Spawned forth from chasmic depths and armed with sonic weaponry, Canada’s ILLYRIAN brings the pain with crushing rhythms, ravaging lead work, and a shield wall of devastating vocals. Forged in the smoldering embers of a thrash and death metal crucible, the group have honed their blades into a singular weapon of ruinous destruction which it wields to carve a path of its own through the modern metal battlefield. Fans can expect an energizing and invigorating performance that masterfully walks the line between virtuoso caliber musicianship and blood-pumpin’, mosh-pittin’ riffage you can’t help but bang your head to.
