Jacknife Set Release

. (Chipster) Jacknife to Release Moment of Reckoning September 6, 2005 "We don't have any gimmicks, we just get up there and play," says vocalist Joe Ortiz of Jacknife. Hailing from Dallas, TX, Jacknife's sound can best be described as "Texas style brutality" and the band wastes no time showing listeners why they are the future of extreme music from the Lone Star state. To call their brand of musical destruction "metalcore" would be an understatement; Jacknife blends the best elements of the metal and hardcore genres seamlessly on their full length debut album Moment Of Reckoning, which is set for release on September 6, 2005 on Zero-Sum Recordings.

With a rabid regional following, Jacknife has worked their way onto bills with some of the biggest names in metal and hardcore under the sun, including Slayer, Killswitch Engage, Lamb Of God, Agnostic Front and Machine Head. Jacknife has just completed a national U.S. tour with MOD and Crisis. Jacknife have planned a CD release party for Moment of Reckoning on September 3, 2005 at the Curtain Club in Dallas, TX.
