Illusions Play - Empire of Desolation
Released: 2024
FONO LTD
Illusions Play are a Turkish band that got their start in 2011 and have spent the last ten years refining their current creation. Inspired by the desolate nature of human misery, Illusions Play add a grim soundtrack to our woeful existence. On their 2nd full length album they seize misery in a melodic display of modern doom-death metal. The music uses its slow tempo to its advantage by pursuing a dense delivery that still gives its various aspects room to develop into important attributes. The layered guitars that are a must in this genre are complimented by a diversified vocal delivery and atmospheric keyboards. Each growl is well placed among sorrowful sung lines that intertwine confidently to create their desired mood. Every song is an assertive feature of the whole, slowly bleeding the entire album in a willful sacrifice to our tormented reality. Transcending decades, "Empire of Desolations" incorporates aspects assigned to the old greats of the genre while retaining a modern sound. Illusions Play have created a forceful embodiment of sorrow that leaves the listener grasping in existential dread. This is an excellent album within the doom-death metal genre. Check it out!
