Artist History The concept for what is now ION VEIN began some ten years ago when Chris heard Fates Warning for the first time. It took many years to get the chemistry right but in October ?97 when the current line-up was in place, each member knew this is the band they?ve been searching for their whole life. Building on influences as diverse as Dream Theater and Iron Maiden, ION VEIN create music that stretches the imagination without forgetting the average listener.
