Veil Of Maya - It's Torn Away Lyrics

This album still musically stumps all of their rest.
It's not safe to swim today, please go back to this album.

I still listen to this song! #2019

There’s just no way around it. This is VoM at their absolute best, full stop. It makes me sad that we don’t get this type of album often.

Albums like Nocturnal by TBDM or Planetary Duality by The Faceless. Just 100% solid albums that demand they be listened to front to back that are also filled with deathmetal/core/progdeath/techdeath/melodeath/“whatever other sub-genre you wanna call it” classics.

I wish the genre would start melting faces again with gnarly riffs rather than all the chugga chug, downtuned open chords and 1/4 tempo breakdowns. I mean, it’s heavy. It’s just boring sometimes.

I just recently came across planetary duality by the faceless and i can say its one of my favorites but tcmc is easily my favorite metal album of all time

Remember when you could easily tell it was VOM 10 seconds into a song?

emotion conveyed here is really something.. human struggle and the divine beyond...

I am 29. I bought this album the day it came out. And hands down one of the best breakdowns ever to this day. It will never get old.

I think we can all agree 2:22 is "Not Fucking Around Time"

I still have this album on CD 🤗

Why do they slap so hard

...why not.😆🤘

4:13 my favorite 5 seconds of metal ever

jck 1794 so short but so sweet; half the reason I listen to this song 😂

God I miss those vocals.. I miss this veil of maya..

Slowly the path begins to crumble and schflplit. OOHHH

What does the lyrics mean?

I think he's trying to say something 🤔

years ago my old boss said you'll change what you listen to when you get older. 10 years later. I GUESS I SEE WHO I AM NOW!

This song sounds so metalcore inna lot of different areas.

This is amazing.

tbh the intro is the best part for me. those blazing tech death riffs, blast beat drumming and machine gun fills along with the prog time signature changes. this is a masterpiece. we need more metal like this

MArk says that maybe its time for another common mans collapse, sadly brandon is not in vom anymore

OHH MY GOD i never heard this album before, awesome!!

so glad i came back to this album such tasty riffs

This whole album is brilliant! Nice fuckin' job VOM. You guys are particularly great live too. Keep it up!

This band has so much GODAMN potential it's absurd. First 2min I only stayed because the drummer and guitar rifts were amazing. When the vocalist stopped his embarrassing chortling, his screaming was solid AF. He was totally carried by the rest of the band by far though.

TOO BAD THIS VOCALIST LEFT AND THEIR NEW ONE IS A PUSSY

idk i mean brandon is a monster. the gurgly false chords he does are so difficult to do, yet the real marvel is his lung capacity. this man sounds just as perfect live which is unheard of with vocalists like this. i mean i have been using, practicing, and performing the same technique he does for three years and i still don’t have a third of his breath control.

Song is sick as a whole, but 2:20 really does it for me man.

And to think that I found these guys fantastic during the Eclipse era when I saw them live. HOLY SHIT! This absolutely blows my mind!

also its all about 4:18 to the end

YESSS!!! I have always loved that part!

one of the songs they made that has like no repeats

one hundred percent, this album from beginning to end, as a guitarist who sometimes dabbles in other instruments, i have to say the musicianship is so beautifully diverse, a rollercoaster ride of emotions with this song to top it off and bring you down the last incline. Reminds me that their are still boundaries to pushed on guitar, start to lose hope with all of the riff and style regurgitation going on these days.

one of my all time favorite songs. I miss this veil so much. I still love them but, man these days were the absolute shit.

Chris Crowe MIKASA is a really cool song m8

+Nordy Zirangua I know I like the new album alot, it's just common man's collapse is amazing and I miss the style of it in a way. shit even eclipse was amazing. one of my favorite albums ever. codex on ID I will always jam because it's just so melodically brutal and beautiful.

been jamming this album again a lot lately; holy fuck i miss this vom so much

Been jammin this since it was fresh. Named my (now) 7 yr old pet after them. Very sad that they arent still this VoM

Me almost everyday

Word. The only thing I don't like about the new VoM is that they aren't playing riffs like the old VoM.

@James Hill Mark has to be itching to break out his technical riffage my man.

bro even now in 2019 im jammin all this old stuff that has brandon and the new vocalist just doesnt even compare

3:30 bb pls

The best

This is the greatest song of all time.

2:20, right there baby, right there.

one of the greatest songs of its kind

+dkskate Indeed man. I don't know where music is going anymore. Each subgenre of Core is becoming worse and worse. This was the pinnacle of Hardcore and it's Core brothers, along with it's Djenty cousins.

yeah it's all slowly becoming the same. almost all the bands, especially those pictured in the video are heading in the same direction. there is some good djent out there, but their djentifying influences are just horrible. same screams, same clean vocals, same melodies, no flow, no speed, one string, one chord, boring stuff. like BoO and Periphery and VoM. Three albums - New reign, Common man's collapse and Periphery 1 - best albums of those three bands.

@Marko Ivančičević The Discovery is BoO's best album in all honesty. The Common Man's Collapse is always going to be the best VoM ever puts out, and as for Periphery, I can't speak for them, as i'm not a fan of them, however, Exist by Reflections will always be their best as well. And.. they went to trash also..

@Malcefium Mike well. it seems that it is a matter of "to each his own" :D

I've had the 2:58 riff stuck in my head for years now.

A little late, but for me it’s 0:58. I hope there’s still people that respect this for what it is.

Since 2012. Literally. That riff. Has brought me back everytime.

@Dirty Dan no kidding me too. don't suppose you're maltese?

@mick nukselp i am not

i will miss this style, personally i didn't like at all the cleans on their new song but is still a good song.

Wish this had the new singer on it, parts of this song would be great with clean singing.

Aaron Hooper Ew. Fuck off

Aaron Hooper, you must be gay

Im with you mate fuck just screams when you can have cleans and screams eh!

and that's the reason why alll hardcore VOM fans will love this album over their new shit.

Veil of Maya has some fucking amazing work, but this one just gives me goose bumps like no other

@Stroodle01588 yeah but its amazing to get those goose bumps

Everyone is talking about the sequence at 2:58 but god damn this whole song and this whole album makes me feel that way. I cant get enough.

the intro is a BMTH - Pray For Plagues rip off 

get your ears checked. sounds nothing like pray for plagues

@Aleksander Abdulov I can find tons of Pray For Plagues rip offs like this one if you want me to
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4L87GW2xUE

Sounds nothing like Pray for Plagues...

Veil of maya are so far beyond bmth it's not even funny

@Brendon stacey no shit, who even would compare the 2 lmfao

anybody know of anyother bands that sound similar to this?

@Kingtunice after the burial and delusions of grandeur

Born of Osiris - the new reign (the album in the bottom right panel) is pretty similar to this

+loganthewizard spencer Sotelo (peripherys vocalist) is not the singer of vom..

Born of Osiris sounds nothing like Veil of Maya. Born of Osiris sucks.

*Shores of Elysium

2:20 tho

Mark Okubo \m/

Best song of Veil of Maya. Hands down.

Nope. Mark the lines or Mowgli.

this one is the best and forever

That riff at 2:58 tho

3:30 onwards is just unreal.

you mean 0:00 onward is unreal

What a breakdown. I want Okubo's hands for this christmas.

ITS TORN AWAY! WHEN I TRY TO HOLD ON! (fucking epic, I don't care who you are.)

This song is badass. 0:50- 1:50 is so beautiful

I do that every day and it doesn't hurt a bit

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!! ya!!!! im cool

haha getm chicka ...hell yeah.... \m/ \m/

HAHAHAHA KILLYOURFUCKINGSELF BRO XD

i had a life boob once, now i play this song :D

I will give my life boob to play this song..... :D

Whoa.... these guys are addictive

One of veils best songs .. Just awesome :D

FUCKING INSANE RIFFS

Atmospheric? i think Eclipse is their most "atmospheric" album, TCMC is straight up technical metal, [id] is tuned down a little bit with slower parts, and Eclipse uses the most synth and ambient shit, such as Numerical Scheme and other songs

I definitely agree, I'm a massive [id] fan and Eclipse is pretty good as well, but this will always be my favorite. Michael Keene is a damn good producer (and VoM are great musicians of course)

Eclipse was way better than [id] which to me went in too deep ( \m/ ) for my tastes, but The Common Mans Collapse always wins in my heart.

Hello everybody!
Watch my guitar cover of this song :) /watch?v=KcR93-ptJbI

Me like

YES, so good my friend

Breakdown of sanity and veil of many are two differnt metal bands they dont compare they both excell in tje art of amazing music and are my top 2 structures on the other hand is decent ive seen em once pretty brutal but could be cleaner

That riff is a bitch to play! Ive been trying to learn it.

so nasty.

4:05 is so brutal. JESUS.

Correction.. * 0:00 - 5:02

this should get like + 10 - 20? more million views... wtf

2:20 - 3:00 that riff!!

I agree.

A similar tone of guitar I've found is Breakdown of Sanity. Their album Mirrors has a similar deep guitar tone as well as similar vocals.

Breakdown of Sanity is quite good in my opinion.

I presume that you have heard of Structures, since they are on Sumerian Records like Veil of Maya.

Structures has a very similar (and questionably more brutal) guitar tone, but it's contrasted by clean vocals and pop blasts.

Both are worth looking into.

yea, the new stuff is very overproduced, you can tell they spent less time writing/playing and more time "fixing" things in a studio. that's what record companies do to you though, what're ya gonna do

2:58 Best riff ever!

i feel the exact same way about early As I Lay Dying. VoM is so legit.

This is probably to me one of VoM's best songs. The galloping riff leading up near the end and then 2:57 - 3:31 is the sickest riff ever.

I'd have to disagree with that. Asking Alexandria has some decent songs.

Do they have any songs where they don't really scream? I love it as much as the next guy but somtimes I just like a little bit of mellow and I these guys would sound good

i still agree with myself on this

0:00 - 5:02 Is fucking wicked! :P

this is a good one
just kidding its a DAMN GOOD ONE

Yeah I love how they sound on this album, I really never get sick of it. I do say that I also like id and eclipse, but this album is incredible.

Breakdowns:)

0:00 - 5:02 AMAZING RIFF!!!!

Err mer Gerd! Veirl erv Meryer!!!

AGREED

2:20 - 2:47 = eargasm

This song is simply their best song ever written.

I fucking love 0:50-1:50

yeah... its like a... semi-breakdown

<3u2 ;)

your intelligence is intolerably horrid. holy shit, i hope you contract a sexually transmitted disease. you are Fucking stupid.

I really love the new album, its my favorite actually .
But all their albums are just pure orgasmic .

Over 4 years later and this is still my favorite song ever.

The double bass when put together with the guitar doing some chugs had a very crushing sound to it. I really miss it.

Do I even have to acknowledge how ignorant you are?

The fuck... his throat must be bleeding. Honestly, painful to listen to...

it a compound measure of 4/4 then 5/4, then it repeats

I always get aggressive whenever I listen to this

3:30 - 3:51 = absolutely fucking wicked!
