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:
Caleb Braudrick - Vocals
Ché Fitzgerald - Guitar
Dave Affentranger - Bass
Al Garrison - Drums
Caleb Braudrick comes from a variety of musical backgrounds. Playing live music in styles as diverse as folk, country, punk, and metal, Caleb's relationship with music has been extremely unique. For 3 years, Caleb was the voice of Nitetime 91 in Oklahoma City, a live radio program focused on metal, punk, hardcore, and everything in between. Caleb is extremely excited about what his vocal and writing style brings to Veil of Suffering.
Dave Affentranger comes from hardcore/metal band Eleven Hours Down. EHD was a fairly successful band that started in the mid 1990's. Eleven Hours Down was in the forefront of the sing/scream metal trend which has become par for the course for bands like As I Lay Dying and many others. EHD has played with the likes of Selfmindead, Living Sacrifice, Spoken, Underoath, and Eso Charis. Eleven Hours Down gathered a fairly substantial following and recorded several CD's. Their last effort which was expected to release with Bettie Rocket Records was never released.
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.
