February 12th, 2010Dear friends
We are happy to announce our first show for 2010, which will take place at THE MAZE in NOTTINGHAM on SATURDAY, 27 MARCH.
The show is promoted by our good friends at Riot Promotions and will feature three more killer bands from Nottingham: Sworn To Oath, The More I See and Mask of Infamy.
We will be using this show to road test a lot of new material written for our next album.
So tell your friends, sign up to the FACEBOOK EVENT, do whatever… just make sure you come on down and rock out with us.

P.S.
Really sorry about the excessive use of strobe lighting. The tech must have had some kind of fit, and wanted his audience to be part of the fun.
Invasion… Successful.
February 3rd, 2010Now that we’re back home, safe, sound and rested, we just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to everyone in Denmark. Our hosts were excellent, the festival was great, and the Beer (Thor) and Fisk was very tasty. A little too tasty….
We’d like to extend our thanks to Morten, Maja, Jesper, Peter, Martin, Anja, Clone Circle, Project 911, Prevail, Cafe Von Hatten & the crew at the festival. You all took such good care of us that it wouldn’t have been the same without you all. Our apologies to anyone’s name that isn’t on this list, but you’ll know if it should be.
Peter Nielsen, a local award winning photographer took some great shots of us and the other bands at the festival. You can see all those on Peter’s Website.
You can see all of the photos from our time there on our MySpace page. We’ll soon be adding them to our Facebook page too.
We leave you with one final thought from the weekend after several meetings with the Danish Gods.
Blue Thor… the God of Hangovers.

The Rising Tide Kerrang! review
November 30th, 2009
The Rising Tide review in Kerrang!
A decent review,- and a spot of half-baked fortune telling thrown in for good measure – from everyone’s favourite weekly music / trendy fringe magazine.
“If such a thing is even possible, illuminatus just made their already shadowy, brooding sound even darker. Their progressive socially conscious menace gets another airing on this follow-up to 2008’s impressive debut, ‘The Wrath of the Lambs’. It may be an EP between albums -and in fact one of the tracks here is an acoustic version of an old song- but there’s still enough here to intrigue and perplex in equal measure. All of the new tracks are ambitious in scope; heavy on guitars and full of cynical vocal gnashings and angry political polemic. Clearly (here it is – Ed), illuminatus are always going to be a band that will never progress further into the mainstream than its fringes. But their poetic and melancholic oddity proudly rejoices in being different.

City of Fire tour postponed
November 30th, 2009Due to reasons totally beyond our control the UK tour with City of Fire planned for January 2010 has been postponed to October 2010. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
We understand tickets are still valid for the rescheduled dates.
December 12th @ Scream Studios Cancelled
November 27th, 2009We’re sorry to announce that we’ve had to pull out of the bill for the show in Croydon on the 12th December. As is always the case with these situations – we had no alternative.
We hate to let our fans down and our apologies go out to any of you that were planning on attending the show. A replacement will be found for us, and you can still watch the mighty Panic Cell rocking out on the day.
Fortunately we will be back in London at the Camden Underworld on 15th January 2010 with City of Fire. For those of you that don’t already know, City of Fire is Burton C Bell’s (Fear Factory) and Byron Stroud’s (Fear Factory & Strapping Young Lad) new band. You can check out City of Fire on Myspace.
