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, …
By Robert Brady ‘Genre Defying’ as the band IO Earth places upon themselves is a total understatement. I would go on record now to say they ‘Genre Shattering’. I was as if a mirror were broken and the total sum of its shattered pieces represented many its influential parts. This band has deliberately made sure that the progressive rock/metal community …
By Abaddon (Please note that this review has been translated using an online translator) Three years after the remarkable and noticed “Moments”, the English IOEarth remember our good memories. Given the excellent impression left by the previous album, it’s an understatement to say that this “New World” was watched eagerly, not just David (why David? …
(Please note that this review has been translated using an online translator) Since 2009 the UK (Birmingham) based IO-Earth are residing progland. As with their first opus, IO-Earth indulges us once more with a double album as their 2015 cuvee. Showing above all a band taking itself album by album to an higher level. Listening …
By Henri Strik (Edited by Robert James Pashman) The British band IO Earth made with their eponymous album (see review) for me personally the most impressive album of 2009. On this release you could hear a blend of different musical styles made by two friends who seemingly write music with their eyes closed. Those who …
By Jean-Christophe Le Brun It is thanks to the initial programming of the 2015 edition of Prog South Io Earth caught my attention. English female voice with progressive, usually I like. So I interested in their latest production, their third studio album, New World. This one is a double album and sees the first discographic …
By Thomas Kohlruß (Please note that this review has been translated using an online translator) The second album of the British formation IOEarth – “Moments” – has me pretty excited at that time unexpectedly. The band had yet to offer a pretty private and idiosyncratic mix and in the range of more melodic terrain ‘our’ …
By Shane Pinnegar A grand and epic conceptual work spanning two discs and led by the staggeringly talented musicianship of Dave Cureton and Adam Gough, IO Earth’s New World is a tour de force of symphonic prog rock. Not that you could exactly call this a rock n’ roll album: there are passages of rock, …
By Artur Chachlowski (Please note that this review has been translated using an online translator) Great album. Despite the significant disruption personnel (including the forced absence from the previous vocalist Claire Malin, whose serious illness prevented from continuing career) and, generally speaking, not the best situation for this type of music, gentlemen Dave Cureton (g, …
