 Isis lets Panopticon terrorize - Music
The newest Isis album, Panopticon, is a conceptually rich, integral album that elucidates a new sense of direction for a band that has always experimented and moved forward.
Perhaps Isis does manage to become both the prisoner and the guard in a circular prison, bridging gaps that they've made for themselves and dedicating so thoroughly the idea of the complete that they've walled themselves into one of the most frightening and interesting soundscapes to grace the silver side of the media.
Isis is one of the few bands in this decade that is capable of bringing a story, an idea, a sentence and an oeuvre to life.

 Isis - Biography - AOL Music
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.
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.

 Oceanic Review | Isis | Reviews @ Ultimate-Guitar.Com

 Isis
With the third album came a third line-up of band members and a decidedly different approach to the music as it was produced by the "1,2,3" man - Len Barry and took on a sound that was more fitting with the times - perhaps not as compelling as the first album but quality fare nonetheless.
ISIS was a self-contained band, writing and performing original material and playing every note of it themselves.
The underlying point was that the band was "different." Good different or bad different hardly mattered, ISIS was made up of women and that became the story, with their music made a secondary consideration.

Isis rein in their chaos skillfully, applying just the right punch of volume at just the right moment, swelling and fading and swelling again to explosion with formidable discipline.
Whereas eight-minute-plus songs are nothing new for the band, the strongest tracks, like "So Did We" and "In Fiction," are more focused on building toward a central climax, underscoring their power by foreshadowing it more often than flexing it.
Isis are sophisticated, but they play with the conviction necessary to trim away the excess pretentiousness.

 Isis - SGNL>05 - Review - Stylus Magazine
Isis, in the American music scene, is a much-loved heavy metal band- an extremely, superbly, mind-blowingly heavy metal band.
The various atmospheres that Isis constructs within their music capably demonstrate both sheer aggression and the resulting catharsis with equal impact, and with such intensity as to border on a spiritual listening experience.
The Isis experience was at its apex with their 2001 release Celestial, which featured, for the first time, elements of ambience and electronics in addition to the pummeling mechanical catastrophe of the guitars and vocals.

 village voice > music > Isis' Panopticon by Erik Davis
Unlike the nu-metal brats, though, Isis know that staying true to the essential economy of hardcore does not mean you can't go for the Big Picture, either in expansive sound, absurd song length (average here is eight minutes), or ambitious thematic concept.
Isis deserve their name, in other words, because they have achieved a genuinely epic sound, not by aping Scandinavian fl metal, but by melting down their own peculiar influences—including, most importantly, the dread commotions of their pals Neurosis—into a modern American hammer of the gods.
Because while the band's riffs are sludgerific, their greatness now turns as much on the softer stuff: layered, pensive, and sometimes downright pretty passages whose mellowness is not, in that tried-and-true metal formula, simply a palette cleanser for monster chords.

His instrument is also the loudest element in the band's live mix; Caxide's lowest notes liquefy whatever it was you had for dinner.
Throughout its set, Isis yoked the horsepower of heavy metal to the clockwork precision of industrial music, oiled with a doomy viscosity.
Even so, the band's undeniable complexity is surprisingly understated; its songs tend to feel as elemental and inevitable as tides and seasons.
