With a reputation for creating immersive sonic landscapes that transport listeners to shadowy realms, Cloak has once again proven their mastery of the dark arts with this latest offering.
Formed in 2013, Cloak has steadily built a dedicated following with their unique sound and captivating live performances. Drawing inspiration from classic metal acts such as Celtic Frost and Mercyful Fate, as well as more contemporary bands like Tribulation and Ghost, Cloak has carved out a niche for themselves in the metal underground with their brooding melodies, sinister riffs, and evocative lyrics.
“Veil of Darkness” is set to be a concept album that delves into themes of occultism, mysticism, and the eternal struggle between light and darkness. Lead vocalist and guitarist Scott Taysom describes the album as a sonic journey that will envelop listeners in a shroud of gloom and mystery, inviting them to explore the hidden corners of their own psyches.
The first single from the album, “In the Darkness, the Path,” sets the tone for what promises to be a chilling and immersive listening experience. With its driving rhythms, haunting melodies, and Taysom’s powerful vocals weaving a tale of forbidden knowledge and spiritual awakening, the track showcases Cloak’s ability to create atmosphere and tension with their music.
Fans of the band can expect a more mature and refined sound on “Veil of Darkness,” with Cloak pushing the boundaries of their sonic palette while staying true to their roots. Guitarist Max Brigham’s intricate riffing and moody solos, combined with the thunderous rhythm section of bassist Matt Scott and drummer Sean Bruneau, create a dense and hypnotic backdrop for Taysom’s mesmerizing vocals.
In a recent interview, Taysom revealed that the band drew inspiration from a wide range of sources for the album, including literature, mythology, and personal experiences. He emphasized the importance of creating a cohesive and immersive listening experience for the audience, with each track flowing seamlessly into the next to form a complete narrative arc.
