Isis - Boston, United States (1997 – present)

Formed in Boston in 1997, Isis is a band that combines ambience, atmosphere, and aggression to form a unique style of metal music. Isis draws from post-rock,
which leans away from the traditional elements of choruses, verses,
repetitive vocals, or fast/repetitive riffs. Compared to many post-rock
bands, though, Isis displays more hardcore and sludge influence (especially in their pre-Celestial era).
Frontman Aaron Turner, when posed the challenge of defining Isis, stated they were best described as “avant-garde, drone-oriented rock, but that doesn’t completely cover the bases.” Some fans and critics tend to label Isis as post-metal. This genre is associated with similar-sounding contemporaries such as Pelican, [url=http://www.last.fm/music/Cult of Luna]Cult of Luna[/url] and Rosetta. Members of Isis are active in a variety of other projects: Aaron Turner was associated with [url=http://www.last.fm/tag/black metal]black metal[/url] supergroup Twilight (who have officialy disbanded in 2008), appears in [url=http://www.last.fm/music/House of Low Culture]House of Low Culture[/url] with Isis bassist Jeff Caxide, and plays in [url=http://www.last.fm/music/Old Man Gloom]Old Man Gloom[/url].
