We are pleased to announce that we got an invitation from FRYYFEST from Czech Rep. Whole event will take place in August in Frýdlant v Čechách. Fryyfest association with “Across prejudices” as leading theme are promising great musical tunes of emo, rock, punk, hardcore and metal bands including Illuminandi and Sacrificium. We consider that as one of Christmas gifts as well as our plans for upcoming new year 
Due to personal reasons our drummer Janusz Domka decided to leave the band. We parted our ways as friends – Janusz was simply tired with having to commute 120 kilometers to rehearsals and also needed some rest from playing music. We wish him all the best and may God watch over him. At the same time, we would like to introduce our new drummer: Tomasz “Papirus” Pyzia. Tomasz is an experienced and extremely tallented musician and some people may be familiar with his musical input in bands such as Qwert or Rumor. We are proud to have him in our line-up. At the moment we are working hard on new material as well as practising our old songs with Tomasz and getting ready for 2009, which hopefully will be more active for Illuminandi than 2008.
We wish you a peaceful and joyful Christmas! May baby Jesus soften our stone hearts… Also, have a fantastic New Year!!! Take care,
We wish to recommend for all of you brand new compilation released 03/11 on-line by French magazine Beehave: 63 bands, including our song “The Rider” as #58 on the tracklist. Whole compilation is available to download for free in one huge piece – 450 MB or divided into 4 files equal to 4 CDs lenght
