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.

RNRU : If Ritchie were to call you and say, "Hey, I'd like to put Rainbow back together," would you be willing to do it?

BR : I don't know, I'd have to see what I'm doing at the time. I didn't get that close so I don't have to worry about it. I'm really not a good "What if?" kind of guy. I'm like, when it happens, it happens.
