ILLUSIONS
"The reality of it all is that Illusions is a truly fantastic album. One that as infinite grower bursts with outstanding performances and well-developed compositions full of exceptionally arranged changes in pace and atmosphere."
"Even though Illusions is Sic Mundus' debut album, it is already known that Andrzej Sesiuk, Artur Placzyński and the musicians accompanying them managed to create something ambitious and mature, an album that has a chance to find recognition among many fans of progressive rock"
"The music on this release hit a nerve with me and if I were to sum up 2023 now, it would be on my shortlist of the best albums of last year!"
"I'll openly admit that I'm incredibly surprised that this release has remained so quiet in the progressive rock world so far. I haven't even seen a review of it. It's a shame, because it's an incredibly successful album that should intrigue progressive music fans in several respects."
"An interesting work of art consisting of surreal paintings, symphonic-electronic prog and some prog metal excursions."
"In contrast, the prog metal shines through in the instrumental 'Time Machine' with its melancholic guitars and becomes even darker in the cinematic 'Victory Of The Light'. Even the other instrumentals, 'Intergalactic Journey' and 'Two Moons', are genuine powerhouses."
"While this debut album, Illusions hasn’t yet won any innovation awards, it does receive plenty of recognition and offers a wealth of illusions of a special kind!"
"I've fallen in love, and I won't refuse any more dates. Oh my, how delicious it is..."
"“Illusions” dates back to 2023. I stumbled upon it by chance at the end of 2024 (ouch!) and the album made a big impression on me. The question is whether this occasional group will release a follow-up."
