'Illumion' History:
New releaseAfter a recordingperiod of over three years, Illumion finally released their first full-lenght cd. After sending out many copies to even more recordlabels, the band signed up with Progress Records in Sweden. The choice for Progress Records was finally made, because the pre-master remarks this label had, were in the same line of thinking as the bands, so the connection was made and Hunting for Significance was shot into the world. Many reviews are now coming back and hits to the website show that interest arises in far-away countries as Brasil, Russia and even Japan. The band is very curious as to where this cd will lead them. Hopefully to many live performances and onto the next cd for which two-thirds of the material is already written. source: http://www.illumion.net

Special guest on Hunting for SignificanceA special guest on the album is Marjolijn Kaiser. She recorded a few pipa (4-stringed Chinese lute) parts in a song about the fall of a Chinese dynasty. Apart from the pipa, we also used the erhu, which is a 2-stringed Chinese violin, played by Eveline van Kampen. source: http://www.illumion.net

Review of our demo Into the LabyrinthILLUMION - Into The Labyrinth review for Metal Maidens no.39. NL Demo CD 2004 3 TRACKS: Silent Breeze � Into The Labyrinth � Breathing Room This three song promo CD contains sixteen minutes of nice prog rock music. The band consists of three ladies and two male members, and I hear some very good musical ideas in these three songs. The complex structures of the songs, show us that the band is not chosing to do things the easy way. Lengthy instrumental parts and the clear vocals of Esther Ladiges (ENTROPY) in opener �Silent Breeze� bring bands like FATES WARNING to mind, in a slightly lighter version. In �Into The Labyrinth�, Esther�s voice reminded me a bit of the vocal parts of Liselotte Hegt (ex-CIRRHA NIVA), which may also be a nice comparision for this band. There are touches of KATE BUSH and TORI AMOS in her voice as well, in this song. The jazzy part in the middle of the song, make the music also a bit lighter. The guitar solo of Eveline however, sounds just perfect. The CD closes with �Breathing Room�, which contains a long instrumental part plus impressive drum and guitar part. There is definitely potential in this band, and this promo is the first step on the ladder to a hopefully bigger success. We�d like to thank Willem of AFTER THE SILENCE for making us aware of the talents of these five musicians. source: http://www.metalmaidens.com
