‘Lifting The Veil’…Again

Vocalist Dr D emphasises the significance of revisiting the past. “Our fanbase has grown tremendously since our early singles. We want to share the journey with our fans, both new and old. To relive the excitement that accompanied each single release.”

Guitarist, engineer, and producer Alec sheds light on ‘Lifting the Veil.’ “This single promises to be a 200bpm thrasher. Reminding everyone that Chaos Doctrine is first and foremost about metal.”

‘Lifting the Veil,’ is a relentless thrasher that marries Chaos Doctrine’s signature dark industrial edge with thunderous guitar riffs. Vocalist Dr D and guitarist Phil, the creative minds behind the track, conceived its core at the end of 2021. The song earned the prestigious spot as the first single. This, due to its heavy, fast, and unapologetically metal essence.
