Ihlo - Legacy (2025)
Legacy is a commanding second album that builds Ihlo’s ambitions into full form—immersive, technically dazzling, and emotionally resonant.
It fuses lush synthscapes with pounding, djent-leaning guitars, dramatic vocals, and precise, expressive drumming to create cinematic tension.
Themes of technological unease and dystopian futures course through the lyrics, grounding the album’s sweeping sound in contemporary relevance.
Standout tracks like “Wraith,” “Mute,” “Cenotaph,” and the title song deliver both power and nuance, while the epic closer “Signals” offers a hypnotic, emotional denouement.
Elegantly produced and thoughtfully composed, Legacy solidifies Ihlo’s evolution from promising newcomers into a bold force in UK prog metal.
