Veil of Light is a post-punk and cold wave project that has been capturing the mood of the underground music scene with its shadowy blend of synths, guitars, and haunting vocals since its inception. Emerging from the vibrant cultural backdrop of Zürich, Switzerland, Veil of Light first pierced the cloak of obscurity with their eponymous demo in 2013. The band was initially the solo endeavor of Marcel, whose vision encapsulated a world both bleak and romantic, steeped in a reverence for 80s nostalgia while forging a unique identity.

Throughout the years, Veil of Light has evolved, refining its sound and sometimes taking on additional members for live performances, transforming into a full-fledged band. Their music is characterized by its moody ambiance, often described as a haunting intersection between gothic gloom and new wave energy. With releases like "Thieves (Veil of Light Remix)," "Sundancing," and "Hypersleep," they've shown a remarkable capacity for balance, blending driving beats with ethereal synths and stylized lyrics that evoke a sense of introspection and emotional depth. Tracks such as "Head-On Collision" and "Landslide" solidify their reputation for crafting evocative soundscapes, making them a noteworthy presence on the stages of dark wave and post-punk revival.
