IHLO – Legacy – the new album – coming 29 August 2025 Legacy will be released on Ltd edition dark green vinyl LP / LP / CD / digital Pre-order your copy from here: https://IHLO.lnk.to/Legacy
Five years in the making, Ihlo’s new album Legacy marks a major step forward for the British outfit, capturing their growth from rising newcomers to a confident force in the UK modern prog scene. Written collaboratively by band members Andy Robison, Phil Monro, and Clark McMenemy, Legacy is a fascinating and worthy successor to 2019’s Union - an acclaimed debut that topped Bandcamp’s Progressive Metal chart and won Ihlo praise across the prog world. Recorded in part at The Arch Studios in Southport - a stunning space housed within a 140-year-old restored church - Legacy benefits from the studio’s breathtaking acoustics, which lend the drums an organic immediacy.
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. Lyrically, the album casts a wary eye on the near-future - one in which technological advancement feels increasingly hollow, its progress governed by profit rather than purpose "

The 2024 reissue and first-time vinyl release of UK prog band Ihlo's debut album Union is out now. Union is characterised by a seamless fusion of progressive metal, electronic elements & subtle pop hooks, and quickly established Ihlo as a rising force within the progressive music scene upon its release in 2019. The album reached #1 on Bandcamp’s ‘Progressive Metal’ charts multiple times and continues to resonate with fans worldwide.
Speaking on the reissue and the new partnership with Kscope, singer Andy Robison said "We're very happy to finally be able to release this record on vinyl after many, many requests! It's been a long time coming and we hope that this reissue with the incredible remastering by Acle will be a great way to relisten or discover the Ihlo sound for the first time! The songs on this record mean a lot to us and we can't wait to give them a couple more spins on the road this October before we finish off Album 2."
“A smörgåsbord of artful ambience, dancing djent, and glossy pop hooks… something of a cult classic”
