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.
Raw and Unfiltered: Over 240 photographs across 320 pages featuring renowned artists like Emperor, Dimmu Borgir, Mayhem, Sólstafir or Dool, alongside underground bands such as Mare, Svartidauði, Djevel, Antaeus and One Tail, One Head.
The Inner Sanctum: Unpublished, rare, and exclusive moments from behind the scenes—including bands that usually operate strictly in the shadows.
The Stories Untold: Personal essays and anecdotes from a decade on the road all over Europe, including poetic texts written by the featured musicians themselves, crafted exclusively for Beyond the Veil.
Premium Print Quality: This limited deluxe artbook features an open Swiss brochure binding and is printed in Pantone colors to perfectly preserve the unmistakable, signature Void Revelations style.
After a decade on the road and six years of intensive curation, the massive artbook Beyond the veil is finally unleashed via Darkness Shall Rise Productions. To celebrate this event, an exclusive exhibition will run in the Grieghallen, showcasing prints from the book as well as previously unreleased and completely unseen photographs.
