Crushing Riffs and Haunted Minds: Velvet Chains’ “How The Story Ends”

Velvet Chains is hitting it with full force. Their latest single, “How The Story Ends,” hooks you from the very first riff and never lets up. Chaz Terra’s vocals slice through the wall of guitars with fierce precision, turning every lyric into a blow that lands straight in the chest.

The band’s lineup is sharp and cohesive, with Chaz Terra on vocals, Philip Paulsen on lead guitar and backing vocals, Jason Hope behind the drums, Von Boldt on rhythm guitar and backing vocals, and Nils Goldschmidt, the sole founding member, anchoring the sound on bass and vocals, providing the band’s unmistakable backbone.

With an already impressive track record, the band has toured extensively across the U.S. and beyond, including three intense runs through South America. They’ve shared stages with rock heavyweights such as SLASH, Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators, Stone Temple Pilots, Hinder, and Sepultura.

Musically, Velvet Chains rides the line between alternative metal and melodic rock, capturing your attention from the first note. Fans of Light Up The Sky and Black Veil Brides will instantly connect with their sound, soaring choruses, crushing riffs, and a rhythm section that never loses momentum.

The official video for “How The Story Ends” cranks the intensity even higher. Chaz Terra portrays a man confined to a mental institution, wrestling with his inner demons while a hauntingly alluring nurse attends to him in this surreal world. The dark imagery mirrors the song’s emotional weight, transforming it into an immersive experience.

Nils Goldschmidt puts it best: “How The Story Ends is about searching for meaning in a world that has become uncertain and broken. It’s a reflection on loss, change, and the quiet yet brutal act of gathering what’s left of your life. It remains the most hauntingly raw and emotionally charged song we’ve ever written.”

Velvet Chains is in top form, proving that hard rock still has room for bands that hit hard and keep crowds hooked from start to finish.
