ill Angelic is a five-piece band based out of Stafford, VA with a style branching from hard rock to epic scores. Their music is a sound-scape of sweeping melodies, heavy distortion, and a touch of world instrumentation fused together to create a grand portrayal of sorrow and liberation.
The band was originally founded by Jonathan and his two brothers, Joey and Mike. Out of these beginnings came the song Fly Away and many others that are still played by ill Angelic today. The songwriting of the band is almost entirely attributed to Jon Patton (a.k.a. Jon Sorrow) and so despite the changes in band members, the style and sound has remained consistent.
The first official EP/CD was released by the band under the name "ill Angelic" entitled "The Forgotten Letters". It produced a buzz of excitement within northern Virginia with their mixture of creatively crafted tracks, heavy sounding guitar work and beautifully soaring melodies.
The new album titled "Shadows of the Past" includes 15 tracks and is due to be released September 2009. The tracks branch from explosive rock songs to melancholy ballads. It was the essence of the band captured on one single disc... a true revelation of Jon's amazing connection with music set with lyrics that come straight from his soul. It is only the beginning of where the band is headed!
The band is again ready to hit the road to promote our music from the new CD, "Shadows of the Past" to which has become a movement. Come to our shows and support our music by becoming a fan!
