About The Black Veils
Formed in 2014 out of the collaboration of Gregor Samsa (AKA gregorsamsaestmort), Filippo Scalzo (Caron Dimonio) and Mario d’Anelli (European Ghost), The Black Veils write angry and miserable post-punk songs while based in Bologna, Italy. They released two albums in 2015 and 2017, respectively: the self-produced Blossom and Dealing with Demons (Atmosphere Records).
Leonardo Cannatella (BeStrass, Leva) joins as the new drummer in early 2018, delivering his first performance as the band shares the stage with Drab Majesty. Between 2017 and 2019 The Black Veils keep on touring through Europe and writing new songs on and off the road for their third chapter. Following the release of three more singles by french label Icy Cold Records in 2020 and early 2021 (Hyenas, Lamourlamort, Rabbits), the band 3rd album Carnage, came out in November 2021 also thorugh Icy Cold Records.
