    Howdee,

    Just listening to In The Absence of Truth. Pretty good heavy atmospheric album. Looking forward to their new one.
    I must check them out live, or settle for the dvd in the meantime....:)

    I used to like them but they got a bit boring. It all sounds like Neurosis but not as good. Although I must say that they were good when I saw them at the TBMC a few years ago (although not as good as the support, Jesu) but equally they were crap at Supersonic 2006.

    The new one Wavering Radiant is spectacular, I really didn't think that much of them having given oceanic & panopticon a listen but the new one really is something special!

    Isis have just ended.

    http://isistheband.blogspot.com/
    ISIS has reached an end. It's hard to try to say it in any delicate way, and it is a truth that is best spoken plainly. This end isn't something that occurred over night and it hasn't been brought about by a single cataclysmic fracture in the band. Simply put, ISIS has done everything we wanted to do, said everything we wanted to say

    Pretty sad news alrighty...they were one of my all-time favourite bands...& so happy I saw them in Dublin last October. I'm glad they went out on a 'high' after the success of Wavering Radiant and I've no doubt all their respective solo projects will thrive...

    At least though we have the new album from fellow noise merchants Rosetta next week to look forward to:     www.myspace.com/rosetta

    If your into Isis type music - ye gotta check Rosetta out...

    This news really saddened me :( they're one of the bands that I wanted to see live the most, I missed the October gig due to it being over 18's.

    One of the most consistently brilliant acts in metal.

    Think of the end of Threshold of Transformation [ultimate track off last years 'Wavering Radiant'] in light of this departure & given the fact that they only posted the lyrics last week....Fecking great way to go...they have class...

    I recall the time I came across Isis - As a Tool fan I read that Justin Chamberlain [bassist off Tool] had recorded a track with them on their album 'Panopticon' so I checked it out after hearing the kind of style of muisc Isis played - and wow, I was blown away & have remained an avid fan ever since...It's great music if yer out running or just relaxing at home with the speakers fecking blaring!

    I found so much more wonderful alt-metal music via Isis, including the cool music record company co-owned by A. Turner, the main man...
