Background notes
Archive material and source history
Veil formed in Britain during the late 1990s around vocalist Agnes Gleave and guitarist Evan Harris. They started playing in underground clubs, drawing from gothic and industrial sounds rather than sticking to traditional metal. Their debut album 'Martyrs' came out in 1999, establishing a dark, atmospheric style that would carry through later records like 'The Scarlet Veil' and 'The Dark Age'.
Some of their material stirred up trouble. The song 'Mater Maternis,' which deals with religious imagery, drew criticism from certain groups. Their live shows sometimes included theatrical elements that pushed boundaries, though the existing history doesn't specify much beyond that.
The band's core lineup settled with Gleave on vocals, Harris on guitar, Sarah Renee on bass, and Arthur Knight on drums. They never really broke into mainstream recognition, but they kept putting out music that blended metal with other textures. Another track, 'To Die Alone,' shows up in their catalog alongside 'Mater Maternis' as one of their better-known songs.
