They seemed pretty driven in a business and marketing sense, they offered something fresh, and they also seemed to be granted with a bit of luck, by John's own admission.

I had a devout Christian ream me out after he saw one of their CDs sitting in my truck. That has to amount for something too.

Hahaha let me guess, was that CD "God Was Created"? 
Well I believe the Christian groups have larger fish to fry if you know what I mean. I don't think they're after underground metal bands... I do think the whole Disney canceling metal gigs would bring some cool exposure to some of those bands, but I dunno.... That's a completely different thing. Hmmm... I heard about Vehemence from the guitarist, John Chavez, and we talked a lot. I can't imagine Mr. Chavez talked to tons of others as well?! But I suppose it's possible.

Speaking of John....what in the fuck happened to that guy? I met him at a Vehemence show in S.A. is '04 with Mortician, and he seemed cool. Next thing I know he's all scenester and shit with the emo garb and all. ???? The most dramatic change from a death metaller since Dave Vincents move to Genitorturers.
On topic....Vehemence are popular? No one I talk to really knows about them all that much, in spite of them being one of the most killer bands in death metal ever. Whatever recognition they have is due to touring, I think. And the Metal Blade deal didn't hurt....

John became pretty much the fem-est dude ever. When a guy lists MAC makeup as an interest on his profile and has a photo of a pink lambourgini, that's some solid fem right there.

Vehemence got alot of publicity when god was created created such a stir over in Germany for it's cover. Any publicity is good publicity.
