“Older” people, like me, used to know the band as Ivory Tower, however, for some reason, they had to change their band-name. I do like their new one and I think it does suit them. They are the same people, the same band, they haven’t changed anything. They’ve got the same energy, the same beautiful Old School Metal, which can never mess with your mood. OK, “The Ivory Tower” is the title of their debut album, which was released in 2013 and the band is on their way to their sophomore. One can hear their Maiden influences in their rhythms and guitar themes. Voice is “walking” the paths leading to Dickinson and Dio, a lil’ bit more towards Dickinson. I think it was the best way to end the festival, so the young can learn and the old can reminisce.”

“To bring the festival to an end, ILLUSORY, loyal to traditional Metal roots, came to remind that no matter how much we experiment with what we listen to and how much we indulge to various avant-garde styles, we all (80’s/90’s at least) made our first steps along the same base, regarding Heavy scene back then. The fact that they made a limited crowd to follow them in their own songs is indicative, concerning the energy the band is showing on stage. Off to their next album, they presented their new songs as well as songs off their debut album, The Ivory Tower. Due to the fact that they were the last to appear on stage (headliners) and without any time restrictions, they also played a few covers of classic and loved songs, concluding this year’s After The Wave a few minutes after midnight.”

After The Wave Festival… After The Wave Reviews!
Some say it’s a cliche to write “It was a night to remember”, yet we feel it was such. ATWF has taken a very special place in our hearts and we would like to thank a bunch of peeps for that. Our most sincere thanks go to the amazing bands we shared the stage with. Wings in Motion, Symforia, Simplefast, System Decay and Rust ‘n’ Mud. Huge thanx to An Club and Mariza Koroniotaki as well as the sponsors, Open Mind Tattoo and Matrix Recording Studio.
By the way, the first live reviews came knocking on our door and… well… Here you go! To those who supported and mentioned, to the fans and spectators… Shine On! See you soon in a brand new live!

“ILLUSORY or Headliners are on, if you will. ILLUSORY is a Heavy Metal band hailing from Athens, Greece. They had opened for Blue Oyster Cult in 2008 and released their very nice album “The Ivory Tower” in 2013. Having great self-confidence and their debut as their ally, they performed exquisitely. Besides, they are amazing musicians, one by one, with the exception of the bass guitarist. This guy is even more than “simply amazing”. Fearsome playing, bass lines that kick ass and a bass solo which could leave the guitars behind! Sometimes heavy and other times melodic. In a naive parallelism in my head, bass and drums are actually the team (bands) defense, keyboards are the midfield, the lead singer is the striker and the guitars are the wingmen. Well, with a defense like that, ILLUSORY won’t even lose a single game. They played two brand songs off their upcoming album, a “Crusader” cover (originally by Saxon) and they saved the best for last. Another cover, this time on “The Evil That Men Do”, originally by… You-know-who! The sickos as Mr. Dee Theodorou characterized the whole band (and yours truly I might add), were doing as they please and the mic (as well as Dee) came off stage many times. Brilliant “Pale Moonlight” followed, in which the band did a lil’ break to present themselves to us, the likes of “Sanctuary” break… Like You-know-who was doing in Iron Maiden! Wrap up with the best, according to the entire band, track of the album, “Ivory Tower” and Metallica‘s “Creeping Death”. What more could one possibly want?”
