With a musical trajectory that spans nearly a decade, Isis has emerged from the frozen recesses of New England to become an internationally renowned force in underground music. Critically revered as the vanguard of "Art Metal", the band has consistently exploded the idiomatic strictures that have traditionally defined heave music, with each new release expanding and improving upon the innovations of it's predecessor. IN THE ABSENCE OF TRUTH is a living, breathing panorama of soaring melodies, dizzying rhythmic ziggurats and seismic heaviness.
Reviews:
Like 2004's Panopticon and 2002's Oceanic before it, Truth runs an artful gamut from lush astral ambience to primitive, harrowing ferocity. You can trip out and incur whiplash to it simultaneously, or just chill and read the cool lit list it's based on: House of Leaves, Don Quixote, Labyrinths and The Last Days of Hitler.
