IHLO RETURN WITH THEIR AMBITIOUS SECOND ALBUM 'LEGACY', PRESENTED ON DIGIPAK CD WITH 12-PAGE PRINTED BOOKLET / BLACK 2LP / DARK GREEN INDIE EXCLUSIVE 2LP.

Five years in the making, 'Legacy' marks a major step forward for Ihlo, capturing their growth from rising newcomers to a confdent force in the UK modern prog scene

Written collaboratively by Andy Robison, Phil Monro & 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 & 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' benefts from the studio's breathtaking acoustics, which lend the drums an organic immediacy. The album presents ten new tracks that drift between shimmering ambience & tightly wound rhythmic propulsion.

Where 'Union' hinted at Ihlo's infuences, 'Legacy' speaks in their own voice: ambitious  without excess, richly melodic yet never predictable.

Lyrically, the album casts a wary eye on the near-future - one in which technological advancement feels increasingly hollow, its progress governed by proft rather than purpose. 

This edition of 'Legacy' is presented as a CD digipack & includes a 12-page printed booklet.
