Album Notes

The few years since Torment The Vein formed have been
merciless. It’s a cruel world for musicians and
crueler still for an original rock band from Syracuse,
NY. Undaunted, TTV tore their way onto the scene with
music that cuts across the genres: modern rock with a
metal edge.

In 2007, they released their debut album, “Faded
Life,” which cracks open the afflicted mind of
lyricist/vocalist AJ Cole to expose the raw emotion
and disturbing struggles within. If you truly wish to
experience the Torment, you will find it there. Josh
Sherman (bass) and Fred Akasha (drums) drive the pulse
with emphatic beats and hypnotic cadences. With
haunting melodies from Brad Baker (guitar, backup
vocals) and Chris Nalle (guitar), Torment The Vein’s
songs plague the lips and consume the mind.

At TTV’s live performances, fans feed off of a unique
energy that compels some to dance, others to mosh and
all to break free from their numbness and experience
the thrill of mortality. Rocking the stage with the
likes of Drowning Pool, Candlebox, The Exies, Powerman
5000 and many other great national and local bands,
Torment The Vein has left countless audiences hungry
for more. Their dedication to quality musicianship has
inspired fierce support from fans and music industry
representatives on the local and national levels. As a
result, Torment The Vein has been featured on special
events, compilation discs and radio shows, as well as
in print and online publications, and they receive
regular radio play in the U.S. and Canada.
