Illuminandi recorded two demos; ’Demo I’ (four tracks) in 2000 and Demo II (3 tracks) in 2002. Demo II caused some stir in the underground press and eventually got the band signed to Bombworks Records, who in 2005 released the two demos together with a couple of live tracks on one CD entitled The Beginning.
Since Illuminandis style was gradually developing towards the darker, metal edge, it soon became evident for the band that they needed someone to handle the aggressive vocals. Thus Rajmund "Melon" Jelen reinforced the band with his powerful growls and screams.
It was in this line-up that Illuminandi recorded their last effort up to date, a 5-song EP entitled Illumina Tenebras Meas. This Latin title means Illuminate My Darknes. Initially, the MCD was to include 4 songs in Polish and one in English, but the band decided to re-record the Polish tracks in English. Thus, the MCD is going to be available in two versions, Polish and English. The songs are varied, the production is better than ever. Prepare for an intense mixture of crushing guitar riffs, pounding bass, raging drums, soothing sounds of cello and violin, powerful growls and screams and emotional clean vocals. You can call it gothic, symphonic, hardcore or death metal, but its simply Illuminandi. The group is currently looking for a label to release the English version of their EP.
