Ihlo - Replica - Official Video - Taken from the album 'Legacy' due for release on 29 August 2025 on Kscope
'Legacy' is available to pre-order here: https://IHLO.lnk.to/Legacy

Video produced by JWA Creations (IG @jwacreations )

‘Replica’, the second single from the highly anticipated new album "Legacy" from the rising stars of the British Progressive Metal Ihlo.

Speaking about the track, the band shared the following -
“Written only months after the completion of the debut album, Replica became an instant fan favourite at live shows. Finessed through energetic performances on the road and with some final additions in the studio, Replica represents the versatility and sudden dynamic shifts found on the album. The main themes are evocative and atmospheric, and the breakdown showcases an aggression previously unheard from the band. Knowing how well it was received in its debut on the In Stasis live EP, we’re very excited to present it in its final intended form!”

Five years in the making, Legacy marks a major step forward for Ihlo. Written collaboratively by Andy Robison, Phil Monro, and 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 and won Ihlo praise across the prog world.


REPLICA LYRICS
Alien thoughts in me
Static and noise
My head is broken and torn
And I know it’s taking control of me

We’ll fall in line
We’ll give way
Assimilate
You’ll tear apart
Strip away what makes us pure

And it’s overtaken me
And all that I know is washing away
And if I’d known
We’d never be the same
Fell by the side
We’re alone

I know that you’re here
My Echo
Every move I make in pain
And I never know which way to look
Bleeding from your broken hook
It’s overtaken me
And it’s taking control
It’s taking control

I know that you’re here
My Echo
Every move I make in pain
And I always know which way to look
Taking everything from you
To make myself complete

I’ve got nothing left to give
So take what’s left and bury me
I’m broken to the core

And it’s overtaken me
And all that I know is washing away
And if I’d known
We’d never be the same
Fell by the side
Courageous ‘til the end

Though the pain is gone
There’s a shadow in the mirror
And if I’d known
We’re the same
