Friends!
Whilst we keep you waiting for the next album, we felt it was time to offer you something a little special to keep your musical taste buds satisfied. We recently joined forces with Headroom Records to remaster our debut album, The Wrath of the Lambs with a worldwide digital release on the 29th March 2010. The record will be available via all major download services (i-Tunes, Amazon, 7 Digital, any many more).
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.
