There is music that is accessible and access-denying for the first listen. It wants us to spin it again and again and as it wants each spin shall reveal more and more, it needs to create such surprises hidden inside many layers for us to peel back. Example? The new track “Committed” by An Insection which we premiere here at VoS today!

A rhythmic experiment is our premiere of the day showing how central the drums can be and here definitely are. Charlie Werber gives us Krater - and the seismological effect left behind that deep circle is breathtaking at times, requiring self-sacrifice and willingness to contemplate. Enjoy the two long tracks onKrater created by Charlie Werber and Daniel O’Sullivan here on VoS!

Welcome to another video premiere here on the Veil of Sound, this time for a performance video set in front of a red veil. Performed by none other band than the infamous Missouri Executive Order 44. Infamous for their anonymity and their ferocious grindcore attacks.

About a month ago, we were lucky to premiere the first song and video from Varhara’s upcoming and highly anticipated third album The First Breath After, which will be released on These Hands Melt on June 20th and is available for digital pre-order. Today, we present to you the mighty second song from the new album accompanied by a haunting video.

Brévine is a newcomer to our scene and, like many modern bands, they display a level of professionalism new bands just didn’t have 30 years ago. Their Post-Metal is shifty and embellished with many details here and there and just makes sense! These Hands Melt surely got their hands on a promising new band and Brévine’s video for their first single “Cîme” surely melted our synapses - thus we are proud to give you this premiere!

MOUTHS from Sheffield are a pretty new band, and they take us back to the times of youth centres, JUZ and left-leaning clubs which were and are the basis for any thriving Punk/Hardcore scene. The guys will release their debut 7” A Lower Process through Moment of Collapse Records next month and we are happy to give you a live-recording of those songs!

Sankt Otten - this band is probably one of only a few German heirs to the throne when it comes to the sound that made a little scene some 50, 60 years ago so impactful that it flodded the world we know with sounds unheard of before and in some way never again achieved anywhere ever since. We are more than happy and proud to give you the premiere to their next single “Filterkaffee und Finsternis”!

Yes, it’s been way too long, since we last heard new music from Year of No Light, the French masters of ambient Post-Metal. And that fact will continue for a little longer because this new release is not new music, but a live recording of an amazing score they performed twice – the second time was more than 10 years ago but we should be very thankful to Pelagic Records for giving us a vinyl release of this brilliant piece. Finally everybody can listen to “Les Maîtres Fous“ - and listening one should be!

Varhara hails from the impressive St. Petersburg metal scene and their soundscapes stem from the inspirational pond that also has brought us Olhava, TRNA, Somn, Show Me a Dinosour etc. Since forming in 2019 they have released two singles and one full length (2021) and this summer, June 20th, will see the release of their new album, The first breath after. We are more than happy to give you a first taste of it!

When we hear Atmospheric Black Metal, our ears go up. When it’s the kind incorporating their non-conventional musical roots in the form of folk elements, we listen. When it’s Romanian Atmospheric Post-Black Metal outfit Genune, we are in love. VoS proudly presents their new single “The Sun Will Always Shine”!

Do you remember the biblical story of Jericho? The city was not conquered but destroyed via “sound”? I think that “noise” could have been made by Lähdön Aika and when listening to our new premiere today, you will surely think so too! Here is “Teuraaksi Kastettu”!

The idea for this record is already a few years old, its performance happened a little under a year ago and tomorrow we can hold the result in our hands - the drummer of Japanese Noise pioneers Ruins partnered up with Massimo and Luca, the core Italian veterans Zu, for a collaboration record! And today we here at VoS can present you Jazzisdead Live as a premiere for your exquisite pleasure!

The crunchy Cypress Hill-beats meets the classic Bristol Sound - et voila we got Casino Square! And as some of us grew up on “Hits from da…” and “Hymn(s) of the Big Wheel” we are happy to give you today’s premiere of their upcoming track “Tempe of the Mind”!</b>

Shit! How can a track so out of my comfort zone and in no way streamlined in order to appeal give me so many shivers and goosebumps and have me on the edge of my chair for minutes on end? I mean Neo-Classical music is normally not my thing, I must admit that, but in this case it is sublime, it plays with rhythms, melodies and especially teaches me one thing: Never expect anything if you deal with Consouling Sounds or Pieter-Jan aka Innerwoud! We are so proud to premiere “DRAN” by Innerwoud!

Did we already proclaim our love for the French scene this month? If not, then take the new upcoming record by Tours-based Indie-Rock band Moonback Stage as prime example why we do! Veil of Sound is proud to present their new full-length Echo Process!

If a band is able to return after several years’ silence, book time at Electrical Audio only to notice Steve dying shortly before the session, then still go through with recording and finally comes out the other end with two different sides combined into one record full of noisey Helmet-Post-Hardcore - then that demands a lot of respect and in the case of Birth (Defects) a lot of admiration for the amazing record they are giving us!

The two veterans of the Oslo metal underground, Ronny Flissundet and Kristian Liljan, who form Rule of Two, continue to explore the possibilities in the electronic realms of the 80s and 90s, mixing it with some modern Darkwave. We here at Veil of Sound are proud to premiere their next installment today - a single called ”Speechless” and the accompanying video. The video is kaleidoscopic, immensely creative and takes you through many emotions, from cosmic beauty to busy urban life to eerie blurred figures in indistinct, crowded streets.

Somewhere within the music of Monnik’s upcoming record lies an audible connection to the core of human belief, no matter the system. Thus we are very happy to premiere the video for his new track “Wederopverisenisse” taken from his upcoming album out via Consouling Sounds on April 4!

Pelagic Alert again! Keeping our tradition of talking to Pelagic artists who are about to release a new record on our Berliners’ label. This time this goes along with our love for the always-affable and feverish-favoritism of the UK-Post-scene, that we will never tire of promoting and pushing, be it labels (looking at you Ripcord Records!) or artists like the mighty Telepathy who are about to return with their new record “Transmissions” on March 28, so in just a few days. As you should get even more hyped about the album, we give you this interview and also a review on our website, so you see and understand even more why we love this record that much! Enjoy the interview - and tell us which record you love best by Telepathy?

Support your local scene! Or in our post-globalized world - support your global scene! We love to do that here at Veil of Sound and as a scene is always a combination of people sharing similar tastes and ideas and when we were told to check out Pyramid Mass and their new EP “Gargling Rot” (out next week Tuesday, March 18) we did so and were soooo blown away that this review was not enough - we needed to talk to the Matt, Nic and Joey and, fortunately, all were available to talk about the EP, the way that Joey is their internal critic, how they go about composing the stuff and trimming the fat from them and more. We hope you like our little special and will check out “Gargling Rot” next week Tuesday! Enjoy!

In the stillness of the night, I imagine David Lacroix to lay down and contemplate the world and its current state but also his own position in it and how both sides interfere and influence the other. At the end of this process he arrived at a new Appropriate Savagery album from which we proudly present the track “Confused, with Claws Made of Flesh (Scarify my Reflection)”!

Another one of these French Heavy Rock bands illustrating that you do not need to be American to hit hard and that words are a commodity for a Heavy Psych band, not a necessity. Enjoy our premiere of the forthcoming The Baptized record Exilion!

SURPRISES GALORE! Third interview in just a couple of days and the second week with a surprise interview with a Pelagic Records artist (man, we should talk about deeper collabs, guys!) and why? Because SOM rocks! We could end our little hype text here, but just to make it clear, their new record Let The Light In will be out on March 14 (next week Friday) and as it’s a really cool record we decided to give the record a “Special” treatment by combining a review and interview! Enjoy!
