VEIO Release Official Music Video for ”Janus”!

Portland based Heavy Alternative Rock band VEIO has released the official music video for their newest single, "Janus." The single was produced by Stephan Hawkes (Chelsea Grin, Attila, I Declare War) atInterlace Audio in Portland. "Janus" is a fresh sound for the band and the next evolution in VEIO'S unique sonic alchemy.

"Janus is a song about trials and tribulations of the past, present and future. We've overcome a lot of adversity in our time as a band and the song is about us trying to endure and overcome." - VEIO

Veio melds alt-rock’s anthemic allure to the exhilarating adventurism of prog metal like few before them.

The roots of Veio – a name taken from an ancient Etruscan city – reach back to the childhood musical collaborations of Cam and Brett Byrd (vocals/guitar and drums respectively). The brothers formed Veio after college, with the lineup completed by bassist Kris Lewis 5 years ago. With the 2017 debut albumInfinite Light / Desperate Shadows and tireless touring efforts with the likes of Seether, Tremonti, and RED, the band earned legions of loyal fans. The band's follow up 2020 album, Vitruvian, saw its first single, “Flare of Defiance,” storm the Billboard Rock Chart and entered Active Rock Radio’s Top 30.

Now a part of the revamped Silent Majority Group (Paramore, Creed,Sevendust), Veio’s music is garnering lofty comparisons to the thoughtful, artsy rock of Tool and A Perfect Circle, along with Thrice’s muscular, ultra-authentic optimism and the technical yet tuneful prog metal of Tesseract andMastodon.

“We've always strived to have a unique sound that a mainstream audience can enjoy while still being mainly influenced by prog and metal bands,” Lewis states. “We hope both sides of the spectrum will enjoy the new music.” 
Consistently creating soaring, singable material without compromising their love for odd time signatures and challenging polymeters, Veio displays the single-minded talent, passion, and work ethic to remain a chart fixture for years to come.

“This album is our introduction to the masses and we put a lot of time into perfecting it the way we wanted it,” says bassist/backing vocalist Kris Lewis. “This new album is a step forward for us in experimentation with synth programming, lyrical complexity and songwriting in general, and we are thrilled to share it with the world.”

To celebrate, the band will be hosting a special livestream release party tomorrow night, June 19, at 6 pm PT on their Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/Veiomusic/.

Vitruvian is inspired by the name of a famous sketch from Leonardo da Vinci in 1490, and the band has conceptualized and translated the artist’s legendary “proportions of man” into a sonic interpretation on the album by giving each song a theme, emotion and proportion of its own.

Vitruvian was recorded over a year-and-a-half with Stephan Hawkes (Chelsea Grin, Attila, I Declare War) at Interlace Audio in Portland, with additional production by Sylvia Massy (Tool, System of a Down) who has called Veio “the loudest band” she ever recorded. To her point, the cops were called as the band tracked drum parts. 

Sonic Perspectives says of the album, “Blending together elements of progressive metal and alternative rock, Veio proves that modern anthems can also shoulder impressive levels of complexity in their depths. Bright even during its heaviest moments Vitruvian is a serene reprieve that fearlessly gazes upon a more beautiful world.”

Veio also recently debuted acoustic versions of “Flare Of Defiance” and “Ascendancy” during the inaugural Mayhem Unplugged Festival, an online streaming event sponsored by Music Mayhem Magazine. See the tracks here (at the 1:03:30 mark): https://www.facebook.com/MusicMayhemMagazine/videos/3828216583916704/

Vitruvian is available in CD, vinyl and bundle packages at www.veiomusic.com

Vitruvian follows Veio’s 2017 debut album Infinite Light/Desperate Shadows and tours with the likes of Seether, Tremonti, Starset, The Veer Union, Skyharbor and RED. Veio is part of the notable Silent Majority Group that has managed the careers of Creed, Saving Abel, Paramore, Candlebox, Sevendust, Tantric, Framing Hanley and Brother Sundance. SMG is a music company made up of Silent Majority Recordings, a global and fully functioning record label currently promoted and distributed by Warner Music Group/ADA, and JHMP, a full-service artist management company.

Here’s what the press and industry veterans have said about Veio:

"We get that comparing a band to the highly revered Tool is sacrilege to many, but these boys deserve to be at least in the conversation for their mature and dynamic sound creations." 

- Matt Simon, Ear to the Ground Music Blog 
 

"With comparisons being made to Tool and Thrice, it's a lot to live up to. I see it as a nod to Veio's genuineness and quality control for the music they put out there. Every new Veio song I hear lives up to expectations." 

- Todd McCarty (GM Fearless / VP Sales at Sony/Century Media) 
 

"Veio are that unique combination of progressive, metal and alternative that produces a memorable style that few bands are able to achieve."

Veio Announces Release Of New Album Vitruvian On June 19

Lead Single “Flare Of Defiance” 

Breaks Top 30 At Active Rock Radio,

Named Top 10 Metal Contraband Track 

Alt Metal-Prog Rockers From Portland

Marked 1 Million Spotify Streams in 2020

Following Tours With Seether, Tremonti, Starset

Following the release of a bold new track last September—the popular radio hit “Flare of Defiance”—Portland, Oregon’s alt metal-prog hard rockers Veio are set to release their new album Vitruvian on June 19 through Silent Majority Group.

nspired by the name of a famous sketch from Leonardo da Vinci in 1490, the band has conceptualized and translated the artist’s legendary “proportions of man” into a sonic interpretation by giving each song on Vitruvian a theme, emotion and proportion of its own. 

“The themes and emotions distinctly expressed on this record are defiance, self-ownership, spirituality, anxiety and depression, deceit, bloodlust, grief and awe and wonder,” says bassist/vocalist Kris Lewis who joins brothers Cameron Byrd (vocals/guitar) and Brett Byrd (drums) in the project, which is named for an Etruscan city-state during the time of the Roman Empire. 

Vitruvian was recorded over a year-and-a-half with Stephan Hawkes (Chelsea Grin, Attila, I Declare War) at Interlace Audio in Portland, with additional production by Sylvia Massy (Tool, System of a Down) who has called Veio “the loudest band” she ever recorded. To her point, the cops were called as the band tracked drum parts. 

“We have experimented in taking the programming and synth production to a level we’ve never incorporated before,” adds Lewis. “We have also spent a lot of time on new guitar tones and effects to take, what we feel, is a step forward for our music. We wanted to incorporate subtle elements of electronica to give it a bit of a cinematic effect to enhance the depth of the instrumentation, while still playing around with odd time signatures and polymeters and maintaining anthemic and singable choruses.”

The first single, “Flare Of Defiance” was a hit at Active Rock Radio, entering into the Top 30, while also being named a Top 10 Metal Contraband Track. After being placed on a number of official playlists, the song has also helped the band reach the 1 million streams benchmark on Spotify in recent weeks.

Vitruvian follows Veio’s 2017 debut album Infinite Light/Desperate Shadows and tours with the likes of Seether, Tremonti, Starset, The Veer Union, Skyharbor and RED.

Veio is part of the notable Silent Majority Group that has managed the careers of Creed, Saving Abel, Paramore, Candlebox, Sevendust, Tantric, Framing Hanley and Brother Sundance. SMG is a music company made up of Silent Majority Recordings, a global and fully functioning record label currently promoted and distributed by Warner Music Group/ADA, and JHMP, a full-service artist management company.
