När man tror att november inte kan bli mörkare kommer Veil of Maya och Signs Of the Swarm förbi på en co-headline tour!
Veil of Maya har sedan 2004 varit en stark spelare på metalscenen. Bandet formades efter att bandet Insurrection avslutades och Marc (gitarr), Sam (trummor) och Kris (tidigare basist) ville dra i gång ett nytt projekt som då blev just Veil of Maya. Med en stark start på death metal-scenen har de genom sina 20 år i branschen inte varit rädda för att ta ut svängarna och har med sitt senaste och sjunde album ”[m]other” från 2023 landat i den mer progressiva metalcoren.
Oavsett vilken genre som de titulerar sig i blir vi garanterade berättelser som är tunga och fängslande med grova gitarrer och sång som tar sig rakt in i själen.
Signs Of the Swarm är inte vilket band som helst. Bandet är del av en generation som tar inspiration från dåtid och om formulerar det till nutid. Genom åtta år har de visat några av de mest brutala ögonblicken med riff som är mer straffande än eftertänksamma och en rytmsektion som ramar in dem på kreativt kakofoniska sätt. Det är dystert utan att vara svart, det är smashing utan att vara slam. När kollegor experimenterar med att lägga till growls, lägger Signs Of the Swarm till en mer eterisk stil som lugnar.
Inte nog med det så tar de med sig kollegorna Varials och To The Grave för att göra det brutala än mer brutalt.
Låt oss gå in i det mörka tillsammans med Veil of Maya och Signs Of the Swarm den 19 november!
Åldersgräns: 18 år (13+ i målsmans sällskap).

Veil of Maya has some great songs however some of them don’t transition to the live setting so well. I was well positioned and some of the tracks (Tokyo Chainsaw) lost the depth in the album versions as the guitar parts were not audible beyond the djenting. However the singer pulled off both the distorted and clean vocals very well and some of the songs were soaring especially near the end. As a first time listener of both bands, Nothing More had the crowd singing along and a compelling frontman but I found Wage War to draw me in more as they had some very intense parts perfect for headbanging at a live show.

Veil of Maya Biography
Underneath a maelstrom of polyrhythmic guitars, sweeping vocals, and shuddering beats, Veil of Maya encode a ponderous narrative at the core of their sixth full-length album, False Idol [Sumerian Records]. This time around, a captivating concept drives the quartet—Marc Okubo [guitar], Sam Applebaum [drums], Danny Hauser [bass], and Lukas Magyar [vocals].
“The whole album is told from a first-person perspective,” Lukas explains. “You’re following this character who’s not the nicest man. He rises to power though. You’ll have to listen in order to find out how it ends. The storyline is very dark.”
“It felt more like we were making a movie or a TV series,” adds Marc. “Lukas actually had a storyboard idea that we talked about before even starting. It’s almost like we were providing the soundtrack in Veil of Maya’s template.”
The seeds for this widescreen ambition can be traced back to 2015’s Matriarch. The album bowed at #2 on the Billboard US Hard Rock Chart and spawned the band’s biggest hit to date, “Mikasa”—which racked up over 5.2 million YouTube views and 5.1 million Spotify streams. Meanwhile, “Leeloo,” “Ellie,” and “Aeris” each cracked the 1-million mark on Spotify. Matriarch earned acclaim from Billboard, Alternative Press, New Noise Magazine, and more as the guys hit the road with the likes of Animals As Leaders, Upon A Burning Body, Volumes, Chelsea Grin, Oceans Ate Alaska, and other heavy hitters in addition to a stint on the Vans Warped Tour. Late 2016 saw the musicians head to Los Angeles in order to record what would become False Idol. Marc worked with producer Max Schad in one studio, while Lukas teamed with vocal producer Brandon Paddock in another.
“Two studios working at the same time was a new approach for us,” continues Marc. “In the past, we completed all of the instrumentals for Lukas to marinate on. Everything was done by the time he joined the band. This is the first time we got to write with his voice in mind. Another change, he was writing on the spot. It brought a different energy and ended up really cool. Max made a big difference too.”
That difference stands out in Veil of Maya’s marked sonic evolution. Every element is amplified: it’s heavier, it’s more hypnotic, and it hits even harder.
“The overall vibe is darker and heavier,” reveals Lukas. “with the story, the demeanor got pretty sinister. That’s an element that I don’t think anybody was expecting.”
The first single “Overthrow” revs up from a crushing tidal wave of riffing into a soaring and striking clean refrain. It taps into the expansive energy of signature fan favorites, while elevating the group to a new level.
“It’s got some of that ‘Mikasa’ spirit,” smiles Marc. “We thought that couldn’t hurt!”
“We show references to the beginning of the main character’s life at this point in terms of the content,” says Lukas. “It was a more compelling way to tell the story. All of the songs stand alone. They represent their own pieces of the story.”
“We wanted to create something refreshing,” Lukas leaves off. “We didn’t recycle the same old thing. It’s a new beginning.”
“I hope the record is something people want to go back to and study again,” concludes Marc. “It’s worth more than one listen.”
