British progressive rock band Ihlo have announced a new 2024 reissue and first-time vinyl release of their widely celebrated debut album Union. Set for release on 11th October, 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”
