The latest news of the ultimate melodic power / prog band of USA..

**ION VEIN PARTS WITH DRUMMER, SCOTT LANG**
It is with mixed emotions that we must report that after six and a half years, we have parted ways with drummer, Scott Lang, due to musical differences. This was not an easy decision as you can imagine but everyone felt this was best for all involved and we would like to take this opportunity to thank Scott for the great years we spent together and for the friendship we developed during that time! We wish Scott all the best and look forward to maintaining the friendship we've built during our years together in Ion Vein.
In the meantime, Joe Babiak from Parallel Mind (www.parallelmind.com) will e filling in on drums while we continue to look for a replacement. If you are or know of any professional calibur drummers, please email us at mail@ionvein.com with "drummer" in the subject line.

**NEW WEBSITE UP**
The new website is up (www.ionvein.com) and running so if you haven't been by in a while, please stop by, sign the guestbook and take part in the discussions in our forum!! There are still a few things like photos and wallpaper graphics that aren't up yet but we are still adding and tweaking so come by often to see what's going on. Also, there are mp3 clips in the "albums" section.

**REIGNING MEMORIES REVIEWS**
The new album is receiving some great reviews so check out the press page
at www.ionvein.com/content/article.asp?categoryid=1 to see what the critics
are saying.

**REIGNING MEMORIES AVAILABILITY**
On September 16th, we decided it was time to roll out the new album and make it widely available since there was still no deal in site with a viable label. So, the new album is available at many of the top online vendors such as The Laser's Edge, The End Records, Nightmare Records, Amazon, CD Baby, Hellion Records, Just For Kicks Music, Impulse Music, CD Inzane, Hard n Heavy, etc. You can still get it directly from us via PayPal and our manager, Craig Vinarsky, is still talking with labels so we haven't given up on that yet. If you haven't bought the new album yet, what are you waiting for?? :-)
