Illucinus

After over 13 years, the Bay Area’s Illucinus have returned! Formed in Redwood City, CA by Petr Oplatka (vocals/guitar) and Cameron Stucky (guitar) in 2007, the crushing death metal outfit started playing out with the likes of Brain Drill, Psychosomatic, and other local heavyweights before shifting focus to other projects (Sea in the Sky, Ominous Ruin, ENIGMA, Crepuscle). While Oplatka and Stucky continued to create music, sharpen their chops and tour with other groups, the two always talked about reviving Illucinus with new energy and learned insights. Fast forward to 2022: the group is reunited and ready to burn it down. Accompanied in the revival are the band’s original bassist Dan Saltzman (ENIGMA) and longtime friend Harley Blandford (Ominous Ruin, ENIGMA, Arcane Existence). The re-imagined, re-recorded version of The Machine is OUT NOW! Head over to illucinus.com to scope it out.

Illucinus is Brutal Technical Death Metal from the Bay Area in California.
