HATEBREED frontman Jamey Jasta is back with a brand new JASTA music video for the song “Suicidality”, which features special guest Phil Demmel (KERRY KING, MACHINE HEAD, VIO-LENCE). The song is taken from the upcoming “And Jasta For All” album, which will arrive digitally on May 17. The clip, which was shot by Alex Zaranak at The Rave / Eagles Club during Milwaukee Metal Fest in 2023, can be seen below.
“And Jasta For All” features additional guest appearances by Scott Ian (ANTHRAX),Chuck Billy (TESTAMENT),Steve “Zetro” Souza (EXODUS) and Joey Concepcion (ARCH ENEMY).
Jamey comments: “Fan funded, four years in the making, got to work with my thrash heroes and couldn’t be happier with this album. It’s ALL RIPPERS, NO SKIPPERS! Play it loud!”
“And Jasta For All” guitarist Charlie Bellmore (TOXIC HOLOCAUST, DEE SNIDER, MANY EYES) adds: “Jamey asked me to write ‘a few thrash songs’ quite a while ago, and over the years they slowly grew into a remarkable love letter to thrash metal. Jamey, Nicky and myself busted our butts to make a serious ripper of an album, and Jamey delivered some of his best vocal performances of his career on this. I can’t wait for everyone to crank this up!!!”
