DISILLUSION 2008 is:
Vurtox AKA Andy Schmidt - vocals, guitars
Rajk Barthel - guitars,
Jens Maluschka - drums
Matthias Becker - bass guitar

A fundamental question came up for DISILLUSION only a few months after the release of BACK TO TIMES OF SPLENDOR: What does this band want? Where does it want to go?
At the end of day, all participants knew that the final chords on BTTOS set the seal on the inevitable: All has been said; it has been done. You could improve the sound, write even better riffs, you could sing even more pompously of pain and suffering and pathos; but nothing substantial could be added to the record. Something had come to an end after almost three years; it was finished and released quite successfully under the flag of Metalblade Records in April 2004 - in wide screen and cinemascope. Including the two mini cds from 2001 and 2002, BTTOS marks the peak of a period one could label naive, highly energetic, filigree, a melting pot of styles, or all together; but of course neither will describe the charm of the record.
BTTOS is a powerful trip, an audio film, a maelstrom, whose dramaturgy you cannot elude until the end, where you come to the astonishing conclusion you have to hit Play again - or to turn it off. BTTOS is final and does not require continuation.
It is where many musicians go in circles, that DISILLUSION take the risk and dare a monstrous step in their past. In the late 2004 ideas and decisions form the not-at-all random picture, that today answers to the name GLORIA: square, uneven, maladjusted, without foam, but surely bearing the justified imprint of its release: 2006.

    Okay, now even I am starting to think that this is Time 2.0. Soon to never be released.

    It's such a shame that Disillusion's success with BtToS has become such a detriment to them. People giving the band shit before they've even shared any information about the new material... it's just sad. Gloria was amazing and unique. A very brave but very creative step. The one thing Disillusion proved with that album is that they won't make albums for the sake of it, just replicating ideas for the fans. I'm tired of hearing about how amazing BtToS was from chump metal-heads. It is one of the best albums ever, great, so start CHERISHING the musicans who made it.

    All things they released so far were great, they really need to make some new music soon.

    Nice atmospheric prog...great violins. "Back To Times of Splendor " is a masterpiece for the genre.
