Rockshots Records: Greek Prog Power Illusory Shares Title Track Off Upcoming Album "Crimson Wreath"

New Album "Crimson Wreath" Out May 21, 2021




Set to release their third full-length "Crimson Wreath" on May 21, 2021 via Rockshots Records, Greece's prog power Illusory are sharing the record's next single and title track.

"The eponymous title of the album is a very complex song. It starts with some clean guitars and a beautiful piano theme and by the end of it, everything changes! There is a strong bridge in the middle, with some really big-sounding guitars and a tribal drumming part, which leads into a twin-guitar melody followed by keyboards and a great vocal bridge! "Crimson Wreath" is about a land invasion nowadays and it describes the emotions of the people who woke up under attack." adds the band.

"Crimson Wreath" can be heard at the following links:
Having opened for such legendary acts Blue Oyster Cult, Warrel Dane, Geoff Tate, and Gus G, Illusory's new album "Crimson Wreath" is the next step in their widely praised evolution to follow 2016's Polysllabic (7hard/7us) and 2013's "The Ivory Tower" (The Leaders Records).

Melodic, riffy, cerebral, and complex "Crimson Wreath" is a very emotional and melodic release, yet heavy and strong at the same time. Both new fans and ones who have been listening to the band for years will indulge themselves in this latest offering of classic, progressive, epic, and thrashy performances. Lyrical themes found on "Crimson Wreath" are mostly anti-war, but the full length also includes a thematic unit consisting of three songs that deal with human loss.

The band comments:

"Crimson Wreath" has a very warm and solid sound and we feel very proud of the production we have done for it. It is an album that we recorded during one of the toughest times of our lives. We self-produced it with Yiannis and Dee doing an exceptional job mixing and mastering the tracks. It just sounds humongous! We feel we truly captured what we wanted to achieve in C.W."

INFECTED CHAOS Album Dead Aesthetics

The Austrian-South German Metal commando INFECTED CHAOS holds a giant mirror right in front of the rotten, perverted part of humanity. Yes, the truth, it is painful. Creatively, these hard steel enthusiasts are just as ruthless, and that hits like a forge hammer on an anvil! The delightfully rough riffed and at the same time really colossally rhythmic DEATH METAL of the perfectly coordinated shock troop shows itself on the new and third long-player " Dead Aesthetics " from the most varied and most coherent side.
