Damn, ik ken deze band nog niet zo lang en sindsdien heb ik geen kans gezien om ze live te gaan zien. Kunnen ze niet nog effe een afscheidstour doen?

Ik vond de laatste albums niet bijster interessant meer, maar toch zonde dat ze kappen. Live erg van genoten.

Vond de laatste juist hun beste. Heb ze nooit live mogen aanschouwen.

Good Night!
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. In the interest of preserving the love we have of this band, for each other, for the music made and for all the people who have continually supported us, it is time to bring it to a close. We've seen too many bands push past the point of a dignified death and we all promised one another early on in the life of the band that we would do our best to ensure ISIS would never fall victim to that syndrome. We've had a much longer run than we ever expected we would and accomplished a great deal more than we ever imagined possible. We never set any specific goals when the band was founded other than to make the music we wanted to hear and to play (and to stay true to that ideal), so everything else that has come along the long and winding path has been an absolute gift. As with any momentous life-changing decision (which this certainly is for the 5 of us), we feel a very dynamic range of emotions about this and cannot express all of it within the space of a few sentences, and perhaps it's best to do what we've always done in and let our music speak for us. It is and has been the truest expression of who we are as a collective and in some ways who we are as individuals for the 13 years in which we've been together. The last and perhaps most important thing we might say in relation to all this is how grateful we are for the people that have supported us over the years. It is a lengthy list that would include those who put out our records, those that played on them and put them to tape, the many bands with whom we shared the stage, all of our family, friends and companions who supported us in our individual lives and thus made it possible for us to continue on in the band, and most importantly those who truly listened to our music whether in recorded form or by coming to out to our shows (or both). It is quite true that we would never have done what we have without those people, that is many of you who are reading this. Our words can never fully express what we feel, but we hope that our music and the efforts made to bring it into being can serve as a more proper expression of gratitude for this life and for everyone in it. Thank you.

In more immediate and practical terms the tour we are about to embark upon is indeed our last. We are hoping that these final live rituals can help us bring a close to the life of this band in a celebratory and reverent way, and also provide us with a chance to say goodbye to many of those that have supported us over the years. While there is a measure of sadness that comes with the passing of this band, we hope that the final days can be joyous ones during which any and all that wish to come and join us will do so. It seems fitting that the last show of the tour and of our active existence will take place in Montreal, the site of the very first ISIS show in 1997 (though that was an unintentional move when booking the show initially). After the tour we also plan to follow through with other projects set in motion some time ago - pursuing the completion of a final EP, compiling live audio and visual material for future releases, and generally doing whatever we can to make our music available for as long as there are people who wish to hear it.

Thanks again to any and all,

ISIS, May 18, 2010

als ik het goed begrijp komt er dus nog wel een EP uit

voor de rest blijft het natuurlijk

verstandige keuze, ook al klinken de laatste platen als een klok, de inspiratie was al een tijdje ver te zoeken. Beetje herhaling van stappen. Een break van 5 jaar, hernieuwde inspiratie opdoen en gewoon weer terugkomen met een knaller.

Afgaande op hun live prestaties is het een goede keuze, het werd minder met elke keer dat ik ze zag maar alsnog erg jammer. Ze hebben heerlijke platen gemaakt en geniale live shows gegeven!

Heerlijke band. Jammer.

Zonde. Fantastische band, vond hun laatste plaat ook nog erg goed.

Als afscheid is er nu een split ep met the Melvins uitgekomen.

01. Pighouse (the Melvins)
02. I'll Finish You Off (the Melvins)
03. Way Through Woven Branches (Isis)
04. The Pliable Foe (Isis)

Klinken als overblijfselen van Wavering Radiant, maar die je toch wel gehoord moet hebben. Vooral dat laatste nummer is heel mooi opgebouwd.

Atmospheric metal doomsmiths Isis had kicked the bucket band-wise back in 2010, but as previously reported, the group got together recently to prep a rarities set called Temporal. When they announced the record, they noted that the collection would capture moments from throughout their lengthy career, but still hadn't yet delivered the full details. Isis have now revealed the tracklisting, as well as the art that will don the cover.

The set will feature two discs' worth of alternate takes and rarities. Some of the potential highlights on here include their work from their limited 2010 split with the Melvins, and a full disc of previously unheard demos, including versions of Oceanic tracks "Carry" and "False Light." You can peep all the details down below.

Temporal also comes packaged with a DVD featuring four previously seen music videos, as well as an exclusive clip for "Pliable Foe."

"It was fun and also very nostalgic collecting material for this release," drummer Aaron Harris previously said in a statement. "I hear our catalogue differently now that I'm not living with these songs day to day. This is a special collection of outtakes, demos, unreleased tracks and videos; some of which I think we even forgot about."

Temporal arrives November 6 through Ipecac.

Nice

Leuk hoor maar voegt naar mijn idee niks toe.
Bovendien heb ik alle splits en ep's al.
Dit zijn van die releases die je een keer luistert. Leuk voor in de kast maar meer ook niet.

Dat heb ik sowieso wel met Isis. Live daarentegen...

Precies. Vooral die laatste live lp is echt heel mooi. Sommige nummers klinken daadwerkelijk beter op die release dan op de albums:

Niet zo zeuren. Disc 1 met demotracks kun je nog nooit gehoord hebben. Op disc 2 staat weliswaar wat bekender materiaal maar ook een nooit uitgebracht nummer "Temporal" en een acoustische versie van "20 Minutes/40".

Ok voor de oppervlakkig geinteresseerde voegt dit niks toe. Maar ik vind demo's altijd erg interessant om te horen, gebeurt niet zelden dat ik ze fijner vind klinken dan de album versies.
