8/31/2009 GOOD EVENING! Hope everyone is enjoying a fine summer and the natural pyrotechnic show that has been going off here in LA for last week or so... Anyhoo, we have been recharging after 9 weeks of shows and finalizing the details on our full European tour which will be from late October to mid December... certainly looking forward to that. We are also excited to be playing the Soundwave Festival in Australia in Feb 2010 as well as a handful of shows in Japan and New Zealand... dates for both tours are posted now - more to come. Look out for the premiere of the "20 Minutes / 40 Years" video in the coming weeks, more news on that shortly. Lastly, keep your eyes out for the soon to be released fifth recording in our "Live" series, this one being the 2006 recording of the "Oceanic" album in full from London. We're serious this time, it is really going to come out soon. Really. OK till next time, CHIN CHIN - ISIS 5/5/2009 ISIS - "Wavering Radiant" out NOW! Our 5th studio album entitled "Wavering Radiant" is available now on CD, Vinyl, and MP3. Pick up your copy at our webstore. (http://www.bluecollardistro.com/isis/) also be sure to check the tour dates for an ISIS show near you in the next 6 weeks - See you soon - ISIS 4/14/2009 ISIS: Wavering Radiant Pre-Order is launched. CD, limited vinyl, and exclusive long sleeve, coffee mug, and slipmat available at our webstore (http://www.bluecollardistro.com/isis/) CHIN CHIN! - ISIS 3/30/2009 We had some pro video footage shot while in the studio working on "Wavering Radiant." We wanted to create a short "trailer" for the record. The footage is from the two studios we were working in, Sound City, and Joe's House Of Compression. The soundtrack was also done by us at home and in our rehearsal space. Stephen Borasch was behind the camera. We have a Vimeo ISIS video channel that we're working on HERE, and a Youtube ISIS video channel HERE Also we're working with Blue Collar Distro on a special limited ISIS "Wavering Radiant" pre-order package. The pre-order will include some limited ISIS gear as well as the record. More on that soon, just wanted to give you a heads up. Thanks! ISIS 3/22/2009 New Song On Myspace, US Tour, yada yada yada :: 3.22.09 The days seem to be flying by as we approach the release of our 5th studio album "Wavering Radiant." We've all been doing our thing, trying to get in some personal time before we all get into vans, or planes, and start our world tour. The first leg of touring will be here in the USA, we'll have the dates up in the next week or so. We can say that the tour will start May 14th in San Diego, and end somewhere around June 25th in Los Angeles. So that leaves plenty of time in between to cover most of the US and Canada. It's been a while since we've done a proper US tour so we're really excited! We've posted a song "20 Minutes / 40 Years" from "Wavering Radiant" on our Myspace music player. We feel this song is a good representation of the record. Our friend Matt Santoro is working on a video for this song which will be completed around the time of the records release. This is also the song we showcased on the ATP tour we did back in December. We hope you enjoy it. There's lots of "ear candy" in this one, so be sure to listen on some headphones - or, better yet, wait until the vinyl is released for full sonic enjoyment. (Some news about the European vinyl release on Conspiracy Records can found at www.http://conspiracyrecords.blogspot.com. Speaking of showcase, we will be heading to Japan next month to play a Daymare records celebration. We'll be sharing the stage with some great bands like SUNN 0))), BORIS, ENVY, and GROWING. It will be great to get back over to Japan and see Tadashi, Nambu San, Jumbo, and the rest of the crew as well as playing some of our new record live.   There's an interview here with Aaron Turner on MTV's Headbangers Blog talking about "Wavering Radiant" and his label super awesome label Hydra Head Records. There is now an official ISIS YouTube Channel (www.youtube.com/ClearingTheEye) which we will be updating from time to time. There's also a new (and useful) unofficial ISIS message board called "Swarm Relocation." Check it out. The gears are starting to turn again and there will be more exciting news and update / surprises coming to this site as well as our new official site that is being constructed as we speak. Thanks for all the kind and enthusiastic emails from all of you concerning our upcoming release and tour plans. We're excited to start the next cycle and see some old faces and places. Chin Chin! - ISIS   1/27/2009 ISIS - "Wavering Radiant" out May 5, 2009 Our 5th studio album entitled "Wavering Radiant" will be available on CD May 5th, 2009 (Ipecac).

We have returned from another terrific tour across the pond and are back in Pasadena finishing up the new songs and should be done before 2010. Speaking of the tour, we'd like to specifically give a big high five to the Melvins, Mike Patton, and the ATP masterminds for having us at what was one of the funnest all around fests EVER! Also thanks to TORCHE and Guapo for being awesome touring partners. PEACE!! New Releases from ISIS and the ISIS's :: 12.22.08 The newest in our LIVE series (featuring the OCEANIC record live from London) is off to the presses and should be ready to roll very soon. Both In The Absence Of Truth singles are out at last --- - Not In Rivers, But In Drops includes a live version, video, and remix of "Holy Tears." Purchase Here - Holy Tears includes a live version, video, and remix of "Not In Rivers, But In Drops." Also available on vinyl. Purchase Here There also some new music from each of us and it's all a little different... - Jeff brings the pork to the new Spylacopa EP. www.myspace.com/spylacopa - Mike has a new MGR split out. www.myspace.com/mgrsounds - Aaron Harris recorded and played drums on the new Zozobra cd. www.myspace.com/zozobra - Aaron Turner contributes to the new Mammifer record. www.myspace.com/zozobra - Taiga is Clifford's ambient solo music and there is a new limited LP. www.myspace.com/taigasongs ISIS Studio Video 1 Recording, Rock Shows, and Releases Part II :: 11.20.08 Well, so far, so good! We're a little over half way done tracking our new record. It's nice to hear the songs beginning to really come together. Everyone has been doing a great job and we think it's all going to make for one hell of a record. Working with Joe has been a really cool experience. He has a great ear, provides a very comfortable and creative environment, and seems to really understand what we're after. Decibel came by last week to do a studio report that we believe will be out in January 09, as well as an interview with Jeff in Rock Sound that should be out sometime soon. More pictures and videos to come as we have a few interesting things in the works. Speaking of "in the works," we'll have "Live V" CD available soon. This one will contain "Oceanic Live from ATP." We were hoping to release this as a live DVD, but we didn't feel the video footage was up to our standards. The audio on the other hand is a full multi-track recording of the entire Oceanic album live, mixed by Justin Broadrick. More on that soon! Only a couple more weeks until we take a break from the studio and head over to the UK for ATP Nightmare Before Christmas Festival hosted by MELVINS and MIKE PATTON. We're even staying an extra day to try and catch as much of the line up that we can. It's pretty killer! We'll also be taking advantage of our time over there by playing some of our own shows. Please check the show listings on the main page for more details. We'd also like to mention that Jeff "The Pork" Caxide contributes on two tracks of the new spylacopa ep. To listen go to: www.myspace.com/spylacopa. All in all, I think we can sum the whole thing up by saying we're pretty excited! A new president, a new record, a tour, a new live cd, and soon a new year and era in this thing called ISIS. We hope you're on board! CHIN CHIN! - ISIS 10/1/2008 Recording, Rock Shows, and Releases :: 10.01.08 Lots of things happening here as we close in on 2009... first and foremost being the fact that we are heading back into the studio in a few weeks to begin working on our fifth full-length album to be released via Ipecac Recordings (USA), Conspiracy Records (UK / EU), and Daymare (JP). We could not be luckier than to have the one and only Evil Joe Barresi to be at the engineering helm. Joe has recorded many of our favorite / loudest bands i.e. Melvins, Tool, Queens Of The Stone Age, Kyuss, etc. It's going to great to have him on board and can't wait to hear the results. We'll be attempting to keep some sort of weekly blog with updates and photos and whatever other shenanigans so stay tuned... October 14th will see the release of our newest single from "In The Absence Of Truth" for the song "Not In Rivers, But In Drops," and will also include a remix for "Holy Tears" by Thomas Dimuzio, a live version of "Not In Rivers, But In Drops" from our 2006 tour with TOOL, and a video for "Not In Rivers, But In Drops" by Sera Timms. Be sure to check it out. And as you can see below, we will be playing a handful of shows in the UK and the EU in conjunction with our performance at this year's ATP Night Before Christmas Festival hosted by MELVINS and MIKE PATTON. As the list of performers grows, so does our anticipation - it's going to be completely insane and not to be missed (much like tomorrow night's vice-presidential debate...)

PEACE - ISIS 11/7/2007 Here We Come Again ::: (11.07.07) Thanks again first of all to everyone who came to be a part of these shows with us on the east coast... we really had an amazing time. Between getting to see Oxbow again every night (who were on f'n fire), having the rare opportunity to play with Ayal and Maria from 27, watching Jim Clouds tossing his cookies on stage at the Middle East and celebrating a birthday on the same stage a half-hour later, the fun just didn't seem to end. Luckily it will continue in a few days when we make our way up the 5 to Seattle and see all our friends up north. We've just been informed that we will be one of the headliners at next spring's ROADBURN Festival in Tilburg, The Netherlands. Also performing will be Celtic Frost, Witchcraft, Electric Wizard, and many more. The fest is April 17 - 19, 2007, with ISIS performing on Friday the 18th. Many of you have been inquiring about the vinyl box set, ITAOT singles, and Oceanic DVD - They will all be out soon we promise! Vinyl Box set very soon (next month or so), singles kind of soon (february), and Oceanic DVD not so soon (late spring.) But we all know how fast time flies so it will seem like no time...

The show airs at 8:00 et on NBC and on their website probably. OK 10 shows left on this tour which continues to be f'n awesome so maybe we'll see ya there - peace - 3/14/2007 TOUR UPDATE 3/15/07...JESU IS HERE!!! ...and were amazing last night in NYC, and will certainly be slaying South By Southwest into a shoegazing frenzy! It is sadly very close to the time where Torche heads back to Florida, be sure to check them out as they are playing some shows along the way down the east coast. But we will be witnessing the live debut of Zozobra which we are all looking forward to.... Our UK / European tour schedule is very close to being sorted so we are also pretty psyched for that. OK Thanks again to everyone who have come out the shows, they have been unbelievable.... and everyone else, we'll see y'all soon PEACE - ISIS 3/10/2007 TOUR UPDATE 3/10/07... Well the US Embassy there in London has really screwed this up! Lets keep our fingers crossed that Jesu will be here in time for the NYC Irving Plaza show.... It really looks like it's going to happen. Obviously this sucks and is a big bummer, but half the tour would be better than none... Thanks to everyone who has come out so far, the shows have been awesome... we'll see everyone else soon - Peace - ISIS 2/22/2007 TOUR NEWS!!! Due to extremely unfortunate circumstances involving our wonderful country and certain "security" issues, JESU will be unable to perform the first 7 shows of our upcoming US Tour. Intronaut and Oxbow will round out the first three shows, while Intronaut and TORCHE will be performing the following shows... certainly not to be missed!

Thanks and see you soon - PEACE - ISIS 1/18/2007 Happy New Year!!! The US tour with Jesu is pretty much all booked except for one show, so hopefully we'll be in a lovely town near you beginning next month. Our European and UK dates are also almost sorted so keep checkin. We are excited to announce that we will be a part of two excellent ALL TOMORROW'S PARTY'S FESTIVALS playing with some incredible bands (Slint, Pelican, Built to Spill) Mark Dawursk (tour manager and all around swell guy) has posted some terrific photos he snapped throughout our tour with TOOL last fall - check them out here - MARK'S TOOL / ISIS PHOTO ALBUM 12/18/2006 Japan's INOXIA will be taking "In The Absence Of Truth" Daymare vinyl version pre-order from 2pm Wednesday 20th Japan Standard time (i.e; 9pm Tuesday 19th PST, 12am Wednesday 20th EST, 5am 20th in UK etc) Go to INOXIA: Go to "mail order list English" then "Daymare Recordings" page. Paper bag edition is just limited to 500 (250 clear, 250 red) and INOXIA has 300 for the international mailorder. Once they are all gone, standard colored vinyls are available. Apparently they are moving very fast though. 12/12/2006 MASSIVE ISIS VINYL UPDATE!! Hello Everyone.... We know some of you have been anxiously awaiting the vinyl version of "In The Absence Of Truth", and the wait is over...... sort of. The European pressing of ITAOT is finished and in circulation courtesy of Conspiracy Records, and we (ISIS) will have some copies of that version available through the webstore very soon. The US version of ITAOT being released via Robotic Empire, should hit stores in late january and may also be available through our webstore shortly before that. Both versions feature the same artwork, though slight alterations have been made to both, and the vinyl colors and labels are different as well. The same holds true for the forthcoming Japanese vinyl version of ITAOT, being released by the ever wonderful Daymare Recordings. The Daymare version will come housed in a paper bag (a la Led Zeppelin's "In Through The Out Door"), it will have a Japanese OBI/side strip, and unlike the US and European versions will be limited to only 1000 copies. Inoxia records will be hosting a preorder for the Japanese version on it's website, so stay tuned for updates on that. We will also be selling at least one of these versions on all of our upcoming tours. In other vinyl news, the 2xLP version of "Live III" is now available from the mighty Profound Lore label. Pressed in a one time edition of 700 copies, this set was pressed on white and clear vinyl in roughly equal amounts, i.e. approx 350 of each. We will most likely not be selling these through the webstore, but we will be bringing our copies on the road. Next up - the "Red Sea" redux - though originally pressed on 8" vinyl, "red sea" has now been rereleased as a 12" to include the original demo material omitted from the 8" version of that title. This record is out thanks to second nature recordings, and has been pressed on limited 180 gram black vinyl, as well as about 5 other colors. also just in is the vinyl version of our "In The Fishtank" collaboration with Aereogramme from the same label that released the CD version, that being Konkurrent from the Netherlands. We don't have exact pressing info on the fishtank LP, but we do know it's been pressed on blue and black vinyl, the blue vinyl is all sold out (minus the copies we'll be bringing on the road), and all future pressings will be black vinyl only. both the "Red Sea" 12" and the "Fishtank" LP are available or will be shortly from our webstore AND we'll be taking them on the road as well. Lastly, we'd like to mention future vinyl releases: "Live IV" 2xlp, "Oceanic" 2xlp repress, "Celestial" 2xlp repress, and a super huge vinyl box set, the contents of which we cannot yet divulge... vinyl fanatics beware.... peace the fuck out - ISIS 12/9/2006 "In The Absence Of Truth" is nominated for album of the year at Sonicfrontiers.com. To vote please go to THIS LINK. We appreciate your support. 12/6/2006 U.S. & A. TOUR 2007!!! We are very excited to announce dates for our upcoming U.S. Spring Tour which can be found posted on our SHOWS page. We are also looking forward to having JESU along for the whole trip, they are unbelievable, as are Torche of course, and Zozobra which is a recent project featuring some of our oldest friends from Cave-In... not to be missed. Please keep in mind that we will be filling in some of the gaps with a few more shows. OK keep warm and have a safe holiday time - PEACE - ISIS 12/3/2006 We're currently working on our tour plans and dates for the US and UK/Europe. As of now we have confirmed the Japanese, Australian and New Zealand dates below: Jan 29 2007 Club Quattro w/ Boris & These Arms Are Snakes Tokyo Jan 30 2007 Club Quattro w/ Boris & These Arms Are Snakes Nagoya Jan 31 2007 Club Quattro w/ Boris & These Arms Are Snakes Osaka Sat Feb 3 Metro w/ These Arms Are Snakes & Laura Sydney Sun Feb 4 Hi-Fi w/ These Arms Are Snakes & Laura Melbourne Tue Feb 6 Arena w/ These Arms Are Snakes & Laura Brisbane Wed Feb 7 Fowlers Live w/ These Arms Are Snakes & Laura Adelaide Thu Feb 8 Amplifier Bar w/ Eleventh He Reaches London & Maximum Perversion Perth Sat Feb 10 Kings Arms w/ Jakob Auckland NZ! TO ALL OUR CANADIAN FANS: We're very sorry about the mix up with the release of In Th Absence Of Truth up there. We've been getting a lot of emails from you guys about it and we very much appreciate your support. Apparently our Canadian distributor had a "supply and demand" issue that apparently restricted them from releasing "In The Absence Of Truth" on time. This seems very strange to us but unfortunately there's nothing we can do about it. They have said that it WILL be out Dec. 5th. Again thanks for your efforts in trying to get it and we apologize for the wait. We're working on new merch ideas for next years tours and some special releases as well. Can't wait to get on the road again. If we don't talk again before the holidays have a good one! ISIS 11/22/2006 Hey everybody... So we have posted our dates for our January jaunt thru Japan, this time with BORIS and These Arms Are Snakes... if your around the Japan area it would be great to see you at what should be some killer shows. You may have noticed we posted some Australian dates recently, a bit prematurely unfortunately... but no worries WILL be coming over following the JAPAN tour, we just had to sort a couple items and will be posting the official dates shortly. We also have our Spring US tour dates floating in, as soon as we know better we will be sure to let you know. OK have a safe weekend - peace - ISIS 11/1/2006 Oops, I uploaded all the picture WAY to big and had to re-size them. Sorry about that. I am dumb. They are up now so have a look if you like. They were taken by our good friend Chris Nelson while out with us on the TOOL tour. Enjoy. We know the site is moving slow but soon it will be up-to-date and totally sweet. Aaron H. 10/31/2006 WELCOME TO OUR NEW WEBSITE! So besides 2 new recordings and a DVD we have constructed a new website that will hopefully be a little easier to navigate and have some more info and offer some fun with ISIS which we all need more of. Speaking of new recordings, The new ISIS Album In The Absence Of Truth will be out on TUESDAY - October 31, 2006 (Ipecac) To celebrate we will be having a record release party on Monday Oct 30 at the Cha Cha in LA. We will be giving a few limited edition special copies of the new disc away at the beginning of the night a well as a raffle give away later in the evening for the late comers. We also have some "textile gifts" that we'll be handing out as well as selling some stuff for those who didn't receive the free goods. We will also be playing the record a few times through the Cha Cha's PA as well as some special DJ sets.... and perhaps a surprise host.... The Cha Cha is located at 2375 Glendale Blvd in Silver Lake (near the corner of Glendale and Silver Lake Blvd, across from the Red Lion). We plan on starting at 9pm and there is no cover or ticket needed to enter. You will need some money for the evenings $1.50 tap PBR special and the bar's foos ball tables and photo booth (there will be some damn good foos ball players there by the way). We WILL NOT be performing that evening just celebrating with good friends. So if you can come on down to see and hear what we've come up with. It's looking like it will be a pretty fun evening and if you haven't been to our favorite bar the Cha Cha yet you're really in for a treat! We also have a couple other new releases that are out now so check it out... The new ISIS DVD "Clearing The Eye" (Ipecac) And the ISIS / Aereogramme "In the Fishtank" CD (Konkurrent) We are also in the midst of sorting out our touring schedule for the new year which will include the good ol' US and A, Australia, Japan, the UK, and Europe. We're really lookin forward to seein all our friends again and havin a fun 2007... PEACE! - ISIS   Click here to listen to ISIS radio. ISIS Myspace Page
