Ilium - Chloroform Divinity

[drstench]

How did you get the guitarists into those bottles?

[hencelta]

This is pretty good, I had never heard an australian metal band before... and I liked it ! Keep on guys ! Hails from Brazil !

[iliummetal]

@hencelta

Thanks! We have a new album called 'Genetic Memory' with Mike DiMeo from Masterplan and Riot on vocals. There are some songs on youtube- hope you like them!

[iliummetal]

Thank you!

[poopydooify]

I have gone from Dream Theater to the mad drummer steve moore to you. You are great.

[iliummetal]

Thanks very much!

[garyoldman4me]

great song !!!!

[iliummetal]

@kevinmatthewjones

I'm confused. We aren't math rock, whatever that is, we're metal and proud of it. If you like math rock that's good too. I'm not sure how we managed to spam our own page also. Obviously I'm missing something. Anyway, hope you find what you're looking for Kevin.

[kevinmatthewjones]

@iliummetal ok I'm sorry, I think I was being a bit of a git with my comment. I hope you guys do well and have a good career, your music isn't my thing but I'm glad there are people like you making it.

[iliummetal]

@kevinmatthewjones

Thanks

[kevinmatthewjones]

Is this like ironic? I was looking for the math rock band Ilium and here I am. I see ambiguity is not really their strong point when it come to lyrics (and set design, come to think of it).

[iliummetal]

@kevinmatthewjones not really worth commenting on

[XmetalXpowerX]

@kevinmatthewjones lol math rock? mathematic rock? wtf...

[kevinmatthewjones]

@XmetalXpowerX - Math rock is a rhythmically complex, guitar-based style of experimental rock[1] that emerged in the 1980s. It is characterized by complex, atypical rhythmic structures (including irregular stopping and starting), angular melodies, and dissonant chords.[2] - Wikipedia - it's the best thing that's never happened to you...

[XmetalXpowerX]

@kevinmatthewjones sounds like shit to me

[kevinmatthewjones]

@XmetalXpowerX (gentle pat on the head) Ah, silly man, silly, silly man.

[XmetalXpowerX]

@kevinmatthewjones i'm silly because i don't like math rock?.....okay....

[DerangedRover86]

@kevinmatthewjones Sounds pretty crap to me.

[madinnerup]

My sister thinks Adam is hot. Does he plan to visit India?

[iliummetal]

Well as this is Jason tell your sister my heart is broken! I'll let Adam know!

[Stratonini]

This is how HEAVY METAL should be done. The vocals are great, the Guitars kick ass, the bass and drums are holdin' in all down, and the keys are catchy as all hell. Nicely done!!

[iliummetal]

@Stratonini

Thanks! If you'd like to help us out by adding our songs to your page please feel free! really appreciate it!

[SatansBestie]

[iliummetal]

@SatansBestie

[MrHeavyMetalx]

Jason, im wearing the same shit you are in this video! lol

[TheFalloutTV]

I love the guitar harmonies at the end.

[iliummetal]

Thank you!

[TheFalloutTV]

LT looks so tiny behind that HUGE bass guitar... :P

[iliummetal]

@TheFalloutTV

Yes, the bass was a prop added for comic value!

[steveharrismetalgod]

gratness!

[iliummetal]

thanks! And Steve Harris is indeed a metal god!

[food223]

very good song not my style i rather heavier music but this song is amazing

[vikyngman]

Agree with Yiannis there, thought the new album was really good. Great development for Ilium.

Horns up from Sweden!

[iliummetal]

Thanks! We're getting prepared for album number  'Genetic Memory' - we're really excited about that one!

[iliummetal]

Thank you! We really appreciate that! Feel free to spread the word!

[Yiannis2112]

Goood! However I think the new LP Ageless Decay is not only 1(at least) step up 4 these guys but one of the best 2009 releases of classic metal.Its not only down to Di Meo's superb vocal delivery but the compositions are more substancial, more to the point...Well done guys, Im buying it without 2nd thought

[davorx666]

Great Voice, Great Music

[Glasstomten]

Damn, this is great!

[PerculaPlushPet]

Thanks! Our new album Ageless Decay is out today! Mike DiMeo from Riot and Masterplan is our new singer and he is incredible!

[QuantumJackal]

win

[pimphatandcoat]

this is really something different good job

[ManofWar55]

This is awesome!!! So melodic and great. Keep it up guys!

[iliummetal]

Thanks! very much appreciated!

[rabensblut]

Great band. Australian heavy metal rules (Ilium, Black Steel, Black Majesty)

[iliummetal]

Thanks!

Jason

[kingforaday72]

Jason and Ilium

[SatyriconDivina]

No problem. I know how long it takes to have your own band. Just alone doing your own artwork marketing and recording takes months at a time, in fact I haven't even been able to finish mine since it's such a fickle process..

But the artwork you do looks fantastic, I hope you guys get big enough to go to Wacken.

[SatyriconDivina]

I've been listening to this song for a year whenever I get the chance.

Very unique metal here!

[iliummetal]

Thanks!

Much appreciated!

Jason/Ilium

[eloiseryan999]

My favourite band. Brilliant music and such talented musicians. Thanks for the music.

[kn3gg]

Fucking great music and fantastic, charming artwork!! (Waybackmachine rules for getting those pics)

Get that new album out, i got the money ready \o/ (and don't overdo with the keyboards in the future)

[iliummetal]

Well, it's in getting pressed as we speak!

If I can we'll be starting the next one soon for a 2008 release!

Jason/Ilium

[kn3gg]

That´s good news!

Well, i´ve got more wishes then.

Ilium Germany Tour

Ilium Shirts

Ilium Tabs (Antigone!)

Satan Claus is near \m/

[iliummetal]

We have Ilium shirts and will be getting more done up with the new album cover. We will hopefully have a new singer next month - I really want to come to Germany, so we'll see - I'm hoping to organise a festival for the Enviro-Metal project, so who knows!

Ilium tab for Antigone - that's alot of work! Someone with a bit more time might be able to tackle that - took long enough for us to write it!

Jason

[kn3gg]

Nice, i´ll be watching the mailorders for those shirts. Or just write Götz a Mail and play the Rock Hard Festival so we can see you and get the merch there hehe.

Could you do the first 2 minutes of Antigone then, until the singer starts? Where do you have those riffs anyway? All in your fingers?

[iliummetal]

Yep, in the fingers. Did you want the melody?

Rock Hard are great - they did us a huge review of Permian Dusk. Hope they like Vespertilion too. Releasing albums is very stressful!

[kn3gg]

Yes. I think it's Melody 1, Riff 1, Melody 2 and Riff 2.

But it's totally worth it. You create real, unique Metal and ppl are banging there heads to it the world over!

[iliummetal]

Thanks! So do people over there actually know who we are! Remind me again in the new year - things are really hectic at the moment, but I can try and do something for you. From memory Antigone may be written in Phrygian or some sort of eastern theme anyway. That's a bit of a signature of ours. But certainy - once I get a spare moment I'll see what I can do!

Jason

[kn3gg]

That would rock! Take care of the important things first though. And no presents for christmas.

[iliummetal]

Is that a King Diamond reference!

Thanks and a great Christmas to you too!

All the best

Jason

[kn3gg]

Yes indeed. I wanted to post the link here but that didn´t work - anyway you are 100% Metal so you know who the King is, hehe.

Thx and have a great summer Christmas down under!

Aaron

[iliummetal]

Will do Aaron!

[kn3gg]

ehh can't edit that.

Yes. I think it's Melody 1, Riff 1, Melody 2 and Riff 2.

But it's totally worth it. You create real, unique Metal and ppl bang their heads to it the world over!

[necronzero]

Great song guys, Greetings from Mexico, hope to see u here!

[iliummetal]

Thanks! We really appreciate that!

All the best

Jason and Ilium

[necronzero]
