Veil of Suffering is a christian metal band from Oklahoma City, OK. Formed in the summer of 2007, Veil of Suffering is comprised from the remnants of fellow OKC metal band Mercy's Wake, and hardcore/metal band Eleven Hours Down. The line-up consists of the following:

N/A - Vocals
Ché Fitzgerald - Guitar
N/A- Bass
Al Garrison - Drums

Ché Fitzgerald (pronounced "Chay") and Al Garrison were the founding members of Mercy's Wake. Both have been working musically together for many years going back to the late 1990's. They were both part of a band in Junction City, KS, but initially, they didn't get along very well which ultimately led to the bands demise. Ironically, Ché and Al - without knowledge of each other's plans - moved to the OKC area about two weeks apart from each other. It was at this time that they reconciled their friendship, started creating music together, and Mercy's Wake was born. They released their first demo as a self-titled demo in the winter months of 2000. In march of 2003, they had completed their second demo entitled, "Tame the Dragon." As Mercy's Wake, the band would go on for several years playing live shows as often as possible throughout the southwest region of the U.S.
