Illuminata is a symphonic female fronted metal band from Graz, Austria, founded by Luki Knoebl (bass) and Dave Slut (drums). In March 2007, the line-up was eventually completed by singer and flutist Katarzyna and the band established with their first EP “Lachrymal”. In the aftermath of the record the band’s rapid growth in musical skill, resources and ambition again made changes in the line-up inevitable. A new keyboardist (Sabrina) as well as a new bassist (Christoph) and a new voice (Joanna) completed the band once more while Luki discovered his true destiny, the guitar. Their second release “A World So Cold” from 2011 made remarkable success across the heavy metal media.
