Ilsa has been played on NTS in shows including Goblin Milk, featured first on 26 January 2021. Songs played include Epigraph.

Ilsa is a sludge/death metal/crust band from the Washington, DC area, formed in 2008. Knowledgeable local music fans consider them the heaviest band in the nation's capitol. They are supposedly named after a Nazi sexplotation movie from the ’70s or something of the sort. At one point in the past, several members of this band played in Time of the Wolf, a group deemed “Too metal for me” by the punk zine Maximum Rock'n'Roll. It would be facile, but true, to say that Ilsa summons dark forces.

Their lineup includes…

Joshy- drums Brendan- guitar Orion- vocals Tim - guitar Sharad- bass

Past Members include:

Garrett - guitar Dominec Romeo (ex-pulling teeth) - guitar

As their influences, they cite: Bolt Thrower, Dismember, Amebix, Entombed, Massacre, Saint Vitus, Isengard, Burning Witch, Deviated Instinct, Asphyx, Pentagram, Roky Erickson
