Jamey Jasta of Hatebreed and Kingdom of Sorrow fame will be releasing his first solo record, simply titled Jasta, on July 26 via eOne Music.
The album has been many years in the making, as Jasta began recording tracks for the album in 2008.
"They didn't really fit with Hatebreed or Kingdom of Sorrow," he says, "plus those recipes are so successful that I wouldn't want to try and change them or switch them around.
