illyria

Australian metal band Illyria’s fourth full-length record “Wanderlust” arrives to the world on the 7th June 2024. The album lives up to its name containing eight intertwining tracks that journey across vast spectrums of extreme metal genres. The haunting feelings of exile and isolation are all too familiar for the Perth-based act and there is no better way to face it, than to embrace it. Wanderlust is a test of willpower for the exiled, the unspoken and the fearful silent to maintain their belief for a time that will come when the elements shall prevail and inherit the Earth once and for all.

At just shy of 45 minutes in length, the piercing shrieks and thunderous growls are contrasted by soaring melodic harmonies that the band have stylised throughout the past decade. Wanderlust is a reality check for all listeners to brace for the next cycle that humanity will encounter. Will you succumb to the slow, decaying death of the modern world, or fight to survive and celebrate the rebirth of a new age? The choice is yours.

Illyria's goal is to captivate on the gracious melodies and pulsating rhythms of the metal genre whilst promoting the accessibility of the genre to new listeners around the world. Over the past decade, the five-piece act have earnt several opportunities supporting international bands such as Cattle Decapitation, Alcest and The Ocean Collective along with national acts such as Ne Obliviscaris, Polaris and Make Them Suffer.
