AKLASAN by DuskVeil

In a world rotting at the seams from corruption, colonial ghosts, and media-fed decay, DUSKVEIL rises from the ashes of apathy like a jagged war cry across the archipelago and beyond. Their full-length assault project, AKLASAN—a seething 13-track eruption of Filipino rebellion metal—isn’t just a project album. It’s a manifesto.

AKLASAN (Tagalog for uprising, rebellion) is a no-holds-barred detonation of metallic fury, marrying hardcore punk grit, thrash metal velocity, and blackened rage, with a righteous lyrical blaze aimed at post-colonial trauma, class warfare, state corruption, and media disinformation. This isn’t protest music that whispers from behind safety—it screams.

From the battle cry of opener “Tao ang Batas (The People Are the Law)” to the soul-scouring closer “Gobyernong Bangag (Wasted Government)”, DuskVeil spits venom and sets fire to the illusion of peace. The band’s multilingual delivery—fluidly switching between English and Tagalog—shreds complacency, casting light on historical amnesia and modern exploitation with scalpel-sharp precision.

DUSKVEIL isn’t just a project band.
They’re a movement armed with riffs.
They’re here to dismantle, not entertain.
To ignite, not numb.
This is not music for background noise.
This is the soundtrack to revolt.

This is DUSKVEIL.
This is AKLASAN.
Let the uprising begin.

DuskVeil is a battle cry born of chaos—fusing Filipino, Latin, Canadian, and American bloodlines into one explosive sonic force. Formed in late 2021, this veteran metal unit blends thrash, deathcore, and tribal rage. With members from Paglusob, Frostbite Prophet, and more, DuskVeil turns protest into power, distortion into truth.
