Unveiled was the project of Hansen (Hüebsch Originators, Cant, UFO).
In 1995 the project released the album "Crudelis Et Invictus" as a three-piece band,

(Hansen, Mikkel T.Ørnebjerg, Kris B. Prasada Rao), but dissolved shortly after.
The album featured more guitars, riffs and bombastic elements than the later releases.
In the end of the nineties Unveiled was brought back to life again by Hansen as a solo project.
In 2000, Unveiled's second album, "Silver" was released through World Serpent Distribution,

followed by a split album with Sol Invictus, Matt Howden and Sieben.
The split album featured one long and building track of ritual strength.
In 2003 the split album "Chance Meeting Of Nurse With Wound And Unveiled On Charlottenborg"  

with Nurse With Wound was produced to commemorate an exhibition of Steven Stapleton's work in Denmark.
The Unveiled tracks for this split were made up of samples from the Nurse With Wound and Current 93 back catalogue.
The same year "Winter Songs" was released, with four tracks originally composed

for a public ritual performance that took place in Copenhagen with reverend Steven Leyba Johnson in 2001.
Unveiled also appeared on the 2006 5-cd set compilation "Not Alone" (with the track "Endless", 

featuring Kim Larsen of :Of The Wand & The Moon: on vocals), alongside such artists as Current 93,

Antony, Jarboe, The Angels Of Light, Aube, Coil, Hafler Trio and many others.
The band eventually dissolved and Hansen formed Slagskygge as a continuation of Unveiled,
with an updated sound and influences of post-black metal and dubstep, while maintaining the industrial core.
