Forest Veil is the moniker of Portland producer, multi-instrumentalist, and songwriter, Monica Metzler. Forest Veil makes dynamic music, with enigmatic lyricism and masterful musicality, to create a distinct, hypnotic psych-folk sound.

Caldera (EP) is Forest Veil’s most recent release with Spirit House Records, the label she co-founded with Johanna Warren in 2016. Caldera was born during an Artist-in-Residency at Caldera Arts– an arts and environmental immersion program in the mountains of Sisters, Oregon. 

Forest Veil’s music has been synched in ads, movies, and TV shows such as NBC’s The Black List. An avid guitarist for over 25 years, Metzler also plays piano, synths, flutes, and percussion. She currently plays drums in the all femme band, Pool Boys.
