Just plain magical: the successful dark wave band's eleventh album. No other band in the German-speaking alternative and dark wave scene polarizes as much as Illuminate does. Johannes Berthold's troupe is either praised to the heavens or torn apart as "schlager". Illuminate succeeds in combining classical elements, danceable rhythms, electronic sound collages, romantic piano passages, and heavy guitars and turning all this into their own typical sound. After ten studio albums and a total of approx. 200,000 sold records, the band is among Germany's most successful dark wave acts. "Zeit der Wolfe" is a concept album based on fairy tales and symbolism and is definitely one of Illuminate's saddest and most contemplative works ever. Rocking moments, piano ballads, lavish sound collages, and unusual orchestrating will make their fans' hearts beat faster. And not only that: even sceptics will not be able to deny that "Zeit der Wolfe" has a fresh and unconventional flair. It's just plain magical!
