Seventh Vail is a four piece wrecking ball of energy from Northern Virginia. Founding members Camden Unglesbee and JC formed with Alex Vinny and Ken Barber in the summer of 2009. After only playing a handful of local shows immediate public notice began to follow as the band opened for Veil of Maya at Jaxx nightclub. Each member from the band brings a unique dynamic to the table, that when combined creates an amazing blend of modern hardcore punk attitude with heavy metal tendencies. Leaving crowds with jaws on the floor, Seventh Vail is a band with a no holds barred mentality.
