Illusory - 'Ashes To Dust' (official music video)
Mother Thetis,
My Goddess, my queen
Scion of Myrmidons,
My fate's been written on
Odysseus tricked me,
A fake battle scene
Deep in the Skyros isle
Where I was hidden
They gave me warfare
When I was fifteen
I've been invincible
And never beaten
Thrust my spear high
Turns ashes to dust
Brave and sacred the Achaean’s nation
We cry in choral, a wail for the dead
Graves in fields, an eternal damnation
Eye for an eye, their blood I shall spread
I'll fight even fame, Achilles' my name
Fifty ships, nine victorious years
Killed men and sons of Gods without a penance
Lost my friend, spent my last drops of tears
I'm coming for you, Hector, taste my vengeance
Thrust my spear high turns ashes to dust
Brave and sacred the Achaean’s nation
We cry in choral, a wail for the dead
Graves in fields, an eternal damnation
Eye for an eye, their blood I shall spread
I'll fight even fame, Achilles' my name
Twelve Gods of Greece, all by your side
Now rest in peace, brother be my guide
Your soul is mine, your mortal breath
Now quench your thirst, water from Lethe
So brave and sacred the Achaean’s nation
We cry in choral, a wail for the dead
Graves in fields, an eternal damnation
Eye for an eye, their blood I shall spread
I'll fight even fame, Achilles' my name
Ashes to Dust!

Η σ' εὖ γιγνώσκων προτιόσσομαι, οὐδ᾽ ἄρ᾽ ἔμελλον πείσειν· ἦ γὰρ σοί γε σιδήρεος ἐν φρεσὶ θυμός. Φράζεο νῦν, μή τοί τι θεῶν μήνιμα γένωμαι ἤματι τῷ ὅτε κέν σε Πάρις καὶ Φοῖβος Ἀπόλλων ἐσθλὸν ἐόντ᾽ ὀλέσωσιν ἐνὶ Σκαιῇσι πύλῃσιν.

Ashes to Dust!
Τιτλοφορείται "Crimson Wreath", κυκλοφόρησε πρόπερσι και αποτελεί το πλέον πρόσφατο δισκογραφικό πόνημα των Illusory. Πρόκειται για τον τρίτο συνολικ full length album των Αθηναίων metallers. Η ιστορία των Illusory ξεκινά το μακρινό 1992. Τότε σχηματίσθηκαν οι Ivory Tower.
Είκοσι χρόνια μετά (και με δισκογραφικό απολογισμό δύο demos, ένα ep και τον ομώνυμο "ολοκληρωμένο" δίσκο) μετονομάσθηκαν σε Illusory. Το album μάλιστα "The Ivory Tower" αποτελεί τον συνδετικό κρίκο στην αλλαγή ονόματος της μπάντας καθώς αποτελεί τον δισκογραφικό επίλογο των The Ivory Tower το 2006 και το ντεμπούτο των Illusory όταν κυκλοφόρησε επανηχογραφημένο το 2013...

Δελτίο τύπου: «During editing, the idea just popped up. “One day we must revisit this material and make a performance video out of it”. The Ivories kept the thought.
The “Ashes To Dust” video became a cinematic extravaganza, reaching nearly eighty thousand views.
Almost two and a half years later, Illusory reopen the box and create this all-performance “bleu” video, as a goodbye and thank you to their most recent album, “Crimson Wreath”, whilst enjoying studio sessions for their next discographic attacks.»
