Finnish three-piece groove metal band Ill Geared released their first full length album “To Dust” on August 7th 2026. The album consists of 10 songs and includes also previously released singles released singles, "To Dust", "The Wasp" and “Abyss”. The songs in the album present Ill Geared’s groove metal style mixed with doom metal influences. Raw, heavy, melodic at times and including some old school vibes. From faster songs with blast beats (Delirious, Abyss...) to slower, almost full doom metal songs, such as “Valley of Death”.

Songs tell about nightmares, nature predators, real life incidents and imaginary stories.
