Veil Of Maya - The Common Man's Collapse

‘Veil of Maya’ is a common Hindu term. Maya is said to represent the illusion that is our everyday consciousness. This blinds us from everything’s true forms and intentions, hence the veil of maya. It’s like how the Earth turned out to be a big computer in ‘The Matrix’. Neo’s veil was lifted and he saw the truth.

Formed in Chicago, IL in 2004, Veil of Maya are part of the small group of newer American metal bands that aren’t following the typical “metalcore” pattern, instead churning out a sound that’s as technically proficient as it is brutal. And no, despite their name and many a foolish accusation, Veil of Maya is not a Cynic tribute band.

Upon first listen, this album blew me away.

Compelling. Dynamic. Brutal.

For fans of Winds of Plague, As Blood Runs Black, Between The Buried and Me, Orgone, Cynic, Meshuggah, etc. They are on tour right now, with some awesome bands. Check their myspace to see if they are playing in a town near you.
