History

Illuminata (band) ILLUMINATA discography top albums reviews and MP3

The band was founded in 2006 by guitarist Lukas Knoebl and drummer Dave Slut (ex-Everlasting Dawn). They were joined by vocalist and flutist Katarzyna Nieniewska in March 2007. At the same year Christoph and Joanna joined. After some time the band released their first EP Lachrymal. It was followed by full-length album From the Chalice of Dreams, which came out in January 2008. Soon after the record was released, Joanna left the band due to personal reasons and was replaced by Austrian soprano singer Lisa Tomantschger.

In late June 2014, four years after the release of A World So Cold, the band started an Indiegogo campaign to raise funds for their new album. The campaign successfully ended on August 28, 2014. The new album called Where Stories Unfold was mixed and mastered by Jan Vacik at Dreamsound Studios in Munich and released on January 23, 2015. It features 60-piece Czech Film Orchestra, choirs and variety of guest musicians. According to the band, "the album is heavily influenced by recent ‘larger than life’ blockbusters movies and combines two of the most powerful genres, Heavy Metal and Film Music." An instrumental version of the album has been released as well.
