Biography
The band's name was inspired by Rob Bosdijk's experience with Crohn's disease. iLEUM initially gained attention by participating in music contests during 2006, leading up to the release of their first album, Diagnosed, which debuted on 1 February 2008.
After Rob Bosdijk left the band towards the end of 2008, Sander Spoor took over bass duties while Michel Giardina transitioned from bass guitar to a second guitar role. In June 2009, the band advanced to the finals of The Next Stage competition held at De Melkweg in Amsterdam.
Although iLEUM completed recording a follow-up album titled Summer, High, Love, Sweat! in 2009, it was never officially released due to the band's subsequent breakup. Their last live show occurred in May 2010.
