Happy New Year, everyone, we hope it’s a very healthy, happy, and prosperous one for all of you! We’re definitely looking forward to bringin’ the VEIN to you, harder and stronger than ever in 2010!

With that being said, we’ve had to make a few adjustments in the IV family to help us do just that….and, of course, the January 29th show that was scheduled at Shark City in Glendale Heights, IL, has been canceled, sorry for any inconvenience.

The search for a killer vocalist begins again.
Ion Vein regrets to announce that we had to part ways with the lead singer whom we’ve been working with on our new album, as it became apparent that we have different approaches to achieving our goals. Good luck to you.

Saying goodbye to our longtime brother and bassist Brian Gordon.
Additionally, we regretfully must announce that Brian is no longer with the band and will be pursuing other musical projects. This was indeed a very tough decision for us, one that we deliberated on for some time, but in the end, we believe it to be the best resolution for all of us.

Chris and Chuck want to thank Brian for his many contributions to Ion Vein, including the Reigning Memories andBeyond Tomorrow albums, and the energy he brought to our live shows.

Our fans know that we have been band mates and, more importantly, friends with Brian for a long time and have done some amazing things together. We wish him the best. Rock on!

Always looking ahead, we’ll begin the next chapter by launching a search for a new vocalist to front Ion Vein, and new bassist to “carry the low,” and be back in the studio and on stage better than ever! Until then, you can always reach us here, on Twitter, Myspace, and on Facebook.

As always, thanks for your continued support. You guys are the best!

See you soon! \m/
