Illusions Play, the rising atmospheric doom/death metal band from Istanbul, Turkey, just released their new single "Morning Dew" from their upcoming second full-length album “Empire of Desolation”. After a significant period of silence, Illusions Play breaks through with this atmospheric masterpiece, offering a glimpse into their profound realm of extreme doom/death metal.

With "Morning Dew", Illusions Play delves deep into themes of existential dread, cosmic abandonment, and fleeting hope, creating a haunting and atmospheric journey for their listeners. This track explores a world where darkness dances with light, promising to captivate listeners with its introspective and haunting landscape. Serving as a prelude to the band's imminent second album, "Morning Dew" invites fans and newcomers alike to explore the depths of their musical vision.

Musically, Illusions Play captures the essence of doom and death metal's raw intensity with heavy riffs, haunting melodies, and growling vocals that evoke a powerful emotional landscape. Amidst the despair, "Morning Dew" symbolically represents the resurgence of hope and life's tenacity amidst desolation.

Illusions Play states, "Morning Dew is an exploration of the delicate balance between despair and hope. It represents our personal and artistic journey through times of inner darkness and the search for light. We hope our listeners will find solace in this journey."

Emerging from the ancient echoes of Istanbul, Illusions Play took its first breath in 2011 as a project of Ukrainian musician Vitaliy Petrenko (Can Aydin). The band has since evolved, creating a unique blend of atmospheric doom and death metal.
