DREAMLESS VEIL is an extreme metal band composed of Artificial Brain guitarist Dan Gargiulo, Inter Arma/Artificial Brain vocalist Mike Paparo, and Psycroptic drummer Dave Haley.

The band’s debut, Every Limb Of The Flood, is a blackened concept album that follows the travails of Grief, a character who awakens from extended debauchery and begins the slow and torturous process of trying to disappear completely. Through tracks such as “A Generation Of Eyes,” “Saturnism,” and “Cyanide Mine,” vocalist Mike Paparo and company task the listener to consider what it would be like for an individual to fully disappear. DREAMLESS VEIL delves into this murk through eight tracks – dramatic swells, melodic crescendos, and abrasive blast-beat poundings make way to more introspective moments ultimately resulting in pure horror.

Paparo explores the concept of corporeal disintegration with pained shrieks and disembodied bellows, resulting in one of the most unchained performances of his storied career. Lyrics for the record show, but don’t tell. DREAMLESS VEIL‘s concept alludes to misery leading to grotesquery. The opener “Dim Golden Rave” throws the listener into an ambiguous time and place: “Grief, spiritless, collapses against the filth-ridden street.” The second track, “A Generation Of Eyes,” follows this narrative by invoking Neil Young, quoting him to the extent of “rust never sleeps.” What ensues is a grief so powerful it decomposes from within. The end result manifests in the album closer “Dreamless.” The body is now fully discarded, hinting at a possible enlightenment through a horrible, gruesome process.

Sonically, Every Limb Of The Flood is a caustic, corrosive journey. Haley flexes some of his most creative drum work to date, dragging the listener through wild tempo changes, breakneck speeds that come to sudden halts, Gargiulo interweaves disorienting guitar madness.

Every Limb Of The Flood  was recorded by Brett Bamberger (Revocation), Every Limb Of The Flood was mixed by Gargiulo and mastered by Colin Marston (Gorguts, Krallice).

“It’s a concept album, a bleak narrative musing on what it would be like to fully disappear, to cease to exist, set to a tangle of black metal discordance.” — Decibel Magazine

“…lives up to the project’s intense description” — Stereogum

“…a mix of black metal and death metal – with a healthy dose of atmospheric heaviness thrown in…” — Metal Injection

“…furious, suspenseful black metal…” – BrooklynVegan

“Prepare for blasting pistons driving a surge of sweeping, wildfire-like riffage that converts into a nest of writhing serpents mind-lost in agony, coupled with the echoing of mind-shearing screams. The music also swings, swirls, seems to yearn with the fervency of rapidly vanishing hopes, and becomes brittle and broken at the end.” — No Clean Singing on “A Generation Of Eyes”

“At the end of Every Limb Of The Flood, Grief becomes one of us, tired of having had to endure a string of hardships and just wanting to fade away forever. The timeframe in which DREAMLESS VEIL created this music was during a span when it seemed like our lives never would return to normal, and in a way they haven’t. This album pulls from one of the darkest periods of recent memory and helps us relive those days over eight thunderous, thought-provoking crushers that reminds us we survived somehow, some way.” — Meat Mead Metal Pick Of The Week

“Black metal with death metal patches is DREAMLESS VEIL’s aim, making this project stand away from their other ones. There’s an endless array of emotions, mostly negative, being worked through on Every Limb Of The Flood and the group makes it sink-or-swim for the listener. Either they will welcome the depression or become unable to process it; that’ll be the barometer that will land the band those willing and able.” – Heavy Music HQ
