ISIS Live Shows Plus Singles Releases And Remixes

Veteran sludge-metal band, ISIS, is preparing for a few live shows in November, still celebrating their 10th anniversary of creating heavy music together. The band is trying to share the celebrations with fans and their fans are jumping at the extra opportunities to see them play live. Opening for ISIS is another veteran metal band, longtime friends and collaborators of ISIS: 27. ISIS and 27 will be joined at different shows by different bands, including Oxbow, Big Business, and These Arms Are Snakes. In addition to the handful of live shows, ISIS will be widely releasing a few singles from their 2006 album, In The Absence of Truth. "Holy Tears" will release on Ipecac November 21st and features a live version of the song, recorded during the tour with Tool last year. The "Holy Tears" single will also come with a video for the song that was directed by Dominic Hailstone! Movie buffs will recognize his name from Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone and I expect that an ISIS video with this man is nearly as epic! One more thing this album ships with - a remix of “Not in Rivers, But In Drops” by label mates The Melvins and dark, experimental artist Lustmord! To be honest, I wasn't much of a fan of the Absence album, but these last two remixes sound like they could be seriously wicked! Of course, Pitchfork and Blender loved the album, so what would I know? ;) "Not In Rivers, But In Drops" is also from In The Absence of Truth, and will also be released as it's own singles package in January 2008. No word on what will accompany that release yet. Perhaps the remixes again?ISIS Fall Tour:November 1 New York, NY Irving Plaza with Oxbow & 272 Philadelphia, PA Trocadero with Oxbow & 273 Boston, MA The Middle East with Oxbow & 274 Boston, MA The Middle East with Clouds & 27 14 Seattle, WA Neumo’s with These Arms Are Snakes & 2715 Vancouver, BC Richards on Richards with These Arms Are Snakes & 2716 Portland, OR Hawthorne Theatre with 2718 San Francisco, CA Slim’s with Big Business & 2720 Los Angeles, CA The Troubadour with Big Business & 27http://www.myspace.com/sgnl05http://www.isistheband.com/
