Via Vengeance Streams "Dead In The Snow"
Now less than a month from release is "Harsh Conditions," the second album by Arizona-based doom metal soloist Shane Ocell as Via Vengeance. As an early insight into the record comes new track "Dead In The Snow," featuring guest guitar and vocal contributions from A Storm Of Light's Josh Graham.
Ocell states of the collaboration with Graham: "When Storm and Via toured I had asked Josh to pick a song that he wanted to add some vox and guitar to, and at the end of the tour 'Dead In The Snow' was the song he chose. I love what he did on there and hopefully one day we could play it together live."

Via Vengeance Releasing "Harsh Conditions"
Battleground Records has joined up with Arizona-based solo outfit Via Vengeance for the release of the project's recently completed second full-length, "Harsh Conditions."
Via Vengeance is the creation of solitary member Shane Ocell, the drummer of Phoenix-based dynamic sludge troupe, Sorxe. With his solo project, Ocell handles all instrumentation and vocals, even performing the tracks himself at live performances without the use of any looping or manipulation devices.
After forming the project in 2006, a self-titled album was recorded in 2007 with Matt Bayles (Botch, Mastodon, Isis) and self-released later that year. Sporadic touring and live performances followed for the next few years, including a tour with A Storm Of Light in 2010, the same year Ocell recorded his follow-up album, "Harsh Conditions." The record has been on the back burner since its creation, mainly due to focus on Sorxe, but the album finally comes forth through a new deal with Battleground Records.
Due out March 11th, 2016, the track listing for "Harsh Conditions" is as follows:
1. Efficient Kill
2. Expired
3. Swarmed
4. Dead In The Snow
5. Winter Mourning
6. Secluded Wolf In Sheep's Clothing
7. Lust Blood
8. Solitary
9. Harsh Conditions
10. Instinct to Survive
11. In The End Nothing Goes To Waste More...
