Veil of Maya In Concert

For Chicago-based band Veil of Maya, sonic rules are meant to be broken. Take the Chicago band's 2017 effort 'False Idol.' Although the full-length incorporates plenty of major metalcore hallmarks — buzzsawing guitars and vocals that alternate between banshee screams and a cleaner, melodic delivery — the album also weaves in old-school metal thrashing and atmospheric programming with a symphonic touch. 

Such boundary-busting is second nature to Veil of Maya. The group originally formed in 2004 out of the ashes of a death metal band called Insurrection that featured guitarist/programmer Marc Okubo and drummer Sam Applebaum. At the time, Okubo wanted to emulate Meshuggah and At the Gates. Accordingly, Veil of Maya's earliest work — including and especially the band's full-length debut for Sumerian Records, 2008's 'The Common Man's Collapse' — also hewed toward deathcore and technical metal.

Yet as the band swapped vocalists and weathered multiple other lineup changes, their sound evolved into something far more original. The doom-heavy 2010 effort '[id],' which peaked at No. 1 on Billboard's Heatseekers chart, boasts dynamic arrangements that add dramatic flair to punishing blast beats, frenetic synth spurts, and brain-bending rhythms. 'Matriarch' — which became the band's highest-charting album upon its 2015 arrival — split the difference between melodic metalcore and gnarly technical metal with funhouse synth programming.

Veil of Maya's live reputation precedes them — perhaps because the band has grown into the most popular of road acts, thanks to stints on multiple Summer Slaughter tours, at Mayhem Festival, and on the Vans Warped Tour, in addition to many package tours with heavy music's A-team. It's easy to see why Veil of Maya is in demand, though: Their shows are formidable displays of technical skill and precision, amplified with bone-crushing volume and sound. In 2019, tours with Dance Gavin Dance and a spring U.S. jaunt with Intervals only cemented Veil of Maya's brutality crown.

    Incredibly Dissapointing

    by Xammy on 2/18/24Bogart's - Cincinnati

    Veil of Maya, the headliner, played a 55 minute set including their one-song encore. The vocalist was out of tune every song except the last. I have loved this band for years and was literally cringing through most of the set. I felt robbed after it ended so early. The show was over at 10:00pm, like what the heck? Angelmaker was fantastic though and slightly redeemed the 6 hours of driving I did. Their set was 30 minutes. I don’t know if Veil of Maya had some bad eggs for breakfast (or maybe they are vegans with low energy) but 55 minutes of weak performance was so disappointing.

    Amazing

    by Boat on 2/13/24Harrisburg Midtown Arts Center (HMAC) Capitol Room - Harrisburg

    It was a great concert. The venue was awesome and had lots of room. Angelmaker stole the show but all the bands before were great as well. Alluvial and Reflections have sick music!

    Angelmaker was insane, Veil of Maya brought the energy.

    by dani on 2/11/24Baltimore Soundstage - Baltimore

    Angelmaker was insane, Veil of Maya brought the energy. I was already a VoM fan, now I am an Angelmaker fan. It was also my first time seeing Until I wake and their performance was on par with the other headliners. They looked like stars. Unfortunately, I missed Alluvial.
