New manager!

30 May 2010

We have finally decided to start working with a manger. Until recently we didn’t see the point in that but since the band has been progressing slowly, things have eventually reached the point where I (Jan) and Wojciech (the band’s promoter) are not able to handle them anymore due to our other obligations. Our manager is Mariusz Bachurski, a good friend of ours. If you want to contact us about interviews, shows, merchandise or CD’s, please email call him on +48 504 681 911 or email him at illuminandi.management@gmail.com Neither I nor Wojciech will be henceforth responsible for any of these things. Wojciech will be able to focus on his day job and family and I will be able to spend my free time making music or practising the guitar rather than answering emails. Use our old email address illuminandi@tlen.pl only if you have a specific question to the bandmembers. Also, we’d like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to Wojciech for his long-term support, the faith he’s always had in us, his hard work and dedication! Respect!

A few words from Wojtek: Thanks a lot for such kind words – I’m really grateful not only for the friendship with the guys but I would also like to give my blessings to all people who exchanged tons of e-mails with me. I hope that the music that I was able to send you brought you many amazing moments :) It was simply fantastic to meet you during the shows and get to know your opinion. All the support that you have been giving to ILLUMINANDI is simply awesome. YOU’RE GREAT! I’ll try to keep in touch with you – my e-mail: piglet@gazeta.pl is still valid ;) – but please direct all your promotional and (especially) merchandise questions to Mariusz from now…

New song on myspace!

We’ve just uploaded the first full track of our new In Via album. It’s titled “the Promise” and it’s the opening track for the album (well, right after the intro). This song is one of the 4 tracks with English lyrics on In Via. Let us know if you like it!

Since the album’s official release date is 28th May, we are going to upload another full track on that day for you to enjoy. So stay tuned! Also, our MySpace profile layout will be changed to match the new album’s artwork…

Take care and God bless!

New song clip/another guest appearance announced!

17 April 2010

We have just uploaded a new song sample – check it out on our Myspace profile. The song has been more-or-less mixed, but this is not final version. The clip gives you a chance to listen to Pawel’s powerful growls backed with our special guest’s screams… In case you don’t recognise this guy: the screamer is no-one else but our former vocalist Rajmund “Melon” Jeleń! Rajmund has recorded his vocals on four tracks. Thanks, Rajmund!
