Formed in 1994, the band’s original lineup featured Raoul Festante on vocals, Nils Nordmann on guitar, Florian Schul on drums, and Jens Lauterbach on bass. VEIL quickly released two EPs on Threesome Records, followed by their 1996 full-length debut, The Burden of Life, on Frontline Records.
 

The following year saw the band embark on two European tours with 108 and Biohazard. In 1997, Lifeforce Records released The Works, a compilation featuring their first two 7"s alongside various other tracks and rarities.
 

VEIL’s third album, Words Against Nothing, followed in 1998 via Kingfisher Records / Century Media Records.
 

In 2000, the band released their final EP, Out of the Shadows, before eventually calling it a day and moving on to other musical endeavours.
 

Thirty years after its initial release, The Burden of Life is now available on all major streaming platforms for the first time, courtesy of SORRY SOMEHOW RECORDS.
