VEIL OF MAYA

The chicago baned Veil of Maya have definitly taken the hard road to success grinding it out on the road through countless tours over the years, but now that backbreaking schedule is paying off tenfold. This quartet are one of the few very bands that can authentically mix elements of progessive metal,melodic detah metal, trash and hardcore brutality together effectively.
