VEIL TORN (Brazil -- Teresina, Piauí)

NOTE: Not to be confused with another "Veil Torn" that previously went by the name "Marturia"!



BAND NAME: Veil Torn
GENRE: Unblack Metal with Death Metal Influences
STATUS: Split-up
LOCATION: Brazil (Teresina, Piauí)

I found [this] on their PureVolume. Does anyone know what it's referencing...?

[This page] says they formed in early 2002. [This page] says they formed on 18 October, 2003. Either way, they split up in 2008.

The band name is a reference to Matthew 27:51, which mentions the veil in the temple in Jerusalem being torn in two at the moment of Jesus' crucifixion. In addition to demonstrating a miraculous act of God (since human beings did not tear this veil; it tore, ostensibly, on its own), this event also carries symbolic meaning. The place behind this veil was extremely sacred, such that no human was permitted to enter it except for a priest; and even then, the priest could only enter once per year, after ceremoniously cleansing himself. The tearing of this veil demonstrated that Christ's crucifixion became the only way to God -- no more sacrifices were necessary, because Christ was the sacrifice. There was no need for "holy places" or ceremonious cleansing; the "holy of holies" is now available to everybody, at all times, not hidden behind a curtain.

Lineup:

Discography:

Martúria (demo, May, 2003, Independent)
Format unknown

 I assume these are different versions from the ones that appear on other releases? Thus, track lengths and lyrics are currently unknown.

1) Cântico de Livramento
2) Fim do Mundo
3) Ultimato


Luto de um Cadáver (album, 2004, Independent)
Format unknown

Are we 100% sure this is a legitimate release? It's not mentioned on Veil Torn's website.
Also, on Metal Archives and a couple other places, track 1 is spelled "Deed Tanks" instead of "Deed Thanks". I assume that's just a typo, since it's spelled correctly on Veil Torn's other releases?

1) Deed Thanks for the Lord 4:00, see below for lyrics
2) Alimento da Morte 4:29, see below for lyrics
3) Cântico de Livramento 4:55, see below for lyrics

2) Alimento da Morte
4:48, lyrics:
Podres vãs gloriações, confiança em riquezas, aliança com a cova, cegos em bandeja estarás alma desgarrada recompensa nas trevas.

Malditos, a morte se alimentará da sua carne e suas riquezas não descerão a sepultura.

Pela cova descerão, perecerão como animais, passaporte para o inferno, vermes sua formosura a morte consumirá por não ter mais morada malditos, a morte se alimentará da sua carne e suas riquezas não descerão a sepultura.

A morte os rodeará até que sirvam de alimento, a sepultura
os consumirá e a sua alma no inferno queimará.

Inclinai os ouvidos ouçam a palavra de Deus subam os degraus da salvação.
Só o Senhor pode livrar a tua alma do poder da sepultura.
Recebam a cura e não temam a iniquidade que vos cercam.


3) Lugar da Caveira
5:54, lyrics:
O enviado fonte de milagres,destruidor de demônios, portador do reino dos céus a luz que ilumina o mundo das trevas, Salvador poderoso leão de judá.

Desceu dos céus para sofrer em meu lugar, os meus pecados nas costas ele carregou, o amor que superou, o infinito, suportou a cruz segundo a profecia, vergonha, dor e morte, consumação.

Pai o meu destino está consumado, meu sangue pelo
teu povo foi derramado o céu se rasgou em nome do Senhor. Desceu a terra, e como homem ele habitou, sacrificou-se Eloí, Eloí, lema sabactâni pai o meu destino está consumado, meu sangue pelo teu povo foi derramado o céu se rasgou em nome do Senhor.


4) Cântico de Livramento
5:00, lyrics:
Corações podres, corpos em destruição, é o odor do pecado exalando no ar.
Sepulcro caiado, grande em sua beleza, terrível em seu aroma fogo e enxofre de satan.
Sangue inocente, sacrifícios de terror, o que vejo espalhado em visões noturnas é a grande prostituta reinando inabalável, oferecendo multidões como holocausto ao diabo.
Senhor livra-me o Senhor pois as águas subiram e invadiram a minha alma, eu te imploro livra-me o Senhor com teu grande poder transforma essa morte em vida.
Meu Deus eu te agradeço, pois livre agora eu sou.
Minha vida eu ofereço, em forma de louvor
Meu Deus só tu és digno de receber louvor pois tua misericórdia foi o que me sustentou tu és meu rei teu sacrifício me salvou, por isso eu te louvo Jesus poderoso teu santo sangue me lavou, teu santo sangue me livrou.


5) Deed Thanks for the Lord
2:17, lyrics:
My Lord, my confession to You of more deep gratitude for deserts and beatles for wins and conquest.

Majesty of kingdom of the sky all praise glory and the power for Your name what destroy the enemy's trenches.

Lord creator, Father of light, regent of universe, only the Your love is supreme, thank you for the life and the death.

You send for the earth the Your Son to save with the death and deliver in my hands the wine-glass of justice and judged me with perfection.

title unknown (album, NOT SURE IF RELEASED)
Format: Digital

Planned to be released for free download on the band's website. They started recording in August of 2008, with plans to release it in August-September of the same year. Not sure if it ever ended up happening or not. The plan was to "prepare for the recording of an official DVD". Also not sure if that ever ended up happening.

A very, VERY rough live recording of "Pastos Negro" can be heard [here].
The song was apparently planned to be about 3½ minutes long.

??) Field of Blood
??) Floresta Negra da Perdição
?? Pastos Negro (aka Pastos Negros)
??) Deed Thanks for the Lord (new version / "new arrangement")
5 other tracks, titles unknown

title unknown (NOT SURE IF RELEASED)

The DVD that was mentioned in the notes for the album listed above.
Further info unknown.


Brutal Love 3 (Sem Misericordia na Guerra) (compilation, 18 January, 2010, Independent)
Format: Digital / 4Shared
link expired

Organized by the Brazilian blogs Brutal Warfare and Faith Hope Love.

9) Veil Torn - Ultimato 5:02, see above for lyrics
Apocalipse Alerta - Seleção Volume 1 (compilation, 13 July, 2020, Rhythm Rock Store)
Format: Digital / YouTube
Stream (OFFICIAL)

The description, translated to English:
"A compilation different from all others, aiming to warn you about the last days that will precede the rapture of His church and the coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Facts and events that are happening in the world and in the Christian environment, serve as a warning to establish our faith in Christ and prepare us for the Great Day. Rejoice, He is coming and it won't be long."

So what this means is, this is a metal compilation that features brief intermissions between each song that talk about current events in the world [in Portuguese], and how they each pertain to holy prophecies and Scripture.

14) Veil Torn - Cântico de Livramento 4:55, see above for lyrics

Miscellaneous stuff:

A more stylized version of their logo:

The original file name for this is "arte-camisas-veil-torn". "Camisas" in Portuguese refers to shirts, so apparently this is a shirt design? Anyway, notice the artwork for "Alimento ..." is adapted from this design.
