The five 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 minds of
Torment The Vein to expose the raw emotion
and disturbing struggles within. If you truly wish to
experience the Torment, you will find it there. Doug Rice (bass) and Fred Akasha (drums) drive the pulse
with emphatic beats and hypnotic cadences. With
haunting melodies and cutting tones from Brad Baker (guitar, backup
vocals) and Pete Bingle (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, Trust Company, The Exies, Framing Hanley, Powerman 5000 and many other great national and local bands, 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, in print and online publications, and they receive
regular radio play in the U.S. and Canada.
