During editing, the idea just popped up. “One day we must revisit this material and make a performance video out of it”. The Ivories kept the thought. The “Ashes To Dust” video became a cinematic extravaganza, reaching nearly eighty thousand views.
Almost two and a half years later, ILLUSORY reopen the box and create this all-performance “bleu” video, as a goodbye and thank you to their most recent album, “Crimson Wreath”, whilst enjoying studio sessions for their next discographic attacks.
ILLUSORY – “The Ivory Tower” – 10 Years Anniversary LiVE
ILLUSORY’s debut album was released in May 2013 and being performed live in its entirety is one of Ivories’ most fulfilling and beloved projects. It’s a concept record, it’s a story, which many people find it moving and unique and there is no better way to celebrate these ten years of existence of “The Ivory Tower”, than play the whole album itself… and not only that. Furthermore, the band is celebrating in its birthplace, the city of Moschato, Greece.
Following the recordings of their new album, ILLUSORY once again visited their own studio, iCave, to prepare for this special occasion. Not only will they play their first album songs, but they also have their mind set for quite a few more surprise. Additionally, in collaboration with Metal Throne Record Store, this album is finally rereleased, featuring all original artwork and two bonus tracks.
Disillusive Play will also appear, as ILLUSORY’s special guests that night. This exceptional band from Athens has released their sophomore album last June, entitled “Songs For The Non-Existent”, via Wormholedeath Records, and played numerous live shows in Greece and abroad (Balkan Metal Meeting in Sofia, Bulgaria, Metal Solidarity II in Greece, just to name a few).
Saturday, January 13, 2024 Level 69 Live Studio 69, Solomou Str., Moschato, Greece, tel. +30-210-4826969
The band will be playing at the Piraeus Club Academy this April. Having released their third album, “Crimson Wreath”, in mid 2021, which received the title “Album of the year” by three magazines throughout the world (KNACK Magazine – USA, Metal Pedia – Mexico, and Classic Rock Bottom – USA), the Ivories will hit the stage with a complete set, featuring songs off their latest release as well as their previous works. This is actually going to be the “Crimson Wreath” live release.
Alongside ILLUSORY, two magnificent Greek bands, sharing the stage. The Silent Wedding, the amazing lyrical progressive Metal band, whose latest album, “Ego Path” is considered as one of the most interesting releases last year. The bouquet is completed via opening act Fortis Ventus, a true sensation in female fronted symphonic Metal and a setlist filled with songs off their debut album “Vertalia”, also released last year.

The two bands continue their joint appearances, this time in the city of Agrinio and the beloved Metal Union! They will be performing live material from all three of their albums, focusing on their latest releases, CRIMSON WREATH and EGO PATH, respectively.
ILLUSORY live @ Skyland – Larissa along with The Silent Wedding and Human Genom
The two bands will play for the first time in the city of Larissa and will present live material from all three of their albums, focusing on their latest releases, EGO PATH and CRIMSON WREATH, respectively.
