"A powerfully modern twist on classic heavy metal" -The Metalverse
"Throughout the years, Illumina A.D. have consistently aimed to mix a heavy sound with haunting lyrics and themes. This album delivers on that promise while pushing the band into bold new territory." -Obsidian Thoughts
Beauty and brutality poured into a singular vision on “Days of Blood & Fire,” with Illumina A.D. traversing metal’s storied history. Lyrics convey the poetry of trying to overcome the constant struggle and press back against it. Nepthisis, their lead vocalist, proves adept at matching the fury of the rest of the group, giving it this sense of unending enormity. Their fondness for the classics appears throughout the entirety of the album, both in the expansive track lengths and the underlying rhythms that tighten and loosen up with ease.
