    ILLT is the alter ego of Norwegian composer and guitarist Roy Westad. It’s an uncompromising sandbox and a culmination of decades of passion and love for extreme metal as an artform. His debut album «Urhat» features session musicians from Megadeth, Soilwork, Chrome Division and Nile.

    The album was mixed by Kurt Ballou @ Godcity and mastered by Grammy winning engineer Alan Douches. Roy started out as a guitarist before establishing himself as a film composer back in 2008. Since then, he has been involved in countless film and TV projects, and received the Norwegian Emmy for Best Original Score in 2014.

    But he always held extreme metal close to his heart. In some ways, things are now coming full circle. His background as a guitarist helped form his style as a film composer, and his film scoring career has helped in developing the form of ILLT.

    Now he’s ready to unleash his debut «Urhat» (meaning something like «ancient hate» in Norwegian) on the world, and with him on the album he has Dirk Verbeuren on drums (Megadeth), Speed Strid on vocals (Soilwork), as well as lead guitarists Karl Sanders (Nile) and Mr.Damage from Chrome Division.

    The album is set for release on September 16, 2021, and is an eclectic yet seamless blend of groovy and blackened death/thrash/ doom/rock. Brutal yet melodic, modern yet raw.

    ILLT states: «I have a pretty schizophrenic musical taste, I’m quickly bored, and I hate rules and boundaries. This album was written by pure instinct on my own terms, and the result is a genre-defying and emotional ride through intense riff-based metal.»

    The lyrical themes are centered around anger, hopelessness and contempt for the human race, and deal with the darkest sides of religion, politics and de-evolution.

    Tracklist:

    1. Millennial Judas

    2. Sons Of The Northern Lights

lyrics

Lies
Forging the iron beak
To feed off the weak
No greater weapon
Than what you fear
In the hands of despair

Recession
Spawning an inbred master of the masses
a desperate choir lit the fire

No remorse
We’ll never surrender to tyrant force

Rise
Lord of the iron skies
The bringer of war
The roar of the thunder
Blitzkrieg swarm
In the eye of the storm

Destroyers
Summon a yet unrivalled firepower
All hell be unleashed in the darkest hour

Iron crosses are scattered
Burning krauts overboard
Drowned, your eagle lies battered
On the bottom of a fucking fjord

Raiding
Gracing the royal cypher
Spirit never stifled
Resistance will unite us

Souls forever raped
It’s a fate we can’t escape
Time shall bury all our dead
So leave your tears unshed

Knights
Sons of the northern lights
Your hell is our home
Ever outnumbered
By the ice and snow
You will reap what you sow

Up in arms
awaiting no foreign saviour, fortune favours the bold,
I wont rest till my hands are cold

No remorse
We’ll never surrender to tyrant force
All hail
How many have tried, how many will fail?
