My name is Matt Lueck. I was born and raised in Portland, OR. I was brought up in a family that was all about music. My father was a drummer as well and at a young age I followed his every move. He got me my very first drum kit when I was 5. Since that day, I have always been behind a kit learning and playing to everything I was into at the time. 

As I got older I joined many bands. Some good and some not so good. I later found Illusence.  

 As a post hardcore band we have worked tirelessly to improve not only our music but ourselves as individuals as we strive to provide the best possible music we can. With our most recent release of ‘Existence’ in September of 2021, we have focused our vision for the project into one that provides hard hitting guitar riffs with catchy choruses exploring the depths of personal struggles and finding a way to survive in today’s world.

 

With Rock, Metal and Hardcore influences, our sound and style is hard to pinpoint, yet we hope to resonate with all who listen. We take pride in the fact that we’re not locked down to a niche genre.
