any less from ISIS? Just skip to 'Dulcinea' for a perfect example of their now perfectly honed prog metal hybrid as rolling metal kick drums underpin echoing guitars and emotive vocals, then of course, mid way through we get a burst of life before the track breaks down into a sea of ambience and atmosphere. This is a band that manage to condense more ideas into eight minutes than most manage over the course of a career and it's a pleasure to hear them at work. If you're a paid up ISIS follower then 'In the Absence of Truth' is going to be even more reason to salivate over their very mention, and if you've never stumbled across the band before now might be just the right time to start. Heavy duty, in every sense.
