| | Isis, MP3 Music Download at eMusic |
 | | Isis was formed by Hydra Head Records owner Aaron Turner, who was hoping to take the minimalism of Earth and the Melvins and combine it with the experimentalism of Godflesh, backed by the depth and power of the band's most obvious musical counterpart, Neurosis. |
 | | In 2000, Isis produced their masterwork, the Celestial opus, which builds upon the promise of the EP releases while expanding the band's scope to include more warmth, melody, and openness than its decidedly brutal predecessors. |
 | | Isis is a monolithic, breathing, dense, incredibly spiritual musical experience that, while rooted in heavy metal and the punk/hardcore aesthetic, relies just as heavily on ambience, atmosphere, and tone as it does complexity, aggressiveness and raw emotion. |
