Beneath the Veil of Winter's Face is the third studio album by the Canadian rock band Mystery. It is the first Mystery album to feature Benoît David on lead vocals, and the first without former lead vocalist Gary Savoie.[2] The band's lineup remained unchanged aside from this. Originally to be recorded soon after Destiny?, it was released in 2007 due to Michel St-Père shifting his focus to his record label. This was the last album to feature bassist Patrick Bourque, who died shortly after the album's release.[3]

Production

Background

Work for Beneath the Veil of Winter's Face started around the turn of the millennium but due to various reasons, mainly Michel St-Père's work on his record label Unicorn Digital, the album took several years to complete. Originally, the album was meant to be a concept album following the rise and fall of a young artist, but then-new singer Benoît David suggested to drop the concept aspect of it.[4] The track listing was slightly different in the planning stages of the album, and was meant to include the title track from One Among the Living originally.[5]

The album was meant to be released sometime in 2000,[6] was pushed back to the fall of 2001, then pushed back to the fall of 2003,[7] and was finally released on May 15, 2007.

Recording

Beneath the Veil of Winter's Face was recorded on ADAT and then transferred to a computer for mixing.
