Happy New Year everyone, here's to a very happy, healthy, and prosperous 2012, we can't wait to come alive and hit the stage once again with all of you in the new year!!

Thanks so much to everyone for helping 2011 finish strong for us with all of the great support for our 3 song DR, IV v1.0, we really appreciate it and still want you to have it for FREE, so please grab it now here http://bit.ly/oek9n6 and tell your friends if you haven't yet. :)

Here is some of the press that IV v1.0 has been getting!

"Guitarist and founder Chris Lotesto writes metal with hair on the chest and the new singer Scott Featherstone has lungs like a grizzly which is perfect for this type of macho metal. This is definitely for metal heads that dig bands like TT Quick, Myofist, Sword and Picture." - Melodic.net

"All three combining the intense energy and flowing melodic play in a forceful and engaging encounter." - RingMaster Review

"Vocals are executed on par with the drums and guitars yielding layers of complexity and depth for the listeners. The closer, Anger Inside, carries to the end what was started in terms of pace and talent. There is real commitment by all members on this and all tracks on 1.0. It is truly a treat for listeners to hear this kind of power and emotion from the artists. It lets us know that they truly value their craft and have something to say." - Alternative Matter

"It may have been a lengthy journey, but Ion Vein have come through this rebirth a stronger, leaner and more aggressive beast and while they have always been a force to be reckoned with, the three track taster gives the hope that album number three could be very impressive indeed!" - Sea of Tranquility

"ION VEIN was picked as one of the ten bands you should be listening to" check it out here and check out the audio interview they did with Chris here.

Today marks a great day, a day we can salute all of the wonderful men and women that have served the US in the armed forces and also a day we can raise our glasses and horns in salute of the first ever National Metal Day 11-11-11!
