For well over a decade this band has explored the fringes of the alternative rock/metal genre displaying an original style that can be seen as a crossroad between metal, industrial, post rock and new wave. Their fifth release, “Tellurique”, finds the band hitting where it hurts. All the while, the music seethes with melancholic atmosphere – clear parallels can be drawn between this release and the Swans, the dark ambience of Nick Cave’s work, and the crushing brutality of Godflesh. It speaks volumes about the quality of this band that Isis has personally chosen them as the opening band on their up-coming UK tour.
