⋘Following their much acclaimed debut 'Tutti Il Colori Del Buio' 12" (Dark Descent/Contagion) and their highly sought after out of print split with Finland's HOODED MENACE, ILSA is back with their sophomore LP.
Their most crushing execution yet, 'Intoxicantations' is a ten track crust/doom infused journey through vice and sin recorded by Kevin Bernsten (Developing Nations) and masterd by James Plotkin of KHANATE.
"THE SCREAM" is my personal favorite track off of ILSA's newest LP; absolutely horrifying in the most sinister of ways, from the lyrics to each and every moment from slow build up to chaotic noise, monster breakdowns, riffs larger than life....this is a track made of nightmares.⋙
◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ BAND BIOGRAPHY & INFORMATION ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊
Ilsa is an independent doom and death metal band from the Washington, DC area. Knowledgeable local music fans consider them the heaviest band in the nation’s capitol. They are supposedly named after a Nazi sexplotation movie from the ’70s or something of the sort. At one point in the past, several members of this band played in Time of the Wolf, a group deemed “Too metal for me” by the punk zine Maximum Rock’n’Roll. It would be facile, but true, to say that Ilsa summons dark forces.
As their influences, they cite: Bolt Thrower, Dismember, Amebix, Entombed, Massacre, St. Vitus, Isengard, Burning Witch, Deviated Instinct, Asphyx, Pentagram, Roky Erickson.
