ISIS To Release Five Posthumous Live Albums



We reported one year ago that popular post-metal band ISIS parted ways and likewise gave tour dates for the band's final farewell tour. For those who weren't able to get the band work on their final tour, or any turn for that matter, you will soon get a prospect to add a bit of live performances by the isthmus to your digital music collection.

Throughout the summer, ISIS will be banking on the fact that their enduring popularity is big enough to trade music a twelvemonth later the band's break up. Beginning with an EP containing four songs taken from a 2003 performance at The Fillmore in San Francisco, the accumulation of live albums will span five different releases with the final installment arriving on July 26th of this year.


If you've been curious as to where the boys of ISIS have been keeping themselves over the preceding year, we give the low down. Jeff Caxide has formed CRONE with a departure from his new project expected in the close future, Clifford Meyer has kept busy working with Red Sparowes, Taiga and Windmills By The Ocean, Aaron Harris is settling into a producers roll and Aaron Turner has continued to form with the ultra talented Faith Coloccia and her Mamiffer project as good as working with the House of Low Culture.

If you'd rather revisit the preceding sound of ISIS rather than explore the band's newest endeavors, the first live EP will see the fall of the web on May 31st. All five live albums can be purchased and pre-ordered at the band's still active website, http://www.isistheband.com. You can fit out the details on each upcoming posthumous live album below.
