the Veil [New Song]

Almost... dead.

About Me


BORN - AUGUST 2006 | REBIRTH - JANUARY 2008
the Veil has re-created itself... becoming a prime example of personal growth and evolution. After shedding its previous skin and welcoming Brendan Purdy, Rob Halko to the lineup, its members had become a much tighter group of friends and musicians, dedicated to challenging the stubborn views of aggressive music in today's world. Artistic but direct, complicated but comprehensible, the Veil is poised to destroy with decisive rhythmic finesse.
We're simple guys, we come together for the love of music and community, we believe strongly in DIY ethic and the support of our friends and the music scene as a whole. We believe playing music is an awesome thing, and we do not support those who take it as an opportunity to stroke their egos or try to harm others.
Have a show? We'd love to play! We'll do pretty much anything thats feasible for us! Just message us here and we'll talk. We'll play whenever, with whomever, we love to play for new people and meet new bands. Just Message Us On This Account
