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.
