The Illness

The Illness, a moniker under which Miguel Depedro operates, has become synonymous with the intricate and experimental sounds of progressive rock and metal. Depedro’s 2003 album 'Kill Sound Before Sound Kills You' under the alias Kid 606 is a prime example of this approach, featuring complex arrangements and guest vocals from Wayne Lonesome. This record, along with the accompanying EP 'The Illness', solidified his reputation for crafting music that defies easy categorization. His most recent project, 'Macrodosed', slated for 2025, promises to deliver another layer of complexity and innovation to his already rich discography. Depedro’s music is characterized by its technical prowess and willingness to explore unconventional structures and rhythms. The interplay between dense guitar work and intricate vocal harmonies creates a texture that is both immersive and thought-provoking. Collaborations with other visionary artists have further enriched his catalog, adding layers of depth and experimentation to his work. Whether through live performances or studio recordings, The Illness continues to be a force to reckon with in the world of progressive music.
