Vein is a four piece band from Boston, MA who formed in early 2013, from the looks of things.  Vein play a volatile, chaotic, and brutal as fuck style of noise damaged hardcore.  Musically, Vein can be loosely compared to bands such as Jerome's Dream, Jesuit, Orchid, Black Kites, Furnace, and Relics.  Since forming in 2013, Vein have released a five song self-titled EP in Julyof 2013, a five song EP titled Terrors Realm in June of 2015, and a three song demo on May 30th, 2016.  According to the band, Vein has a new full-length LP in the works, which should be released later this year.  The two releases I'm reviewing here are their Terrors Realm and 2016 demo.  Terrors Realm features five tracks on venomous and spite fueled noise damaged hardcore that has a killer Jerome's Dream/early Jesuit vibe.  Overall, Terrors Realm makes for an amazing listen.  Next up is the band's new demo, which was released yesterday.  The three songs featured on the new demo are an exercise in sheer brutality and pummel the listeners ears with a harsh cacophony of noise damaged goodness.  Overall, Vein's latest demo is a an absolute must listen and should not be missed.  Highly recommended!  Enjoy!  I had the pleasure of getting knocked on my ass when seeing these dudes play with Yautja, Grizzlor, Insano Vision, and City Of Iron this past Friday.  Vein puts on a killer live show to boot.
