need to be gone through email [email protected] or Most likely, your label will know who to contact.
