ION VEIN Part Ways With Label

March 10, 2006

Chicago-based prog/power metallers ION VEIN have parted ways with the U.K.'s Now and Then Records. The groups's mainman Chris Lotesto commented, "What could have been a very promising relationship ending up being nothing more than a complete joke! We still have no idea what happened with our last album, 'Reigning Memories', as the label would never divulge ANY information to us and then dropped off the face of the earth. I guess they are out of the business from what second-hand information I can gather but the last thing we expected was for them to turn out to be yet another useless piece of music business shit. Oh well…"

ION VEIN have begun recording their third album at Rax Trax Studios in Chicago, with producer Neil Kernon once again manning the helm. Lotesto said, "We are very happy to be working with Neil again. Things are absolutely crushing so far! We have finally come into our own with a much heavier, in-your-face sound that we hope will finally shed all the comparisons and classifications. We will be searching for a new label home once the recording is complete so there is no timeframe at this point for a release date."

You can catch ION VEIN opening for LOUDNESS on March 22 at Joe's in Chicago and also at Chicago Powerfest on April 7-8 at Mr. Kelley’s in Chicago Heights, Illinois along with MORGANA LEFAY, NOCTURNAL RITES, ELDRITCH, BIOMECHANICAL, AGENT STEEL, TWELFTH GATE, GRACEPOINT, MIRROR BLACK and WITHERING SOUL.
