THE BEAST

Set to release their third full length “Crimson Wreath” this coming May 2021 via Rockshots Records, Greece's prog power Illusory are sharing the record's first single "Besetting Sins".

"This is the opening track of the album and also our first single off the “Crimson Wreath” album. A very heavy song with fast guitar gallops, an Eastern flavor, a melodic chorus, and a progressive twin guitar melody in the middle of the song. It speaks about religion and especially about Seven Deadly Sins." adds the band.

"Besetting Sins" can be heard at the following links:
Lyric Video - 

Melodic, riffy, cerebral, and complex "Crimson Wreath" is  a very emotional and melodic release, yet heavy and strong at the same time. Both new fans and  ones who have been listening to the band for years will indulge themselves  in this latest offering of classic, p rogressive, epic, and thrashy performances.  Lyrical themes found on  “Crimson Wreath” are mostly anti-war, but the full length also includes a thematic unit consisting of three songs that deal with human loss.

For fans of  Iron Maiden, Queensryche, Savatage, Jag Panzer, Illusory's "Crimson Wreath" is available for pre-order at the following link:  http://bit.ly/ CrimsonWreathCD
