Illuminandi - Demo 2

I have to be honest, this is the first christiam metal band I've heard from Poland. And beside Vader I haven't heard much at all from this country. But Illuminandi wants to change that. Playing metal with various influences from death, grind and goth metal.

They've been around a couple of years and this is their second demo, simply called demo2 The pretty unique thing with Illuminandi is the use of string arrangements they use, at times I feel that they are overused but they provide another dimension to the music, I just feel that the songs at the moment aren't complex enough for them. But I am sure this will change in the future.

They also use many different songs styles, from brutal "slayer" vocals to clean female ones. I personally believe that their music most fits to the brutal ones, as shown on the last track, ...wi.c My... but I also enjoy the only English track The light.

With a production which is pretty decent I believe that this band has potential of being huge in the future, they just need time to develop their music-writing skills.
