2013, The pursuit of heaviness has fueled Jason Newsted for over 30 years. As an integral component of Metallica, Flotsam And Jetsam, Voivod, Ozzy Osbourne's touring band and countless other fan and critical favorites, he's among the metal world's most fearless adventurers. Now, the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame inductee and six-time Grammy winner is charting new territory - for the first time fronting his own band, the explosive power quartet Newsted. Matching and exceeding the teaser EP METAL, Newsted's debut full-length assault, HEAVY METAL MUSIC, is likewise short on pretense and long on crushing riffs. From the throwback Sabbathian strut of ,,Ampossible", the breakneck gallop of ,,Long Time Dead", or the full speed ahead charge of breakout single ,,Above All", the eleven-song album is sure to cement the band's place as one of metal's strongest outfits. Staind guitarist Mike Mushok joins an already impressive fold with Jason on bass and lead vocals, guitarist Jessie Farnsworth and drummer Jesus Mendez Jr.
