The Black Veils

Formed in 2014 out of the collaboration between Gregor Samsa (vocals), Filippo Scalzo (bass) and Mario "Dada" D'Anelli (guitar,synth and drum machine),The BlackVeils are a post-punk and shoegaze trio based in Bologna, Italy.They draw on a dark and surreal imaginary, combining enigmatic lyrics with melodic evocative atmospheres. Through echoes and reverberations of the guitar, obsessive and "danceable" bass lines and ethereal sharp vocals, the sound of The Black Veils becomes a never-static and passionate research.
That same year, The Black Veils meet Gianluca Lo Presti (Nevica su 4.0) - owner of the "Disco Dada" label and long-time collaborator of Tying Tiffany, Blaine L. Reininger of Tuxedomoon, Delendanoia, Cosmetic and Vanity - who records and mixes their first self-produced album "Blossom", which it's released in October 2015. Giuseppe Lo Bue of Caron Dimonio is also involved in the recording sessions of "Blossom", playing guitars on the tracks "King of Worms" and "Out of the Well (For David Michael Bunting)".
"The Fall" is released as their first official video in January 2016.
In January 2016 the band also releases a brand new song for Darkitalia's compilation "Sparkles in the Dark, Vol. 2" called "(Let's Set The) Cities on Fire", recorded, mixed and mastered by Giuseppe Taibi of post-punk band Two Moons.
All year long,The BlackVeils keep on touring all over Italy.
The Black Veils' second album, "Dealing with Demons", was released in January 2017 through "Atmosphere Records".
