This album is like falling in love all over again. finding that first band you put your soul behind and heart into. Absolutely breath-stealing.

I put Abstract Illusion on when I go to sleep and I just drift away and get lost in the melodies. Sensational band and definitely in my top favourites

What a fucking band man. I swear even after a full week of re-listening to this I find myself smirking every time when the intro hits. Damn guys yours are the next album I'm buying no questions asked. I'm serious, I know music is about tastes and tasting but just this week I've heard over 50 new (to me) metal albums and I can safely say that yours goes top of the list heads and shoulders. Such sick riffs dreamy complex melodies and deep brutality! You rock guys rock!

I already posted this at one of the individual songs but this album reminds me very much of Ne Obliviscaris (Portal of I). Both absolutely brilliant.

Finding gems like these that reignite my love for metal ❤️

Can't stop listening....again & again & again....Magnum Opus!!!

Coming here after having listened to Woe a few times. Unsurprisingly, this is also fantastic. You’ve set the bar very high for yourselves with these two albums lol. Incredible work!

If Floyd had ever gone metal. Absolutely love this album, guys. Job well done. 1/29/21 update. I wrote my original comment after only a handful of listens, not yet realizing that I would hear nothing even remotely as beautiful as this in the years to follow. Illuminate the Path has become the gold standard for me- the album against which all other beautiful metal records has and will be judged. Hands down this is my favorite metal album of the past 10 years.

You guys are LIFE!!!...Fvcking amazing. \m/,,,

This is the best album i've ever heard in my entire life since winter's gate from insomnium :"|

Your work is beautiful. I've never heard something that I immediately loved so much since Opeth's Damnation, long time ago. Keep doing stuff as fresh as this. I can't wait to learn the basslines. Greetings from Colombia.

You guys gave me goosebumps, I don't always get goosebumps. Your atmosphere is godlike. Your sound reminded me of my favorite band, Ne Obliviscaris. Cheers, keep it metal. \m/

All day listnening the album and want it more and more. The final is apotheosis. Una obra maestra.

My son just recommended "Moe" to me so as I checked it out I came across this as well. Suffice it to say I've ordered both CDs. Great music guys!

Вы молодцы вдохновляете!

Loved it when I first heard it 2 years ago and still loving it today.

Very good music. When the last track is finished you want to listen one more time everything... It's something special. Congratulations 👏👏👏 Waiting for more like this.

Awesome of you guys to post the entire album here! Keep up the amazing musicianship!

Bravo et merci.

Oh my god....... my jaw hit the floor!

Breathe. Create. Beauty is probably one of the most amazing things I've ever heard, especially at 2:04! What a masterpiece boys!

You guys are amazing. I am looking forward to the future releases. Hopefully on CD :)

wow amazing album, full of beauty and darkness

Wow. What an amazing album.

Как же это красиво

Love the layers and depth in this album. I have listened to it several times and keep finding all these great musical moments I did not notice. I only wish I had the CD and lyric book and was able to really dive into this.

Thank you very much guys for sharing your entire album. It's been an amazing discovery. Keep doing what you do, and I hope to see you on tour as soon as possible !

need vinyl, this record is amazing, side note, vakuum sounds a hell of a lot like tempting time by animals as leaders.

Unexpected Windir!

this album will stick in my head for a long time, it's just amazing

Just, wow!

very good music, beautiful

Immense good Album. Wow.

I always have to give an album with this kind of cover art a listen because it’s 100% going to be something beautiful.

This lyrics for Abode of a god Feeling my wrath and cold Frostbitten by my voice and soul Leaving your endless fear When entering my frozen domain Lost in an eerie austere Stumbling blinded by falling snow Reaching towards heaven for aid in vain Your spirit is mine Doubt clouds my mind Lost in this maze of confusion Longing for a way out Your doom is coming This time you are alone Hunting on cold winter nights My soul isolated by Devabhumi Feel my cold blood boil Presence unknown Taste your blood and pus As I break all your bones Crushed by my throne Lost in an eerie austere Crawling blinded with crumbled limbs Reaching towards heaven for aid in vain Our spirits entwine Doubt clouds my mind Lost in this maze of confusion Longing for a way out Your doom is coming This time you are alone Hunting on cold winter nights My soul isolated by Devabhumi Soon you will fly Leave your spirit (and die) Rest and dream away Embrace your last SIGH The abode of the god Obscures your mind Lost in this maze of confusion Longing for a way out Your doom is coming This time you are alone Hunting on cold winter nights My soul isolated by Devabhumi I AM HIMALAYA I AM ETERNAL

Pretty fucking good. Only expected to listen to it for a second, but that didn't happen.

Today I heard it for the first time - phenomenal!

wauuu !!! esta genial este álbum :) .

Great album! Made a fan outta me!

Alright, I listened to the entire album. I had never heard of the band before; in fact, I didn't even know they existed. I clicked shuffle while working, and I found an excellent album. It's very well composed, and the entire production is impeccable. It truly is a piece of work that transports us to an alternative universe in our minds. However, as a composer, I need to share that perhaps the clean vocals on the album bothered me a bit, but it's just a personal preference at the moment. Maybe I would have written the lines differently. I apologize for the critique; talking about music is something very personal for each individual. Excellent job guys!

Every moment in this album is just amazing. I can't wait to see what this band becomes with their future albums. Beautiful and diverse, I absolutely can't stop listening to this. (And yes like everyone else here thanks CKN for this amazing recommendation)

great album.. ✝

woah this is really damn good

...no comment, pure love !!! Great Band, great album, masterpiece !!!

Another prog death gem !!! Fuckin A+ bruh !!

BANDOTA......RECOMENDADO AL 100%....POCAMADRE TRABAJO DE ESTOS CABRONAZOS!!!! NOWER 427

Amazing title

Damn, this is great stuff, reminds me of Enshine and Omnum Gatherum

Brillawemagperfect!!! Liked, Subscribed. You have a new fan for life.

Coverkillernation added this to his top 5 recent albums as of August.

Quite possibly the greatest band ever

melhor banda

Tfw när du hittar An Abstract Illusion och det finns en skiva, kul att man känner igen Vakuum!

Please release this on vinyl!

I have to say im really impressed about how melodic this metal album is from abstract illusion. This gives me so much strength everytime i listen to it. Especially now since i have fallen back into a relapse, but THIS helps so much and I can confidently say im almost back out of it again. Stick to your path guys and don’t forget, stay hard!❤

Mindfuckingblowing

Jesus... This is really really good! Reminds me of the good bits of Thyrfing, Wilderun and Xerath mashed together with a bit of 3 Inches of Blood! def gonna check these guys out more

Not to keep repeating the masses of other comments but, this is a fucking GREAT album.

The legend says that after the recording, the bass drum committed suicide :D

Thank god for the youtube and it's "suggestions to you" feature... One of the best suggestions recently \w/

love your music. wow. really good.

I love you guys, cheers from colombia!!

The the first "full blown" melody somewhat reminds me of Anathema's Untouchable. Great album!

Sounds great so far. I've yet to see if it can last for eternity. Will do a review for this at Metal Utopia.

Thanks for Windir

I finally found out what the song Talvatis reminds me of.. it sounds very similar to Collapse The Light Into Earth by Porcupine Tree!!

Amazing album, top notch quality! It can compete easily with the new Be'lakor album in my opinion... Very awesome! \m/

Awesome album. It's like a mixture between All that Remains(earlier stuff), Persefone and some Dan Swano influence

EPIC EPIC EPIC MUSIC!!!!! Now, what's up with Talvatis that reminds me soooo much of "Collapse the Light into Earth" by Porcupine Tree?

..this album said what it said and Im in the right path..;)

Very nice. I read your facebook posting about Windir and Sognametal, which descripes pretty well my own enthusiasm and fascination for Windir. This brought me here to listen to the whole album. Not only the Windir cover is great, I also like the rest of the album very much. Will it also be released on CD?

Альбом очень понравился.Хорошее сочетание melodic death и прогрессивных элементов+наличие глубокой атмосферности и медитативности.Музыка не перегружена авангардными элементам, и довольно целостная.Очень подозреваю, что лирическая концепция также интересна

Oh so that's why you're so good Because you're swedish You have viking blood in you!

Really cool Songs :D But the first one reminds me alot on Koven - More than You

seriously, this is one of the best records I've ever heard and I've only listened through to the second song so far. absolutely beautiful, one of a kind. this is such a fuckin great mix of black, melodic, heavy, technical, and fucking emotion. wow, times like, infinity lol. is the band doing any touring? where is the band from?

Putain de groupe, putain d'album. Merci An Abstract 🙏

42:20 The same chord progression as Porcupine Tree's Collapse The Light Into Earth. Great album though, cheers!

Voll der Hammer !!!!!!!!!! Stark!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reminds me of Ne Obliviscaris.
