Illist is a metalcore band based in Lynchburg, Virginia. It began in 2017 as the brainchild of Cecil Johnson (formerly of BoughtXBlood) and has been through a few iterations before solidifying into the current line-up. Spending the last few months finding their sound, the boys: Micah Elias (Vocals) Jerod Folk (Guitar), Taylor Youstra (Bass) and Cecil (Drums) – are finally ready to begin sharing their hard work with the world. From ambient leads to heavy breakdowns – smooth cleans, to nasty low screams – there’s something here for everyone.
Their debut single ‘Padlock’ is released on February 20th (music video below) with two other songs currently in production for release later this year. From ambient leads, to heavy breakdowns – smooth cleans, to nasty low screams – there’s something here for everyone.
“We don’t fit your mold / so we’re left out in the cold”
