ION VEIN: “Anger Inside” Lyric Video Released

The lyric video for the song "Anger Inside" from Chicago based metallers, ION VEIN, is now available on their official YouTube channel and can be seen below. The track is taken from the band’s new self—titled album which is due out July 4 in Europe and July 8 in North America, via Mortal Music/MVD Audio in both CD and digital formats.

The long awaited follow up to 2003's "Reigning Memories” was once again produced, recorded, and mixed by Neil Kernon (Judas Priest, Nevermore, Queensryche) and is the first full length album with vocalist, Scott Featherstone, whom the band first debuted on the IV v1.0 and IV v2.0 three song digital EPs released in September 2011 and December 2012 respectively. Additionally, the six songs from those EPs have been re-mixed/re-mastered for inclusion on the full album.

Comments guitarist/founder Chris Lotesto: "We kicked around a handful of titles but it just seemed most natural to call the record "ION VEIN" to signify the re-building and re-tooling of the band as the starting point for the next phase in our story." On releasing the track "Anger Inside" first: "Anger" shows a lot of the “in-your-face” side of us, the heavy riffing, the ballsy/melodic vocals, dynamic breakdown, and raging guitar solos but also connects with a lot of the frustrations we all feel these days with what’s going on in the world so hopefully you can crank it up, release that "anger inside" by singing along, and then grab an ice cream cone or something!"
