The Illumination formed their band on January 2, 2013 at Providence, RI. Invogue Records signed them for their debut album Departures.In less than a year, The Illumination discography so far:
Departures (2013)

Steven Almon - Guitar
Rob Lundy - Bass
Thomas Crosby - Drums
Departures Artwork portrays inner illumination within the city despite clouded outside influence. The sky from the city is colored with orange, yellow, and green and if you can see the dark cloud above it, a long-haired girl is formed. In the right side of the cover, you can see several men are leaving from the city and I think they aren't accepted to the city's standards. Departures will be released on October 1, 2013.
Departures has 10 tracks, intro with the Voice of the Voiceless, and outro with Separations. If you can hear the intro of their album, they got a dramatic entrance with highly energetic performance to represent the whole album. The outro with Separations track, I think is their best track because it connects itself from the first track, leaving you a decision to play the album again. Separations is the name of the outro, but I think they don't want to let the audience down and let the album go somewhere else so they deliver a good outro to build their name upon.
The Illumination - Departures Tracklist:
1. Voice of the Voiceless
2. Hollow Disposition

4. A Chance to Change My Ways

Here is the Separations track from their album, Departures, and I think the bass is what makes it really good.
