BANDBIO
ILLIDIANCE - Russia's
best-known Cyber Metal act that rocks out catchy, original, and technical alternative metal of the millennium - was formed back in 2005. The
raw power and the atmosphere of ILLIDIANCE's music is easily comparable
to the likes of The Kovenant, Fear Factory, and Sybreed. As of today the
band has released two full-length albums, namely "Insane Mytheries To Demise"
(2006) and "Nexaeon" (2008), which together sold over 5000 copies.
The act also took part in the Brutal Assault festival compilation in 2006
that sold another 6000 copies worldwide.
Throughout the years of its successful stage career ILLIDIANCE wheeled all over European
Russia with solo tours, as well as played at concerts and festivals in other
CIS and Eastern European countries. ILLIDIANCE has had the privilege of
sharing the stage with such well-known international bands as Rotting Christ,
Grave Digger, Thy Disease, Shenight, Deathstars, and went on tours with Hate,
Grave, Behemoth, and Crionics. In addition to that ILLIDIANCE have
already played twice at one of Europe's best known festivals: Brutal Assault v11 (2006) and Brutal Assault v13 (2008).
The press has also
totally embraced the music and the status of the act. For instance,
according to the 1Rock
magazine: «ILLIDIANCE is today one of the most
promising modern/cyber metal acts on the Russian stage», their first release "Insane
Mytheries..." was reviewed at 9/10 by the Dark City magazine and 5/5 by
М-Magazine, while "Nexaeon" received 9 points out of 10 in Whiplashmag, and scored "Album of the Month" at Terroraiser.
In 2009 ILLIDIANCE became the 1st runner-up of the Nation-wide «Na Vzlyot» contest
competing against more
than 1000 rock-bands. In 2007 the band
won the Rock nomination at a contest held by Russia's Ministry of Culture in Southern Russia, while in January 2009 they finished as No.2 in a contest held by Metal Radio, with over 500 other Russian bands participating.
Right now
ILLIDIANCE is putting finishing touches to their third release and are getting
ready to enter the studio. The band is also planning on some special guest
appearances for their new record, with potential guests from Japan
and the UK, as well as members of Russia's leading alternative acts.
Once that is sorted out, the act is set to hit the road in support of their
new record in Russia and Europe.
