THE BEAST

Prog/Power band ILLUSORY, 4th single entitled “Ashes To Dust” off the album "Crimson Wreath", out now via Rockshots Records DIGITAL: https://backl.ink/144187583 CD: http://bit.ly/CrimsonWreathCD Pyrisous, Aeacides, Aemonius, Aspetos, Larissaeus, Ligyron, Nereius, Pelides, Phthius, Podarkes… Some of the names of the greatest warrior of all time. The myth amongst the living and the departed. Achilles, the main character of Iliad, the glorious king, the fearless leader, the ideal soldier… On the other hand, the allegory… He who wanders in grief, Homer’s epic poem in the hands of the righteous, catapulted in a dystopian reality, becoming a cultural heritage for the future. ILLUSORY presents “Ashes To Dust”, a heroic rhapsody, taken off their third album, “Crimson Wreath”. Illustrious actor/director Grigoris Valtinos is the leading man in a story which exemplifies the essence of a fable across a path walked by the bravest and honored by the scholars of the world. This short film is about an epic manifesto, a darkening day to come and everlasting hope.

Φράζεο νῦν, μή τοί τι θεῶν μήνιμα γένωμαι ἤματι τῷ ὅτε κέν σε Πάρις καὶ Φοῖβος Ἀπόλλων ἐσθλὸν ἐόντ᾽ ὀλέσωσιν ἐνὶ Σκαιῇσι πύλῃσιν. Twelve Gods of Greece, all by your side Now rest in peace, brother be my guide Your soul is mine, your mortal breath Now quench your thirst, water from Lethe So brave and sacred the Achaean’s nation We cry in choral, a wail for the dead Graves in fields, an eternal damnation Eye for an eye, their blood I shall spread I'll fight even fame, Achilles' my name Ashes to Dust!
