At the beginning of this month, Chevelle released their latest album Vena Sera. Now Chevelle is considered to be hard rock or even metal, but the lyrics often times carry a sweet melody that just happens to pack a rockin' punch.

The current band members are Pete Loeffler, Dean Bernardini and Sam Loeffler. A couple years ago a third Loeffler brother, Joe Loeffler, was also a member but he left the band and quite honestly I have no idea what happened.

Chevelle is working with SonyBMG/Epic Records with which they have released three albums. Prior to joining up with the big leagues they were under contract with Squint Entertainment who put out their first album. All in all there have been 9 singles with the most prominent one being the track "Send the Pain Below" found on Wonder What's Next.

The latest album Vena Sera has one song that is already #4 on the US top charts "Well Enough Alone." It's an amazing song. The great news is we hear more from Pete Loeffler than just screaming; he's singing. And he sounds perfect! For some reason this album didn't get a fuss, but maybe it's because the typical Chevelle crowd expected the traditional screaming, aggressive music from earlier days. I'm hoping they get some new followers and that the older fans give the album a second listen.
