    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

    3. Scythian King

    4. Blood Of The Unbeliever

    5. Every Tree A Gallow

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?

Godless, a brute guerrilla Madness beyond divine Ravage and rape in the name of Attila Savage redefined Nomad, blind defender Unsheathe the sword of Mars Fight or fall, there is no surrender Rise forth, embrace the scars Lead the huns across the Rhine Soon the empire shall be thine Kill one, you’re a murderer A million, conqueror Kill them all and you’re a god So dreadfully unflawed All hail The Scythian King War horns, from afar Galleys on the horizon Paint the sea with the blood of the romans End the reign of the czar Slay them by the millions Tear down their fucking wall A thousand tribes in a vile dominion One king to rule them all Heed, thee renegades of Rome For the lions are coming home Kill one, you’re a murderer A million, conqueror Kill them all and you’re a god So dreadfully unflawed All hail The Scythian King Kill one, you’re a murderer A million, conqueror Kill them all and you’re a god So dreadfully unflawed All hail The Scythian King Kill one, you’re a murderer A million, conqueror Kill them all and you’re a god So dreadfully unflawed All hail

Strike down upon this pagan pest Preach the gospel of war This pious massacre has been blessed by the Babylon whore Kill them all God will know His own Slay the enemies of christ Heed the wrath of the gods Spill the blood of the unbeliever (The) sins of thy son It has begun Thy will, thy will be done Never by holy laws be bound Nor by martyrs detained Weaklings crawl to seize the crown When the wolves are all chained Kill them all I will know my own Slay the minions of christ Feel the wrath of my stone No revenant shall dictate No god shall rule Burn or obey, I choose the fire Reign in the dark, never a slave to the light There is no bravery Or sacred slavery I will not answer to the cross I am denial Your fucking rival I breed a wolf among the lambs of god Those who carry forth the hallowed scythe O’ year 1095 From the first on to the ninth O, their tyranny shall not thrive Kill them all You will know your own Slay the minions of christ Rise, and shatter the throne Spill the blood of the unbeliever Sins of thy son Thy will be done Kill them all Spill the blood of the unbeliever Under the sun It has begun Thy will, thy will be done

This hill is too fucking steep I think I’ll climb the deep Your blackest void is my home It’s where I loathe and atone Branch, please come carry me Carry me home Tight rope around my neck Pray for no hereafter Took the low road But at least I’ve paid my dues Limb by limb Boughs will grow Every tree a gallow My scars will keep me alive I’m bleeding to survive My only friend is a knife How I begrudge your life Branch, please come carry me Carry me home Every tree a gallow

In our past we see our doom The coming of a dreading gloom What dwells beyond the setting sun A violent death for every single one The end of all things The end of every fucking thing The curse is real it’s in us all A slithering pest begins to crawl Rapist politicians Suicidal missions Nuclear religion Bodies torn apart Radicals are waging Holy wars are raging Orphans gassed while sleeping Here’s to - The end of all things The end of every fucking thing The end of everything The headsmen drumming We had it coming We all honed The axes hurled We bred the vultures Circling over the scraps of our rotting world The end of all things The end of every fucking thing The end of everything Beginning of the seventh age From the flames into the void Now all you know will be destroyed Brace yourself now Brace yourself while there’s still time
