Veil of Maya
Veil of Maya is an American metalcore band formed in Chicago in 2004. It consists of guitarist Marc Okubo, drummer Sam Applebaum, and bassist Danny Hauser. They are signed to Sumerian Records and have released seven albums.
Veil of Maya formed in 2004 in Chicago, Illinois, after the breakup of melodic death metal band Insurrection, which led members Marc Okubo (lead guitar), Sam Applebaum (drums), and Kristopher Higler (bassist) to start a new project. Guitarist Timothy Marshall and vocalist Adam Clemans joined shortly thereafter.
After recording a self-released demo in 2005, guitarist Scott Okarma briefly joined the group, participating in local shows and early touring. At this point, Veil of Maya were a six-piece band with three guitarists, but this only lasted for a few months before both Marshall and Okarma left the band. Bryan Ruppell replaced them both on rhythm guitar thus reverting their lineup back to five members.
With this five member line-up, the band recorded, self-produced, and released their debut full-length album All Things Set Aside through Corrosive Recordings on November 7, 2006.
In early 2007 Ruppell left the band and the rest of the members decided not to search for a new rhythm guitarist, leaving Veil of Maya as a four-piece. In September 2007, vocalist Clemans also left the group, leading Veil of Maya to enlist the help of then 20-year-old Brandon Butler, former vocalist of the Indiana metal band Iscariot.
In January 2008, after heightened exposure from interviews and successful tours, Veil of Maya signed with Sumerian Records. Veil of Maya's second album, The Common Man's Collapse was recorded with Butler in 2008 and released the same year. Shortly after the album release, original bassist Kristopher "Kris" Higler left the band, and was replaced by Matthew C. Pantelis, formerly of Born of Osiris.
After their second album's release, the following several months held extensive touring before the writing and recording for the group's third full-length, Id began. Id was released on April 6, 2010, and reached number 107 on the Billboard 200. The band worked again with producer Michael Keene from The Faceless for this album, who previously produced The Common Man's Collapse. The album itself holds several concepts and references to popular culture, especially television shows.
After the release of Id, Pantelis also left the band, which led to Danny Hauser replacing him in 2010. On January 13, 2012, Sumerian Records released a teaser for Veil of Maya's next album, Eclipse. On January 17, the single "Vicious Circles" was released on the iTunes Store. Eclipse was then released on February 28, 2012 and was produced and co-written by Periphery guitarist Misha Mansoor.
