"Illusive Existence" is the first song written by the British metalcore band Rise To Remain. Originally at the time of the release, their name was Halide.[2] This debut song was released via their Myspace page.[3] After the release, the band began to establish a small following.[3] At first, the song didn't seem to be getting much attention. However, over time, through word-of-mouth and, shameless self-promotion, led to them getting gigs with much more established metal bands such as Eternal Lord, Viatrophy, Exit Ten and Sylosis.[4] After their show with Sylosis, they were offered to play at Download festival. As a result of this, the band changed their bassist and drummer, and also changed their name from Halide to what we now know them as: Rise To Remain.[4]
The song was re-released in 2010 on the Bridges Will Burn (EP)[5]
