Legacy

Five years in the making, Legacy marks a major step forward for Ihlo, capturing the band's growth from rising newcomers to mature contenders. Written collaboratively by Andy Robison, Phil Monro, and Clark McMenemy, the album is a dynamic follow-up to 2019’s Union (an acclaimed debut that topped Bandcamp’s Progressive Metal chart and won Ihlo widespread praise). 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. The album's ten tracks drift between shimmering ambience and tightly wound rhythmic propulsion. Legacy is ambitious without being excessive, richly melodic yet never predictable.
