Isis | Artist

Isis was an American post-metal band formed 1997 in Boston, Massachusetts, by Aaron Turner (guitar, vocals), Jeff Caxide (bass), Aaron Harris (drums) and Chris Mereschuk (electronics). The band borrowed from and helped to evolve the post-metal sound pioneered by bands such as Neurosis and Godflesh, characterized by lengthy songs focusing on repetition and evolution of structure. Isis disbanded in June 2010, just before the release of a split EP with the Melvins. In 2018, the group reformed as Celestial for a one-off show to pay tribute to bassist Caleb Scofield who died in a car accident.The band released Five consistently strong studio albums, the stand-outs being Oceanic (2002), Panopticon (2004) and In The Absence of Truth (2006). In 2011 Jeff Caxide, Aaron Harris and Bryant Clifford Meyer regrouped and formed Palms featuring Chino Moreno of Deftones on vocals and guitar. The resulting self-titled debut album was released on June 25, 2013. Aaron Turner has to-date released Three solo albums. In August 2014 Isis changed their name on Facebook to "Isis the band" in order to avoid any confusion with the Islamic State.
