Veil Of Maya
Chicago's Veil Of Maya are back to lead the charge of the American progressive-deathcore assault, with the release of their mind-blowing third album, 'Eclipse', out via Sumerian on 27 February.
Produced by djent hero Misha Mansoor of Periphery, 'Eclipse' is a stunningly concise yet diverse metal record, packed full of death-metal chops, tech-metal grooves, progressive arrangements and hardcore rip-yer-throat-out attitude.
The guitar work is as slick is it comes - stunning precision, inventive melodies and tasteful use of technique that will equally impress the muso as much as the metal head.
But most importantly, this album is full of so many memorable riffs, rhythms and vocal hooks that you'll be itching to hit play again as soon as it's finished.
