You might be asking yourself where the old Ion Vein.com go right? The answer is, gone! We are working on a brand new website and it will be up shortly. For more info on Ion Vein please visit us online at our MySpace site until the new site is fired up.
The new site is going to rock out with plenty of cool new features making Ion Vein.com a bigger online community than it was before! Stuff to come:
- New Photo Galleries
- Streaming music and video
- Tour calendar
- Vein blogs
- Fan interaction
- Better shopping
- And a few more surprises we'll keep you in suspense for.
So pardon our bulldozer for the next few days as we bring the new site online stronger than ever before!
Stay Metal,
Ion Vein
Metal is alive and well! Chicago Powerfest 2008 proved THAT beyond a doubt. The Music was phenomenal, the Pearl Room was packed, the Drinks were cold and the Girls were hot! The pure enthusiasm that was exchanged from stage to audience and back again was affluence of the highest order. Having had the opportunity to meet musicians and fans from across the country and internationally was like slamming 20cc's of Euphoric Bliss ….! From the headliners down to the support acts, the enormous level of talent was dwarfed / shadowed by the obvious desire everyone expressed to be a part of something bigger than self. Being on stage with my new band, Ion Vein, was a blast! Chris, Brian, and Chuck are 3 of the biggest assholes… oops I mean greatest guys I've ever had the opportunity to make music with. You can see that we clearly enjoy making music together. To all the people I had the chance to meet, I cannot express in words forcefully enough the absolute sense of honor I feel to have been a part of your lives. Please know that we are committed to providing you all with the highest quality Metal life has to offer. Powerfest was an experience you must not miss in 2009.
Please visit the site frequently so we can keep up with each other. We will be looking to see you guys at shows throughout the Chicago area this Summer. In closing, thanks to the Gods of Metal and ALL OF YOU!
Musically Yours,
Allen James

We are very pleased to announce
the addition of vocalist Allen James to the band!
Allen brings a wealth of stage and studio experience to the band
as well as a ton of energy and we’re extremely excited to
have him onboard! We started working together back in August last
year and were finally able to get in the studio with Neil in Dec./Jan.
to get vocals down for four tracks to shop. Rather than bore you
with a bunch of hype, we’ll just let the music do the talking….check
out a couple rough mixes here and we’ll see you onstage soon!
As previously reported, we are tracking our third album with producer Neil Kernon (NILE, CANNIBAL CORPSE, NEVERMORE, DEICIDE) at Rax Trax studio in Chicago and will be shopping for a new label home upon completion.
