Illuminus is a rock band from Auckland. Their debut album Until the End was released in 2012 and received rave reviews.

Until The End is a professional debut from a band that should win fans with their unique sound. - Alistair Wickens - muzic.net.nz

Illuminus have injected some interesting touches that may well broaden this record’s appeal beyond a determined core. - Amanda Mills - NZ Musician Magazine.

Following a stint of shows in 2012, Aidan and drummer Turin Howell spent most of 2013 writing the songs that would become their follow up album. Drums were recorded at the Killing Room by Matt Keller, at which point new Holden Schade was recruited on bass and immediately recorded all basstracks for the album. Turin decided to part ways with the band in early 2014, and new drummer Patrick Bowe was recruited. The new stuff sounds a lot more progressive than the first one, and is influenced by Aussie bands Cog, Karnivool, The Butterfly Effect, Dead Letter Circus and Sydonia, from my time living there for 5 years, says Aidan.

The band recently remastered and re-released the first album Until the End and have now been joined by Milla Dickens on keys and backing vocals.

Band Members:
Aidan Dickens (vocals, guitar, piano)
Patrick Bowe (drums)
Holden Schade (bass)
Milla Dickens (backing vocals, keyboards)
