With layered compositions that range from tranquil oases to swirling riffs Inhalo is as diverse as an alternative progressive rock band can be. A seamless blend of serene and ferocious elegantly held together by an emotional performance. Tension and release, like a ballet dancer gracefully tiptoeing on a volcanic caldera.
Inhalo is no newcomer. All of the band members have earned their stripes over the years playing tours all over the continent in bands such as A Liquid Landscape, Ivy’s Dream and The Heaven’s Devils, supporting bands like Karnivool, Riverside and Marillion.
After years of working on their music with scene icons like Jochem Jacobs (Textures) and Forrester Savell (Karnivool, Dead Letter Circus), the four Dutchmen have now teamed up with Construction Records for the release of their debut album.
‘Sever’ is a passionate musical journey about dealing with anxiety and the process of growth within its confines. A journey in which beauty can lull you into a false sense of security before it pulls the rug from under your feet and sends you hurtling down its fiery pits.

Album review quotes:
"Dutch alt-rock proggers Inhalo have released what may be the most pleasant surprise of the summer with their debut album, Sever."
Dutch Progressive Rock Pages (DPRP) 9/10
“The label, which will specialize in prog and sympho rock/metal bands, wanted to make an impact with their first release…In my opinion an excellent and justified choice. The album is a feast for the ears from start to finish.”
RockPortaal
“Eight strong compositions in the spirit of Opeth and Riverside. No small names in this genre. ‘Sever’ is a business card to be proud of.”
Heaven Magazine 4/4
“...enjoyed the music from start to finish.”
New Underground Music 4/5
“Certainly for those who like heavier, heavy guitar violence in a progressive jacket, Inhalo can enjoy a lot of listening pleasure.”
Progwereld
“A performance of international allure.”
Aardschok, Eremetaal 82/100
“Inhalo's music is so special that there are really no words for it. Inventive, melodic prog rock with a solid alternative sound, that's what I'm going for.”
