Great job, boys!
Good to see Ion Vein out rockin' again after a two year hiatus.
I like the new singer....vocals are amazing and that dude has a lot of fucking energy!

Look forward to seeing both play Powerfest!

Tell me about it.
We still have to get the Chris Lotesto action figures and Brian Gordon bobbleheads back from the manufacturer!
Time is money!

You guys played a gig? Why didn't you advertise it here???????????

Saladbar · April 15th, 2008, 12:08 AM

Yeah no kidding great fucking job, I wasn’t expecting that at all. Al is a hell of a front man, no matter what he did onstage you just couldn’t keep your eyes off him and his range was impressive. Oddly enough the last time I saw Ion Vein was on that same stage. Twelfth Gate was great as well, hopefully 2 weeks from now we’ll get a new tune with Aaron.

Diabolik · April 15th, 2008, 12:58 AM

was it smart playing so close to Powerfest?

Jasonic · April 15th, 2008, 01:27 AM

I am guessing this was more of a P'Fest warmup thing, since it surely wasn't advertised very well.
I didn't see it mentioned her, or at Chicago Metal Factory, etc......
