Er waren al heel wat roddels omtrent de nieuwe naam van de Belgische band One Of Kings maar nu is het definitief. De groep heeft gekozen voor Veins. In onderstaande update vertellen ze er meer over:

"Since a week and a half, we’ve been trying to get One Of Kings back on the map of the hardcore/metalcore music scene. We’ve been spreading #OOK2012 and there are some pretty big plans.

Unfortunately, for the same amount of time we’ve experienced a lot of trouble with our former lead guitarist. Aleks and I (Jeroen) have decided to part ways with him (and our bassist) because most of his behavior while still in the band was unacceptable. However, our chapter with him is closed now.


We will go on as a band, but not as One Of Kings. We will continue as Veins and we welcome James Falck (ex-Balances) and Jesper Vranken (Mississipi Outlaws), resp. as our new lead guitarist and drummer in the process. James came up with the new name and Aleks and I loved it instantly. We tried to look for other names, but Veins was the only one that sticked.

Our debut release as Veins will be out at the end of the Summer on The Front Agency. It will be an EP, called ‘There Is Only Black Or White’. Our buddy Lars (Sempiterna) will help with the bass tracking and Sam (Inside The Hail) will track some guitar lines as well.

We’re looking for a new bass player too, someone who’s motivated and will only improve the good atmosphere and chemistry that’s already going on. If you’re interested, get at us on Facebook!

If you’ve liked our EP ‘Rise Above All’, but you wanted it to be a bit more aggressive and pissed off, then you’re lucky! The new material is sounding great, but in the mean time we’ll still need your support.

So do us a favor and share our new page, forward some bassists to us, or just buy the One Of Kings EP (we still have a 30-ish hardcopies that need to go out the door!) for just 2 euros.

A big shout out to our good friends in Balances, Sempiterna, Altars and Essence for their continuous support. If you’re going to check out Balances and Essence at the An Ocean Tide EP release in Genk tomorrow, come say hi to me at the Balances merch stand!

See you soon!
