Review by Jason Spencer – 8th May 2020 10 STAR REVIEW (9,5/10) In a progressive community that often favors technical achievement over melodic inspiration, it takes guts to focus on the latter. That is exactly what Infinite Ocean Earth (IO Earth) has done on their latest album, “Aura”. This album released exclusively through the band’s …
VELVET THUNDER – WEBZINE Review by Paul Whimpenny – 3rd May 2020 IO Earth have once again managed to produce a powerful and emotionally moving album that will be a strong candidate for the best progressive album of the year How to describe the music of IO Earth? Many bands like to say that their …
Review by Pete Flodden – 26th April 2020 5 STAR REVIEW (5/5) I first encountered IO Earth on their second album ‘Moments‘.

Solitude, however, is …

By Stuart Smith IO-Earth hit the stage next and we’d already had a good chat with their leader and guitarist Dave Cureton and a beer with their engineer in the nearby Skooby Doo bar. The band is from the UK and have three studio and a live album to their name. This is neo-prog with …
By Rachel Mann Some albums are worth clearing your diary for, and IO Earth’s third studio offering is one of them. Over nearly 100 minutes of symphonic goodness, New World reminds us that taking time to climax is the key to pleasure. It’s their first studio release since 2012’s Moments and also the first to …
By Zachary Nathanson It’s been a good while since I’ve heard some excellent music from the sounds of IO Earth. After hearing their first two albums (their sole self-titled debut and Moments), which I’ve championed back in 2011 and 2012, I always thought to myself, “what am I to expect next for them?” This year, …
