New Jersey melodic metal quartet VTT (http://www.myspace.com/vttrocks) recently returned from the successful three week “Victims Of Sin Summer Tour” and have already confirmed six more shows in the coming months, including a fund raiser for the National Wildlife Refuge, a fundraiser for Ronnie James Dio’s Stand Up And Shout Cancer Fund as well as appearances at The Power & The Fury Festival, and Richmond Metalfest. The band continues to support the late-2009 released ‘Symptoms Of Sin’, the band’s third album. The eight track release was produced by Biohazard’s Billy Graziadei at his Underground Sound Studios.

VTT will play an all acoustic set Aug. 15 in Vernon, NJ as part of a fund raiser for the disaster in the Gulf. All proceeds will go to the National Wildlife Refuge Association, a non-profit dedicated to conservation of America’s wildlife for future generations. Meanwhile, VTT will also participate in an Aug. 27 tribute to the recently-fallen Ronnie James Dio in Clifton, NJ. The New Jersey natives will share the stage with three other bands, paying tribute to the legendary vocalist with covers and originals all night. Benefits will go to Ronnie James Dio’s Stand Up And Shout Cancer Fund. The organization’s goal is to “reduce the risk of developing life threatening cancers by offering access to preventative medical services.”

Meanwhile, as part VTT’s recently-completed “Victims Of Sin Summer Tour,” the band took part in another charity event, East End Hot Rods’ Second Annual Autism Speaks fundraiser show. A clip of the band playing their ‘Symptoms Of Sin’ track “Wake Of The White Devil” is available online here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfFF3T5U6eY). Songs from all three of the band’s releases are available on the VTT MySpace Page (http://www.myspace.com/vttrocks), including the ‘Symptoms Of Sin’ lead track, “The Victim.”
