Illidiance is an industrial metal band from Taganrog, Russia.

History

[edit]

The band was founded in 2005 as the successor of the progressive black metal band S.C.A.R.D. They picked up where S.C.A.R.D. left off stylistically with their first EP Withering Razors[1] and debut album Insane Mytheries to Demise. With their next album Nexaeon in 2008, they started hinting at a more melodic cyber metal direction, fully establishing this different sound in their 2009 EP Synthetic Breed. All four songs from the EP were re-recorded as part of their 2010 album Damage Theory.[2][3]

Recording for Damage Theory commenced in December 2009,[4] with drums recorded in February 2010.[5] The album features a guitar solo by Mick Priestley (The Green River Project), as well as guest vocal contributions by Tony JJ (ex-Mnemic / IconInMe) Scott Kennedy (Bleed from Within), Kenji Siratori, and Vasiliy "Ghost" (Akado). Hate vocalist Adam Buszko was also invited to do guest vocals but unable to contribute due to time constraints.[6] The band toured in support of the album in Russia and Ukraine in February 2011.[7] "Fading Away" was released as a single on February 1, 2011.[8] A new single, "Neuron Electrics Inc." was released on September 26, 2011.[9] That track and "Neon Rebels" were included as bonus tracks in a reissue for Damage Theory, released via Right Recordings in 2012.[10]

They have toured with bands like Behemoth, Deathstars, Grave Digger, Rotting Christ, Grave, and Sonic Syndicate. They were signed to The Flaming Arts Agency (Behemoth, Hate, Septicflesh, Sybreed).[2]

They have been influenced by many bands including Fear Factory, Soilwork, Disturbed, Suicide Commando, The Prodigy, The Chemical Brothers, Infected Mushroom, Static-X, and Scar Symmetry.[2]
