Emerging from the ancient echoes of Istanbul, atmospheric doom/death metal band Illusions Play announces the release of their latest single, Morning Dew. The single came out on July 12th, 2024. This new release showcases the band’s dynamic blend of glacial riffs, impactful dark rhythms, deep growls/screams, and the enchanting allure of clean vocals.
Illusions Play, an atmospheric doom/death metal band, took its first breath in 2011 as a project of Ukrainian musician Vitaliy Petrenko (Can Aydin). Now located in Istanbul, Türkiye, the band forges its identity in the fires of self-made fury. Indeed, breaking free from the molds of atmospheric death doom metal. Their music is a sonic descent into the abyss, where beauty intertwines with despair like moonlight on tombstones.
Melodies speak of the solitude that birthed their sound, a darkness that birthed light… Moreover, a silence that roars with a voice unlike any other. Crafting sonic landscapes of dystopian grandeur, Illusions Play transforms desolation into breathtaking, soul-stirring beauty, providing a compelling soundtrack to a world in flux.
