With an upcoming residency at the Las Vegas Sphere, ILLENIUM has already confirmed that his next full-length album, The Odyssey, will soundtrack this new phase of his career. As anticipation grows for both the residency and the album, ‘War’ arrives as the latest glimpse into what fans can expect from the project.

The track features Lø Spirit, and was first premiered live last month at Apocalypse Festival, where fan-captured clips quickly went viral. The raw emotion of the song immediately resonated with the crowd. Speaking about the collaboration, Lø Spirit shared that the song arrived at a deeply personal moment, calling the experience visceral and perfectly timed, and expressing gratitude for working with one of electronic music’s most influential artists.

Set for release on February 6, The Odyssey will feature 19 tracks, with ‘War’ marking the seventh song unveiled so far. The single opens with Lø Spirit’s explosive vocal delivery before ILLENIUM’s production builds into a gritty, aggressive structure rarely explored so boldly in his catalog. The rock-leaning edge adds weight and intensity, standing apart from the more melodic and emotional releases fans typically associate with his sound.

ILLENIUM himself described ‘War’ as an instant favorite, noting that the darker energy and rock influence introduce a new dimension to the narrative of The Odyssey. Designed to hit hard both emotionally and sonically, the track’s massive vocals and crushing drop make it clear why ‘War’ has already become a standout moment in his live sets.

With the album release drawing closer and the Sphere residency on the horizon, ILLENIUM is making it clear that The Odyssey will be one of the most ambitious chapters of his career.
