Their music is heavily influenced by Cradle of Filth.
In spring 2002, they signed a contract with Japanese label World Chaos Production. Illnath has expressed that they do not wish to work with World Chaos Production.
"Once again we must conclude that WCP is a crap label and we will use this opportunity to strongly warn potential bands from signing with World Chaos - Do not work with this label!!"
They are currently signed with Roneklint Music as the only band.
Illnath has asked their fans for help in a legal battle against World Chaos Productions. It is still unknown what the reason for this legal battle is, however Illnath did ask their fans how and where they bought their Second Skin of Harlequin album.

Angelic Voices Calling
Illnath Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
His sweat breaks out, he's cold
The voice is a whisper from beyond
Angelic voices calling out to her in promise
She cuts his face
Demanding prayers
Sinful forever
From the time
When she loveth
Comes a burning pain
Deep inside
But now as the knife it searches deeper
He cries out from the pain
The men of her life forever sinful
And now she cleans the world of one more evil sinner
Live in pain
No more for her
Weeding out the weak
Is her ugly task
The voice is a whisper from beyond
Angelic voices calling out to her in promise
And now the time
For his departure
Has court with him
And death must come
Slit his throat
The knife is cleaned of his blood
She leaves the body dead
Going out to find another male
Deserving of her callous hate for being wrongful
The lyrics of Illnath's song "Angelic Voices Calling" are dark and disturbing, speaking of a woman who seeks revenge on men who have wronged her in some way. The man in question in the song is at her mercy as she holds a knife to his throat. He feels the fear and sweat breaking out on his body as she whispers to him, hearing angelic voices calling out to her. She demands prayers from him before she cuts his face, determined to rid the world of one more evil sinner.
The song continues to describe the woman's motivations for her actions. She feels a burning pain deep inside her from the time when she was in love with someone who hurt her. The sinful nature of the men she has encountered has led her to become someone who weeds out the weak and seeks revenge on those who have wronged her. The voice that whispers to her is from beyond, calling out to her with promises that she cannot resist. She believes that her task is ugly, but necessary, to cleanse the world.
The time has come for the man's departure, and she slits his throat. The knife is cleaned of his blood, and she leaves his body dead, ready to find another male who is deserving of her callous hate for being wrongful. The lyrics of the song leave a haunting impression, speaking to a darker side of human nature that is often kept hidden.
