Meridian Veil Announce Inventive Debut Album ‘Forgotten Sun’

For fans of heavy music, the four stars of Meridian Veil are easy to spot. Guitarist Danny Marino, vocalist Matt McGachy, drummer Dylan Gowan and cellist Raphael Weinroth-Browne are known not only across their native Canada but around the world as members of The Agonist, Cryptopsy, Seven Spires and Leprous. Now, together, they’re pushing themselves to even greater emotional extremes with their new progressive metal band’s inventive debut album. At once bold, blistering and beautiful, Forgotten Sun is a timely reminder of everything that makes us human.

“From the beginning, more than 20 years ago, I wanted Meridian Veil to be deeply emotional”, Marino says. “Even though Forgotten Sun gets heavy, there’s a deep longing that runs through the cautionary tale at the album’s core”.

Today, Meridian Veil are officially announcing Forgotten Sun by premiering its thrilling music video for the album’s epic opener and lead single, “The Watcher”
