Formed all the way back in 1994, the cornerstone of their current strength was laid in 2001 when the trio formation of Schmidt/Barthel/Maluschka first got together. The demo recordings "Three Neuron Kings" and "The Porter" made waves that swept far across the German borders, soon resulting in a deal with Metal Blade Records. Two years of hard work later, "Back To Times Of Splendor" became one of the most successful debuts in German metal history. DISILLUSION received worldwide praise by fans and press alike for a monolithic album that intelligently combined elements from various different genres. After intense live activities including festivals and a European tour, DISILLUSION began working on "GLORIA" in February 2005.
