We create characters, they create music.
UK Alternative Metal Band.

Twisted Illusion, founded in 2013 by Matt Jones has taken on many forms with many varying lineups, with Matt as the constant driving force behind it. Since 2018 fellow guitarist and collaborator Saxon Davids has seen TI adapt into a partnership between the two as both contribute heavily to the songwriting. The band have recently had a 3rd guitarist join in the form of Zak Robinson, to help them bring their multi layered arrangements to a live setting. 

2023, will see the band release their 5th studio album, ' Upstairs to Optimism' as they also celebrate 10 years as Twisted Illusion. In that time, the band has managed to sell over 5,000 physical albums across 20+ countries, completely independent of any industry support. 

“If you like the sophisticated musical arrangements of Rush and Toto, the cinematic soundscapes of Yes or Marillion and the melodic brilliance of Boston, then you’re going to absolutely love Twisted Illusion’s debut album ‘Temple of Artifice”.

Love Queen? Rush? Dio? How about if you crammed them all together into one big, fleshy prog-rock meatloaf, seasoned with a lack of restraint that makes Devin Townsend look like John Denver? If that sounds palatable, then Twisted Illusion could be right up your street. (Classic Rock)
