Over a span of ten years, the photographer behind the anonymous photo project Void Revelations has captured rare visual impressions from the realms of extreme metal and rock, manifesting them across 320 pages. »Beyond the veil« is not just a book — it is a exploration for those hidden moments between claustrophobically small backstage rooms and massive festival stages; the moments suspended between ecstasy and exhaustion; testaments of corpse paint, sweat, blood, and the scent of incense.
