Ilenkus are a five piece post metal/hardcore band from Galway, Ireland. With three alternating front-men and an energetic and impassioned approach to their performance, the band's sound is constantly in motion. Ilenkus will catch your attention and KEEP IT UNTIL THEY'RE DAMN WELL READY TO GIVE IT BACK.



In September 2014 Ilenkus released their sophomore album "The Crossing", to an overwhelmingly positive response from both national and international press.

Formed in 2006, io started writing loud, progressive, instrumental music that evoked the feeling of Mogwai, ISIS and Red Sparowes.



After cementing a live show described as “so spectacular and powerful it could have soundtracked the moon’s conversion from a glowing, white golf ball into a fearsome, reddish planet”, the band entered the studio to record the debut EP, itwaslostinthefirewestarted.



March 2008 saw the european release of io's debut album, Monolith. Released by French label Arghh! records. In November 2010 io released Materioptikon, the follow-up to Monolith on Grammatical Records. Their third and most recent album 'Our Disintegrating Museum' was released January 2013, also on Grammatical Records. After taking a year off, they're hitting the stage once again in 2015!
