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.
