Isis - Temporal

Though their legacy physically ending with their dissolving a couple years back, Isis’ contributions to the metal genre are examined and re-visited in a new compilation of sorts by the name of Temporal. The two-disc collection goes way back into the band’s early days in terms of demos and rarities, while also providing some alternative takes on some particular songs. Though perhaps not as an immediate draw for everyone, Temporal is a strong posthumous effort that doesn’t hold back in terms of content.

With fourteen tracks and nearly two hours worth of material to delve into, Temporal is no half-assed compilation – it is more than able to please your search for more material as an Isis fan. The first disc is comprised of demos ranging from the subdued tension of “Ghost Key” to the groove heavy moments of tracks like “Threshold of Transformation” and “False Light”. While it might be tough for someone outside of the fandom to appreciate the subtle or not so subtle differences between the demos and the actual versions, these tracks in particular pack enough of a punch that you’d be damned to decide if they weren’t the real version anyways.
