Isis – Temporal
Isis – Temporal CD (Ipecac)
Fourteen unreleased, rare or remixed songs over two CDs and a DVD of official vids to boot. Isis helped to define the kind of experimental eclectic ‘metal’ pioneered by Neurosis, and now the domain of Baroness, Old Man Gloom and Capricorns; with expansive musical pieces running the gamut of Psychedelic Space Rock, Ambient Stoner grooves, Prog, Goth and Metal. It’s easy to lose yourself in Isis; indeed I literally lost track of time while listening to this album, such is the hypnotic beauty of the music. Includes covers of Godflesh’ ‘Streetcleaner’ and Sabbath’s ‘Hand of Doom’. Essential. Ian Pickens
