THE ILLUMINATI

THE ILLUMINATI ARE DEAD. LONG LIVE THE ILLUMINATI

About Me


The Illuminati are not a typical modern band. There is no gimmick. There is only the consuming roar of elegantly crafted rock music. Taking their name from the shadowy secret society purported to control the world, The Illuminati are the majority share of the now-defunct garage metal band Tchort.
They offer a refreshing return to musical virtuosity - conjuring wild spectres rock 'n roll's greatest legacies. Sneaky details like moments of metal-blues fusion and impeccably written noodley jazz codas recall a time before today's genre-bound constraints. It is time to expect more music. It is time to return to a sense of wonder. It is time for The Illuminati.
