Ihlo

Ihlo are a progressive metal band based in the UK. Though the foundation for their music relies on the heavy sound associated with metal music - with influences from progressive staples such as Porcupine Tree, Devin Townsend and TesseracT - the influences from electronic and pop music cannot be ignored. Their music is stacked with huge melodies and hooks that draw you deeper into the lush wall-of-sound production, meticulously crafted throughout the early formative years of writing. Ihlo are unafraid to pull you into their spacious, groovy, yet emotionally charged sound. Five years in the making, Legacy marks a major step forward for Ihlo, capturing their growth from rising newcomers to a confident force in the UK modern prog scene. Written collaboratively by Andy Robison, Phil Monro, and Clark McMenemy, the album blends remote writing with focused studio sessions. The result is a dynamic follow-up to 2019’s Union - an acclaimed debut that topped Bandcamp’s Progressive Metal chart and won Ihlo praise across the prog world. The album presents ten new tracks that drift between shimmering ambience and tightly wound rhythmic propulsion. Where Union hinted at Ihlo’s influences, Legacy speaks in their own voice.
