"The eponymous title of the album is a very complex song. It starts with some clean guitars and a beautiful piano theme and by the end of it, everything changes! There is a strong bridge in the middle, with some really big-sounding guitars and a tribal drumming part, which leads into a twin-guitar melody followed by keyboards and a great vocal bridge! “Crimson Wreath” is about a land invasion nowadays and it describes the emotions of the people who woke up under attack." adds the band.

Lyrics:
We heard it on the news, we're under attack
Our land of ancestors' threatened and banned
Eyes filled with terror, our lights gotten black
Our hearts are beating fast, the answer now is gunned
We must protect now our own
Withstand the enemy's zone
Our mourning pain sets the tone
Force alarm
Ammo blasting, Tommy Guns
Fear sadly spans
They'll do us harm
They shall damn our lifeless carns
Intruder knows the job, they blast in flying colours
We’re brave enough to fight but we don’t stand a chance
The world is proud of us, we feel like action heroes
But on our fighting edge, our death is what we glance
We can't protect now our own
Inside the enemy's zone
Now death is setting the score
Force alarm
Ammo blasting, Tommy Guns
Fear sadly spans
They'll do us harm
They shall damn our lifeless carns
We fake our fear of faking
Fears sadly span
Best case scenario we leave things undone
But when we lose don’t we see what is lost?
The crying, the suffer, the cost
Alarming the force
Red Crescent and crimson wreath
Look around you, fear is not the answer
What charade is going on?
They even stole our breath
Faint into falls – Demolish
Having opened for such legendary acts Blue Oyster Cult, Warrel Dane, Geoff Tate, and Gus G, Illusory's new album "Crimson Wreath" is the next step in their widely praised evolution to follow 2016's Polysllabic (7hard/7us) and 2013's "The Ivory Tower" (The Leaders Records).
Melodic, riffy, cerebral, and complex "Crimson Wreath" is a very emotional and melodic release, yet heavy and strong at the same time. Both new fans and ones who have been listening to the band for years will indulge themselves in this latest offering of classic, progressive, epic, and thrashy performances. Lyrical themes found on “Crimson Wreath” are mostly anti-war, but the full length also includes a thematic unit consisting of three songs that deal with human loss.
The band comments:
“Crimson Wreath” has a very warm and solid sound and we feel very proud of the production we have done for it. It is an album that we recorded during one of the toughest times of our lives. We self-produced it with Yiannis and Dee doing an exceptional job mixing and mastering the tracks. It just sounds humongous! We feel we truly captured what we wanted to achieve in C.W."
