When Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl first announced the new venture, he shocked fans by revealing that his drumming inspirations during his early years in Nirvana were actually disco pioneers.

Listen to ILLENIUM’s Heartfelt Fourth Album, “Fallen Embers”
Marking the beginning of a new chapter, ILLENIUM‘s Fallen Embers album has finally arrived. When his nonstop touring schedule came to a halt last year, ILLENIUM took to the studio with the goal of creating something truly remarkable. And after tying a bow on a triptych of albums in 2019—offering up only a handful of singles in 2020—Illenials were left wondering what was next. Later that year, the news broke that a new album was in the works. In conjunction with the announcement, ILLENIUM released “Nightlight,” a collaboration with Annika Wells that offered a peek into his forthcoming album. Soon after, he dropped the punk-inspired “Paper Thin” with Tom DeLonge and his band Angels & Airwaves. “Hearts on F...
