Illuminatus Is Our Metal Monsters Sonic Bids Indie Spotlight Winner previous... Illuminatus' debut album, 'The Wrath Of The Lambs', was released on Monday, 26 May 2008, via Ant Hill Records (Panic Cell / Adema / Screamin' Lords / Speed Theory). The album has gained the attention of the UK music press, with great reviews in Kerrang!, Metal Hammer and countless online webzines. Tracks from the album have also gained airplay on Bruce Dickinson's BBC6 Rock Show, and the band has been playlisted on TotalRock Radio, gaining regular airplay on rotation. The band’s touring history includes the UK leg of Ministry's final world tour (C-U-LaTour) in May/June 2008 and My Ruin’s UK and Ireland tour (Religiosi Tour) in October 2008. In the summer of 2007 illuminatus stormed to the finals of Famecast, an international talent showcase featuring hundreds of bands from around the world.  The band were flown out to Austin, Texas where they performed a high-energy set to a television audience which was broadcast live to millions of people, earning the band unprecedented exposure in the United States and beyond. Following their collaborations on previous EPs with producers Harvey Birrell (Therapy?, Ministry) and Pete 'Pee-Wee' Coleman (AC/DC, Paradise Lost), the music of illuminatus has already drawn comparisons to bands such as Anathema, Paradise Lost, Deftones and Cult of Luna, earning the band significant acclaim and respect from all sections of the national and international music press, whilst gaining particularly glowing reviews from Germany, France and Scandinavia for their unique brand of melodic and powerful music. With The Wrath Of The Lambs now on nationwide release through Anthill Records, illuminatus continue to roll out their War Machine throughout 2009, having just been confirmed as main support for the 10-day UK tour with Breed 77 and Susperia in May. In addition, the band is also in the process of writing new material for their follow-up album, aimed for release later this year.
