About Me


CLICK BELOW FOR THE OFFICIAL ONLINE MERCH & RECORD STORE


nottingham’s illuminatus are one Spaniard, one German, one Italian and one English gent. their debut album, The Wrath Of The Lambs, is packed with powerful soundscapes, emotive melodies and soaring dynamics, all set strongly against the current trend of ever more brutality and ignorance in underground music. for illuminatus there is no scene; no bandwagon; no fashion war. illuminatus sing about social and political issues and play with pure passion and honesty.
following their previous collaborations with producers Harvey Birrell (Therapy?, Ministry) and Pete 'Pee-Wee' Coleman (AC/DC, Black Sabbath), the music of illuminatus has already drawn comparisons to bands such as Anathema and Paradise Lost, earning the band significant acclaim and respect from all sections of the national and international rock/metal press - "some of the most beautiful, moving music since Anathema" (Powerplay), "combining brawn with surprising depth" (Kerrang) - as well as frequent air time on shows such as Malcolm Dome's New World Order on Total Rock Radio and ScuzzTV's New Skids on the Block.
the band's high impact live performances have resulted in a mass of loyal fans. and despite their unsigned status, it was this energy that resulted in the band supporting acts such as Breed77, Children of Bodom, Dragon Force, Nightwish, Paradise Lost, Saxon and Skindred, as well as several high profile appearances at the UK's Bloodstock and Bulldog Bash festivals. and with their appearance as the only non-US band at the Famecast Finals in Austin, Texas, illuminatus have already achieved unprecedented worldwide exposure.
with the release of The Wrath of the Lambs, illuminatus continue to roll out their War Machine. be ready to join the revolution at a venue near you soon!

"Melodic, atmospheric, powerful, the foursome have been on the edge of something special for ages. Now debut album "The Wrath of the Lambs" threatens to make them heroes for 2008. Get excited now"
RockSound, February 2008
