Australian band IKON has been creating its unique brand of wave music for eighteen years. Chris McCarter (vocals, guitar, programming) and Dino Molinaro (bass) began to write songs as high school students in 1988.
Love, Hate and Sorrow, IKON’s sixth studio album, will be released on October 15th 2009, and was three years in the making. While retaining the essence of influences such as Joy Division, early New Order and Death in June, IKON has added further textures to the band’s style to produce its most accomplished full-length release. Love, Hate and Sorrow embraces melodic song structures without forgetting IKON’s origins and the music that inspired the band to release its first album fifteen years ago.

The album comes as double-CD in an elegant 8-paged digipak on APOLLYON. CD1 contains the official album with 12 tracks, while CD2 comes as an IKON unplugged/acoustic session of 10 tracks.
No matter of rocking like CD1 or as unplugged artists on CD2 – IKON prove ‚Love, Hate and Sorrow’ to be unique, creative and authentic. And as highly talented as never before.
