I don't know their music very well but I'm always surprised by how heavy they were. Just a few days ago I heard some song by them on a local independent radio station and I was, again, shocked by how much the singer was screaming. It was definitely the most extreme vocal delivery of any rock band I know from their period

Um .. Holy Fuck.
Isis disbanding? I hadn't heard this and I'm deeply saddened by this news. They're one of my favorite bands - let alone metal. Certainly Aaron Turner and other members will continue to make music but I have a really, really soft spot for Isis.
shit
