Illyria Discography
"Predicting Illyria’s next move has never been easy—each release reshapes expectations set by its predecessor. So, even though a lot of the Wanderlust influences are here, The Walk of Atonement is a neat little aside in their work that could be only that—or it could be a show of strength for lengthier, proggier things to come. I’ll be listening either way." - The Progressive Subway, 7.5/10
“Wanderlust is a testament to the indomitable spirit of those who dare to dream amidst the ruins.” - Rock Charts
"I predict that Illyria will soon join the ranks of iconic names. So, grab your headphones, immerse yourself in the music, and experience the magic." - Rock Era Magazine
"One of the most striking aspects of 'Wanderlust' is its emotional depth. It's not just an album of aggressive riffs and blast beats; it's a deeply personal exploration of themes like isolation, despair, and the struggle for hope in a world gone mad." - Broken 8 Records
"With a mix of progressive metal and metalcore, the group exposes all its technique with extravagance and, at the same time, subtlety." - Roadie
Take Me Somewhere Beautiful (2022)
“A very different sound from these guys with less of the post-metal influences that made 2019's The Carpathian Summit such a great album. This time they focus more on the hardcore/screamo side, but still very enjoyable… - 4.0/5.0” - Sputnik
"Illyria have created nothing short of a masterpiece with just their second album. 9/10." - Hysteria Magazine
“These Perth boys are beyond talented, and this record definitely validates that. 9.5/10." - New Fury Media
"Illyria have let their song-writing and instrumentation do the talking for why they should be at the forefront of this sub-genre’s evolution and progression." - Heavy Blog is Heavy
"Despite the band’s youth, their talent ripples everywhere here, showing that they’re musically informed and well-learned, but bold as well. 89/100" - Kill Your Stereo
"Everything here is beautiful: tremolo, blast beats, slow pieces - music feels the pulse of life" - Alternative Silence
"Illyria are fantastically versatile, combining aggressive black metal with soft, melodious prog in a manner unique to their style" - Amnplify
"There’s no feeling of hype or trend to the sound of the group, it’s a mesmerising completeness that their sound attains..." - Guido Segers
"Illyria interweaves huge choruses, clean vocals, harsh screams, and even latin-inspired acoustic interludes, and more, into a grand motley crew of styles and sounds. - 85/100" - Kill Your Stereo
