PRESS RELEASE

Nottingham's illuminatus confirm full UK & Ireland tour with My Ruin

Nottingham's multi-national post-metal quartet illuminatus are set to play at Junktion7 on Canning Circus on 16 October 2008. The show is part of the 17-date Religiosi Tour with Los Angeles' female-fronted hate-metal icons My Ruin.

The tour follows the recent release of illuminatus' critically acclaimed debut album The Wrath Of The Lambs and builds on their successful support of Texan industrial metal legends Ministry on the UK leg of their final world tour (C-U-LATOUR) in May/June.

illuminatus' previous collaborators include producers Harvey Birrell (Therapy?, Ministry) and Pete Coleman (AC/DC, Paradise Lost). The band's music has been compared to Anathema, Paradise Lost, Deftones and Cult of Luna and described as "melodic, atmospheric, powerful" (Rocksound), "soul-shaking dynamics" (Metal Hammer) and "serious music for serious people" (Kerrang!).

Confirming Nottingham's status as the UK's leading city in heavy music, the Religiosi Tour firmly establishes illuminatus as the fastest rising stars of the UK's alternative metal scene.
