Vena Sera
Vena Sera is the fourth studio album by Chevelle and was released on April 3, 2007 through Epic Records. Many of the tracks on this album were based on material from unreleased songs the band had previously recorded.
Vena Sera is the first Chevelle album with bassist Dean Bernardini, the brother-in-law of fellow members Pete and Sam Loeffler.
The first single, "Well Enough Alone", was released to radio stations on February 13.
The album debuted at #12 in the United States with sales of about 62,000. This was less than their last album, This Type of Thinking (Could Do Us In), which debuted at #8 with sales of about 90,000.
As of February 2, 2008, the album has sold 256,316 copies in the US.
On May 31, 2007, drummer Sam Loeffler updated the official site to say, among other things, that the song "I Get It" would be the second single from the album. The single was released to radio on June 12, 2007. In late December it was announced by the band that "The Fad" would be the third single from Vena Sera. As of January 17th, 2008 the song has been put up for adds on radio stations across the country. "Antisaint" is featured in MLB 07: The Show.
Etymology
Vena Sera has been translated and interpreted as meaning many different things. It is translated as "Vein Evening" or "Evening Vein" in Italian, and "In like vein" in Latin. However, Pete Loeffler has stated that the title means "Vein Liquid" and is representative as "the blood of the band and the work we put into the album".
