About this user

With the release of 'Glasnost', their second full length studio album, illuminatus have established themselves as THE up-and-coming band of 2011. Recorded in Hannover, Germany, in June 2010 by producer Willi Dammeier (Apoptygma Berzerk, Fony, Symphony Cult) and released via Headroom Records in February 2011, the press reactions for the album were again extremely positive -- "A fusion of explosive but controlled heaviness, melody and nerve-jangling emotion" (Metalteam UK), "Such an organic, rounded and great album is rarely heard" (Legacy Magazine, Germany), "An absolute highlight, and not just for this year" (Big Five Magazine, Germany).

The band's unique brand of melodic and powerful music continues to find them airplay on many of the UK's and European rock radio shows -- Bruce Dickinson's Rock Show (BBC6, UK), A-listed on Total Rock Radio (UK), Aardschok Radio (Kink FM, Netherlands), Metal Zone Radio (Belgium), Symphonium Radio (Radio 5, Norway). And a club promo campaign run in March and April 2011 consistently returned a 90% approval rate from both DJ's and clubbers.

Building on the success of their touring experiences with Ministry (C-U-LaTour 2008), My Ruin (Religiosi Tour 2008), Breed77 & Susperia (Insects & Attitude Tour 2009) and Rise To Addiction (Co-Headline Tour 2009), and previous festival appearances at the Bloodstock Festival, the Fordham Music Fest, the Bulldog Bash and Denmark's Midwinter Meltdown Festival, illuminatus have just completed a further successful headline tour promoting Glasnost in the UK and Europe and are now preparing for their first time appearance at the Download Festival on Sunday, 12 June 2011, and a return to the European continent for later in the year.

PRESS

illuminatus have power and modern aggression in their music. But they also have sophistication, style and individuality. Does that make them sound intriguing? It bloody well should!
MALCOLM DOME, TOTAL ROCK RADIO

This is serious music for serious people. illuminatus have built these ominous and grand movements slowly, developing their art on the road over many years. The result is seething alt rock with a creative soul. Proudly underground, this novel Midlands collective have done their music justice here.
KERRANG! MAGAZINE (UK)

Every note is delivered with such conviction that you can't help but be caught up in the thrall.
METAL HAMMER MAGAZINE (UK)

Melodic, atmospheric, powerful, the foursome have been on the edge of something special for ages. Get excited now.
ROCKSOUND MAGAZINE (UK)

Playing a heavy as fuck sound punctuated with idealisms and intellectual observations.
ROCK3 MUSIC MAGAZINE (UK)

Harsh and delicate soundscape, but never for their own sake. Quiet moments continue to mix with hard-hitting and memorable riffs. A fusion of explosive but controlled heaviness, melody and nerve-jangling emotion.
METALTEAM UK

A a statement to the rock & metal fraternity that here is a band unafraid to work hard or write music with real, genuine substance.
BLACK VELVET MAGAZINE (UK)

Ein so organisches, rundes und großartiges Album ist selten zu hören; die Bitte einer Band, „Glasnost" nicht einfach zu kopieren, traf selten so zu, wie hier.
LEGACY MAGAZINE (Germany)

Ein Spanier, ein Deutscher, ein Engländer und ein Italiener zelebrieren ganz großes, melodisches Kino. Jeder Song ist ein kleiner Volltreffer.
MY REVELATIONS (Germany)

Some of the most beautiful, moving music I've heard since last witnessing Anathema live.
POWERPLAY MAGAZINE (UK)

Suchtfaktor 9 und jetzt schon ein absolutes Highlight, nicht nur für dieses Jahr!
