Ranking songs here: Relocation Swarm > Life Under The Swatter > Poison Eggs > Hive Destruction



Relocation Swarm's first riff fucks life, absolutely crushing

The first couple of seconds on Life Under The Swatter reminds me to Converge for some reason

Yeah, I love how raw this EP is. Wonder how this band would turn out if they continued with this direction

For Turner, I would think, Sumac is kinda where he would have taken Isis and a spiritual follow up of this and Red Sea. Still think Sumac is nowhere close to Isis. For me this band is the best of their respective genre (yes even better than Neurosis for me).

"The recording of this album was a lot of fun as I recall, and rendered results which felt just about right at the time. We wanted to make something less dense than Celestial, with more of an emphasis on texture and melody. The cohesion of the songs as a set was also really important for us, and while that had been a goal with Celestial–as it was with future albums–I still feel like this may have been our greatest success in that sense."

That's from an old interview, before Turner openly expressed his dislike for both ITAOT and Wavering...

Pretty sure he stated at some point that he would have finished Isis at Panopticon. Judging from his current work I think it's clear he wanted to continue with the heavier dissonant stuff from early Isis. Oh well.

I mean, i wouldn't blame him, listen to first couple of seconds from Relocation Swarm, so god damn crushing

I wasn't that crazy about Wavering Radiant when it came out, even when the band announced they would break up. With years, though, it has become one of my favorite ISIS albums (probs second to Panopticon) and just one of my favs of all time. They couldn't finish on a higher note tbh



Don't get me wrong, though, I absolutely love both Mosquito Control and Celestial. But Sumac (even though I liked the first two albums) can't match the intensity of this.

Oh yeah, Recolation Swarm is massive. It's probably my favorite... or at least tied with Poison Eggs. Hive Destruction goes next. But really these 4 songs are incredible. If only Red Sea was as good as this :/

Glad to see this getting bumps! I have yet to try to revisit their later material but this thing is the jam and will remain the jam. Really wish they had more stuff in this vein tbh
