BIO:
Emerging from the vibrant music scene of Prague, Czech Republic, IONS is a dynamic five-piece Progressive Metal outfit. Founded by guitarist Jakub Tirco and vocalist Tomas Lago, the band’s inception was a natural progression of their initial collaboration on Tirčo‘s EP, “Introspection.” IONS’ distinctive sound is characterized by a seamless integration of atmospheric keyboards, orchestral elements, and complex time signatures. Their affinity for synthesizers, low-tuned guitars, and Post-Rock influences shines in their latest album “Counterintuitive.” Within their songwriting, the band explores themes of morality, inequality in society, animal rights, domestic abuse, and more.
