Beyond the Veil

Isn’t the worldview where beauty and ferocity dramatically intersect the very allure of gothic metal? This piece, included on the Norwegian band Tristania’s landmark album Beyond the Veil, is the very embodiment of that.

The sonic tapestry woven by angelic soprano, beastly death growls, and solemn male clean vocals is truly overwhelming.

It feels as if it depicts the cry of a soul struggling in search of the truth hidden beyond the veil.

Released in September 1999, this work is also known as the last album to feature key member Morten Veland.

On nights when you want to immerse yourself in a world of fantastical tales, surrender yourself to this profound sea of sound.
