The long and grinding road of Jesters of Destiny can be a difficult trail to follow, but we’ll break it down for you. And in true Jesters’ fashion, let’s do it backwards.
Since their not-so-humble beginning in a recording project from which the earliest Jesters music festered, way back on Halloween 1984, Jesters of Destiny have been helmed by bassist/vocalist Bruce Duff and guitarist Ray Violet. Their latest, Distorting Everything, gestated over a five-year period. Upon the release of their previous crowd-pleaser, The Sorrows That Refuse to Drown, Violet suggested they get right to work on another album. After Duff regained consciousness, he suggested they check with their label, the mighty Ektro Records in Finland, to see if they would even want such a thing. When label-head Jussi Lehtisalo confirmed his enthusiasm, the record was underway as the pair began putting songs together from existing demos and riffs and forging news ones from scratch. Work was done remotely as Duff is in Los Angeles and Dobbins was in Syracuse, NY (he’s now an island guy living in the Caribbean).
On October 25, 2022, They released the amazing “Distorting Everything” an amazing comeback and a great album from Jesters, It was a great pleasure to chat with Ray and Bruce to talk on the new album and much more, Check out the legends on the below YouTube video and enjoy the musical awesomeness by buying Distorting Everything.
