About illuminatus - The Wrath Of The Lambs: OUT NOW
CLICK BELOW FOR THE OFFICIAL ONLINE MERCH & RECORD STORE
illuminatus are one Spaniard, one German, one Italian and one English gent. They deal in expansive soundscapes, razor-sharp dynamics and no-nonsense melodic song-writing. For illuminatus there exists no scene; no bandwagon; no fashion war.
The debut album, 'The Wrath Of The Lambs', was released on Monday, 26 May, via Ant Hill Records (Panic Cell / Adema / Screamin' Lords / Speed Theory) with nationwide distribution through Pinnacle Records. The album has gained the attention of the UK music press, with great reviews in Kerrang!, Metal Hammer and countless online webzines. Tracks from the album have also gained airplay on Bruce Dickinson's BBC6 Rock Show, and the band have been playlisted on TotalRock Radio, gaining regular airplay on rotation. The first music video, 'Wait', is due to air soon.
In May/June 2008 illuminatus were part of the UK leg of Ministry's final world tour (C-U-LaTour), supporting the band on some of the UK dates of the iconic farewell tour.
In the summer of 2007 illuminatus stormed to the finals of Famecast, and international talent showcase featuring hundreds of bands from around the world. The band were flown out to Austin, Texas where they performed a high-energy set to a television audience which was broadcast live to millions of people, earning the band unprecedented exposure in the United States and beyond.
Following their collaborations on previous EPs with producers Harvey Birrell (Therapy?, Ministry) and Pete 'Pee-Wee' Coleman (AC/DC, Paradise Lost), the music of illuminatus have already drawn comparisons to bands such as Anathema, Paradise Lost, Deftones and Cult of Luna, earning the band significant acclaim and respect from all sections of the national and international music press, whilst gaining particularly glowing reviews from Germany, France and Scandinavia for their unique brand of melodic and powerful music.
With The Wrath Of The Lambs now on nationwide release through Anthill / Pinnacle Records, illuminatus continue to roll out their War Machine, with a UK tour scheduled for July/August 2008 and European plans also in place, with shows in Italy already confirmed for November 2008, including an appearance at next year's DarkFest in Bologna, Italy. In addition, the band are also in the process of writing new material for their follow-up album, scheduled for release in early 2009.
"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"
