Jamey Jasta

Jamey Jasta (born James Shanahan on August 7, 1978) is the vocalist of Hatebreed as well as side projects Icepick and Kingdom of Sorrow. Prior to forming Hatebreed, he was the singer of Jasta 14, a Connecticut hardcore band, hence the moniker Jamey Jasta. Jasta is a very active proponent of the hardcore punk and metalcore movements. In addition to fronting Hatebreed, Jasta owns and runs the record label Stillborn Records and hosts Headbanger's Ball on MTV2; however, in recent months, the show has solely focused on music videos, and Jasta has not appeared for quite some time. His side project, Kingdom of Sorrow, expects to release its debut album in 2007.
