Veil is a new Greek metal band, they formed back in 2003 and so far this is their debut demo CD with the title "Forest Oblivion". Also they have played a live show in their hometown before some months and during the spring they record this demo. This release begins with a "strange" intro which personally i didn't like it. I like more the first minute from the second track. Maybe the band wants to have a different intro than the usual and if they choose this root i think they make it. Musically the band has made a combination of death and doom metal elements, imagine the music from My Dying Bride and then you will have a small picture of the stuff from Veil. Because i like this kind of metal i adore hearing new bands to perform music like this and when i hear the stuff from Veil i see that it is a band with a lot of potential and if they will continue to work hard maybe they can do something in the local metal scene. I know that it is difficult to have a lot of rehearsals when all the members live in different towns but i think the passion of the music will overtake everything. Besides that their compositions are well worked with interesting ideas and as usual the keyboards give a very nice atmosphere to the whole result.
