After the successful release of the song “Becoming, (R)evolution,” progressive metal trio Phase Transition, are now set to release the new single, “Veil of Illusions.” The track comes from the group’s forthcoming debut album, In Search of Being, due out on June 6th, 2025.
The band comprised of violinist/vocalist Sofia Beco, guitarist Luís Dias, and drummer Fernando Maia, say this about the track:
“The song explores themes of self-doubt and personal discovery that are part of adulthood, including progressive guitar riffs and virtuosic solos that elevate its intensity.”

Writing for the album started in 2023 when guitarist Luís Dias was in Barcelona for a while. The band worked on the music remotely which took about a year and a half to lay down, then another six months to produce and record everything. The final production, mixing, and mastering was done with the help of former Anathema member Daniel Cardoso, at Öhme Studio.

Since then, they have been playing in several venues like HardClub and festivals such as Comendatio Music Fest. The band combines influences ranging from classical music to technical progressive metal, as a result of the eclectic backgrounds of the members.
