Chicagos finest Veil Of Maya has been on the metal music seen for a few years now and they have released to full length albums. One being "All Things Set Aside" and the other being "The Common Man's Collapse." Now obviously I think that "The Common Man's Collapse" is better but that doesnt mean that "All Things Set Aside" isn't an amazing cd because it is. However I'm not here to talk about that cd. Ok so basically Veil of Maya's "The Common Man's Collapse" has to be my favorite cd ever. Veil of Maya is a tech/deathcore/progressive metal band and they are amazing. The cd first starts out with the song "wounds" which is really more of an intro and it starts with this high toned whining guitar and than a breakdown smashes in on top of it. This really sets a good tone for the whole cd. It shows that it will be both beautiful and brutal at the same time which it pull of flawlessly. An example of this is the song "It's Not Safe to Swim Today" Which opens with a nice fast guitar riff and speeds itself right into a heavy thrash beat. No other metal band I know can pull off all these smooth transitions or complicated riff structures like Veil of Maya can. My other favorite thing about this cd is the production and mixing quality. It is purely amazing. This cd is so crisp and well produced there is no fuzzing or echo and every instrument is clearly audible. I have no gripes at all with this cd. Over all I would give it a 10 out of 10 any day.
