When seasoned German guitarist and composer Bernd Basmer launched JesterTrap in 2022, he had one mission: to unleash relentless, hard-hitting Metalcore that sticks with you. On the latest single Pressure, JesterTrap—powered by Basmer’s fierce riffs and the raw vocal energy of UK singer Daniel Picknell—delivers exactly that, pushing emotional and sonic boundaries with every beat.
Basmer, known for his work with Superior and Red Raven, taps into a darker, more aggressive side with JesterTrap. Pressure is a masterclass in tension and release: jagged guitar work, thunderous drums, and Picknell’s impassioned vocals collide to create a sound that’s both punishing and cathartic. It’s clear that this project isn’t just about technical prowess—it’s about tapping into something real and visceral.
What makes JesterTrap’s approach even more exciting is their commitment to momentum. With plans to drop a new track every few weeks, the band is setting a relentless pace that matches the intensity of their sound. Pressure marks another step forward, showcasing a chemistry between Basmer and Picknell that feels sharp, fresh, and ready to take the Metalcore world by storm.
If you crave heavy music that doesn’t hold back, Pressure by JesterTrap deserves a spot on your radar. Stream it now on Spotify and brace yourself for what’s coming next.
