Jami talked about the new single and the direction of the band on the Lead Singer Syndrome Podcast weeks back, I think. The song is good too, it’s exactly what they want to be.
Yes, in recent interviews he has said specifically that the song was just something they wanted to do and has no bearing on the direction of the next album.
this is what I think sets this band apart from its peers. Any metalcore/hardcore band can be heavy and chaotic, but few carry that unhinged eerie aura (i.e. early Converge, Deadguy) and I think Vein does it extremely well
My favorite podcast reviewed the record. Both people agree it’s a fantastic record. Riot Act: Vein.fm - The World is Going to Ruin You on Apple Podcasts
They review a lot of great stuff. Both write for Metal Hammer as well and there should be a formal write up in the upcoming issue.
Story going around that they destroyed a venue last night in New Mexico and when confronted became hostile then them and another band jumped some of the people that confronted them and some members pulled out a gun
I’m honestly not that surprised that something like this happened. When I saw them a couple years ago, there was apparently some sort of knife fight threat after the show in the parking lot and I think some of Vein were involved? Not totally sure cuz I had already left. But still… that really sucks to hear. I hope they apologize and buy the venue all new equipment. Bad timing to do this shit too since their album is out tonight. Ugh.
The other band involved is called Momentum. No clue which members had guns or anything like that from what I can find
