"Metal Zone"hostNikki Blakkof the San Francisco, California radio station107.7 The Boneconducted an interview withJamey JastaofHATEBREEDandKINGDOM OF SORROWat the third annualRevolver Golden Gods Awards, which was held on Wednesday, April 20 at Club Nokia in downtown Los Angeles, California. The chat can now be viewed below.

Jastawill release his solo album, simply titled"Jasta", on July 26 viaeOne Music. The CD will be made available in Europe one day earlier throughCentury Media Records.

During an interview with Metal Assault, Jamey states about his upcoming solo album, "It's just more of the thrash and rock element in it. I think there's a lot more clean singing than I'm used to doing. It's a lot of stuff that I recorded for other artists, but it ended up sounding cool so I just left it in there. My engineer was really liking the stuff that I was doing. I still have a lot of guest parts on there -Randy BlythefromLAMB OF GOD,Zakk Wylde,Phil Labonte[of ALL THAT REMAINS],TimfromAS I LAY DYING,Mark MortonfromLAMB OF GOD- so it's just like a fun project before we do the nextHATEBREEDalbum."

"I did all of it by myself, except for the guest parts. I did it all throughout 2008, 2009 and 2010 so it was fun to go back, listen to those old tracks and go, 'These are still good, let's release them!' I'm just very lucky that I'm in a position to be able to do this and I'm grateful that the eOne label is giving it such a great push."

When asked if the release of his solo album will impact songwriting for the nextHATEBREEDCD,Jameyreplied, "No, not at all. Actually that's why I wanted to get it out now because the nextHATEBREEDalbum is going to be short, to the point and brutal, and there will be no melody. This is my one chance to kind of get it out of the system."

Regarding whether he plans to tour behind the solo material,Jameysaid, "I don't see myself doing a lot of touring for this at all. I'd like to, but I really want to focus on gettingHATEBREEDout for the rest of the year. We'll be going to South America, Australia, then we'll do Europe and the States again so it's going to be a lot of touring. Plus the only time to seeKINGDOM OF SORROWis this summer on theRockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival. That is the only time you'll see me andKirk[Windstein,KINGDOM OF SORROWguitarist] together becauseDOWNis going to be busy,CROWBARwill be busy, andHATEBREEDtoo. So this is it."
