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 …

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, …
By Thomas Szirmay IO Earth has released two celebrated studio albums that made some serious waves within the prog community, supplying a modern curve to the well-travelled neo-prog rock genre by infusing some quite brilliant vocals, such as those by Steve Balsamo, who also participated on the Rob Reed (Magenta) Kompendium project. Strange coincidence (not) …
