ION VEIN PART WITH LABEL, BEGIN RECORDING NEW ALBUM
---------------------------------------------------
Ion Vein main man, Chris Lotesto, issued the following
statement, "We have officially parted ways with the UK's
Now and Then Records who have apparently gone under. 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."
The band has begun recording their third album at Rax Trax
Studios in Chicago, with producer, Neil Kernon, once again
manning the helm. Lotesto added, "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."
