Isis discography
Encyclopedia
Isis
was an American post-metal
band, active from 1997 active until their disbandment in 2010. They released five full-length albums, five extended plays (EPs), five live albums, two singles and have collaborated with other artists on numerous other projects.
Isis was formed in Boston, Massachusetts, in late 1997 by Aaron Turner
(guitar
/vocals; also the owner of Hydra Head Records
), Jeff Caxide
(bass guitar
), Chris Mereschuk (electronics/vocals) and Aaron Harris
(drums
). They released a demo and their first EP
, Mosquito Control
, in 1998, with this lineup. The roster was fairly fluid around the release of the 1999 EP The Red Sea, until the recruitment of Bryant Clifford Meyer
of The Gersch
and former Cast Iron Hike guitarist Michael Gallagher
in 1999. Isis remained with this lineup until their dissolution. Isis' debut full-length, Celestial, and its sister EP, SGNL>05
, were released in 2000.
In 2002, Oceanic
was released to critical acclaim, and was the subject of a series of four vinyl reinterpretations by various contemporary artists; the series was consolidated into an Ipecac Recordings
release, entitled Oceanic: Remixes & Reinterpretations
. Growth in stature necessitated relocation to Los Angeles
in 2003. Panopticon
was released in 2004, to further critical plaudits and an album of the year award from Rock Sound
. It was also the band's first entry into the charts, peaking at number 47 in the Billboard Top Independent Albums chart.
Their next record, In the Absence of Truth
, was released by Ipecac on October 31, 2006. This full-length charted more successfully, peaking at number six in Billboard's Top Heatseekers
chart; however, critical reception was not particularly warm and the band themselves have expressed disappointment with the album. "Holy Tears
" and "Not in Rivers, but in Drops
" were released from the album as singles in 2008, along with a limited-edition vinyl compilation box set entitled Shades of the Swarm
later in the year. Their final full-length, Wavering Radiant
, was released in 2009 and marked the band's first entry in the Billboard 200
, peaking at 98; it also saw international commercial exposure, seeing entry into the charts of the United Kingdom
, Germany
and Norway
. Isis split up in June 2010, just before the release of a split EP
with Melvins. Their entire back-catalogue of live releases saw digital re-release in mid-2011, and two compilations are lined up in the wake of Isis' dissolution; however, neither compilation has seen release as of 2011.
