In Absence Of Truth

In Absence Of Truth

With a musical trajectory that spans nearly a decade, ISIS has emerged from the frozen recesses of New England to become an internationally renowned force in underground music. Critically revered as the vanguard of "art metal," the band has consistently exploded the idiomatic strictures that have traditionally defined heavy music, with each new release expanding and improving upon the innovations of its predecessor. Produced and recorded with the utmost clarity and fidelity by longtime ISIS co-conspirator Matt Bayles at the Bomb Shelter in downtown Los Angeles, In The Absence Of Truth is a living, breathing panorama of soaring melodies, dizzying rhythmic ziggurats and seismic heaviness. In The Absence Of Truth is ISIS' first record in two years following the highly successful Panopticon (scanned 23K+, still scanning well over 100 a week) and 2002's Oceanic (scanned 21K+, still scanning close to 100 a week). Currently on tour with TOOL with a full national ISIS headlining tour in the works.
