Isis (band)

Isis (sometimes stylized in lowercase) was an American post-metal band from Boston, Massachusetts that was active from 1997 to 2010. The band's lineup of vocalist-guitarist Aaron Turner, bassist Jeff Caxide, drummer Aaron Harris, guitarist Michael Gallagher and keyboardist Bryant Clifford Meyer remained consistent for all five studio albums. With roots in hardcore punk and doom metal, 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. The band released most material under Ipecac Recordings.
