Alright gang. I just went and listened to this group. They are VERY good. If you like a fresh, new sound with kinda traditional instrumentals, solid driving beat and some elements of metal shredding -- you'll like these guys. As Dr. Jones says, have a listen. And if I can get them to post a few songs on publishmymusic, I can get a producer in the UK who is looking for new acts to give them as listen as well... Good find! - Publish My Music Dot Com

These five guys from Central NY known as Torment The Vein have a presence like no other. The band was formed in 2004 by singer AJ Cole, guitarists Brad Baker and Chris Nalle, along with bass player Josh Sherman and drummer Fred Akasha. Over the years, they have developed a band that is becoming increasingly popular in the Rochester and Syracuse areas. Many say that Torment The Vein's music is reminiscent of bands such as "Staind" and "Breaking Benjamin". However, with a mind-blowing new concoction of todays heavy metal and the tattered remains of early alternative rock, a dark, melodic, yet feel good sound is created. It gets you pumped up and ready to roll, no matter what mood you're in. All that plus an elaborate live performance that needs to be experienced, you quickly realize that they have what it takes to stand up against the toughest rock acts in the industry.

If for some reason you can't get around to seeing them live, at least know you can enjoy their unique style on their debut album, Faded Life. You won't be able to stop listening to the subtle and calming characteristic tones, that create a vibe that's beyond satiating. Then when they step it up a notch, their raw dynamical talent becomes a part of you, leaving you with no choice but to keep on listening, and take the journey that is Torment The Vein. - Jonathan RD./ Scarred Productions
