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.

    Shouso, obviously, confused Disillusion with, well, I don't know what. But, he's definitely confused. On the album matter, when I talked to Eric in Janouary 2010, on their show in Thessaloniki, he said that they would enter studio at the time. Probably, they have had some serious setbacks, but since in less than a year the world will turn to ruins, I suggest they hurry for world's sake.

    If you're referring to Disillusion, you are wrong.

    they have their duties as everybody else, but for sure the wait for a new opus got far too long. but I have a feeling that 2012 will be the year of new musical excellence... "If it matches or even comes close to the excellence of Splendor or Gloria it will be well worth the wait" -> true, true....

    Andy seems to be busy as hell at his studio recording musicians and shit so maybe that is causing the hold up on the new record? I unno, pure speculation on my part. All I know is I can't wait for a new record to drop.

    Atleast they don't make up some stupid excuses like this Wintersun-Guy. "We forgot to book the studio", "PC couldn't handle the epic soundscapes" ... I just hope my yet-to-be-born children will get the chance to listen to their new album, somewhen in 2076.

  • Frozen_Corpse

    They can take as long as they want to write a new album as far as I'm concerned. If it matches or even comes close to the excellence of Splendor or Gloria it will be well worth the wait.

    lol at wintersun joke

    October 2011

  • WinterWanderer

    Wow, these guys are almost as bad as Wintersun on getting a new album done.

  • FuTnu

    imo "Progressive System of a Down" is a pretty good describtion for them. or what about "AC DC without trumpets"??

  • OmenEstNomen

    Haha, rescheduling the new album has kind of become an inside joke. New album will be released, probably, 2021.

  • mellowkirby

    "Is GLORIA the end? Was BTTOS the end?! Answer: DISILLUSION are writing again. Now. 2007." And now? Still writing?
