Tokyo-based progressive metal outfit Beyond the Veil has released the lyric video for “Reflection”. The track serves as a haunting precursor to the band’s highly anticipated full-length album, Oblivion, scheduled for global release on May 1st, 2026.
Few bands build their sound the way Beyond the Veil do — thrash, death, black metal, blackgaze, jazz, folk, and classical music all feeding into compositions that refuse to sit still. “Reflection” is the clearest window yet into that world. The track shifts between melodic calm and extreme intensity like the acts of an opera, each movement pulling the listener deeper into a landscape of isolation, loss, and unsettling natural beauty. It’s the kind of song that earns its length.
Set for release on May 1st, Oblivion marks a bold step forward for the quintet. The album is now available for pre-save across all major digital platforms.
