Illusions of Grandeur Hi guys, welcome to VENTS! How have you been? Thank you for having us, we have been great, 2023 has been an amazingly busy year for the band! The Dien tour continued throughout 2023 taking us all over the United States in into the UK playing festivals and clubs including the famed Iron Maidens “Cart & Hores” where IOG wrapped their European your in June 2023. What can you tell us about the title and meaning behind your most recent release? Yes, we recently released a new single “Midnight” it is the next step for Illusions of Grandeur, the 1st single from the forthcoming album “The Siren Rises” which the band hopes to have in release by early 2024. “Midnight” again takes the band musically into unfamiliar territory.

Illusions of Grandeur’s main music writer is Bassist CM Carroll with lyrics and melodies provided by The Siren. The entire band participates in the arranging and recording process and each member, as songs are produced add elements into it to create the overall song and sound. IOG is continuously writing, normally demoing 30-35 songs per album then finding the songs that carry the story and sound of the record.
