And now, for something completely different. In the past few weeks I’ve been doing a kind of rock progression, culminating in a heavy metal band fronted with a female singer. So far, all the all the songs featured on Music Monday have been female voices, and this week is no different in that regard.

But this. This is different. This is a band that I heard playing while visiting a local music store years and years ago and the music literally haunted me. I wrote down the name of the album and the band name but didn’t get the CD. At the time, I just couldn’t afford it. But I never forgot the haunting melodies, so I eventually caved.

Meet Ilya and their debut album, Poise is the Greater Architect. Not to be confused with other bands/singers of the same name. You can get the right one by visiting their Facebook page here. The song I’m sharing, “BPD,” is just one of many that caught my ear that day. There’s no actual video associated here, so just sit back and listen and see if it haunts you too.

Like it? Love it? Hate it? Sound off below!

Reminder: Music Monday is about the music, not the videos. Videos are just the medium I’m using to share the music, and some videos aren’t actually videos at all. Enjoy the songs, but if YouTube forces you to watch some sort of advertisement before you can get to the music, please be patient.
