Let’s cut the PR fluff. Veil Lifter isn’t just another “heavy” album. It’s a slow-burning exorcism wrapped in flannel and feedback, the kind of record that doesn’t just rattle your speakers, it rattles your skull. Four years after the icy electronics of It Will Come Out of Nowhere, Vancouver’s Post Death Soundtrack (Stephen Moore and Jon Ireson, with Casey Lewis on drums) have ripped off the synth pads and gone straight for the jugular with a raw, guitar-fueled descent into grunge-soaked doom and thrash-torn fury.
This isn’t nostalgia. It’s evolution. You’ll hear the DNA of Alice in Chains in Moore’s smoky, haunted vocals, the sludge of Windhand, the angular tension of Tool, and the primal snarl of The Stooges, but Veil Lifter doesn’t mimic; it metabolizes. Ten tracks of brooding riffs, hypnotic grooves, and sudden bursts of hardcore aggression, all held together by a production that feels live, unpolished, and dangerously alive. Recorded at Echo Base Studio, with Lewis handling mix and master duties, the sound is thick with atmosphere, like fog rolling over a junkyard after midnight.
Moore calls this the album he’s always wanted to make, and you believe him. Written in the wake of personal loss and mental unraveling, Veil Lifter doubles as both armor and autopsy. The lyrics don’t preach, they confess. Themes of depression, spiritual disintegration, and the search for truth aren’t just hinted at; they’re carved into the riffs like graffiti on a condemned building. The title itself, drawn from Eastern philosophy, speaks to tearing away illusion, a fitting metaphor for an album that refuses to hide behind metaphor or aesthetic.
And yes, that video for Lowdown Animal? Pure, uncut mood. Grainy, surreal, and pulsing with menace, it’s the perfect visual companion to an album that feels like a fever dream you don’t want to wake from.
Dedicated to Moore’s late father, Ted George Moore, Veil Lifter carries emotional weight that transcends genre. This isn’t just noise for noise’s sake. It’s heavy music with a heartbeat.
Streaming everywhere, because even the underground deserves a spotlight.
