Hello and Happy New Year. We hope it's off to a great start for everyone. We have a few things in the works that we'd like to talk about. Some of you may have seen our Facebook post about a new release in the works. As some of you have guessed this is Live VI. It will be released digitally on Feb 14, 2012 and on limited vinyl through our web-store soon after. This is a multi track recording from our 10 year anniversary tour. It was performed at the Hawthorne Theater in Portland, OR in 2007. The sound quality is superb as it was recorded and mixed by Aaron Harris, and mastered by James Plotkin. The track listing for Live VI is:
1. Hive Destruction
2. So Did We
3. Not In Rivers, But In Drops
4. Gentle Time
5. In Fiction
6. Holy Tears
7. Weight (featuring Ayal and Maria from 27)
8. Red Sea
9. Carry (featuring Maria from 27)
You can pre order Live VI on iTunes, and listen to track previews by going here itunes.apple.com/us/preorder/live-vi-11-16-2007/id498322399
Also we are compiling some material for a new CD of B-sides, demos, alternate versions, and other unreleased tracks, AND a DVD containing all of our videos in HD, along with an unreleased video for the track "Pliable Foe" previously released on our split 12" with the Melvins.
Peace - ISIS

¡Merry New Year!
Aloha. We hope your 2011 is off to a bright start - surely a rare update on the continuing activities of your favorite classic rock band ISIS will only add to the excitement of the new year.
February 1st will see the (re)release of our second album "Oceanic" on vinyl thanks to our pals at Robotic Empire. The double - LP comes housed in a heavyweight tip-on gatefold jacket and has been remastered and recut for optimal sound quality.
We have finally created an "official" facebook page. You can check it out here. We're also diligently trying to finish up a couple other "new" releases. More news about that on the facebook page for sure.
We've all been pretty busy on our own various projects, bands, and other tangents -
Mamiffer and House Of Low Culture have some new releases available: Oakeater split LP and Mamiffer / House Of Low Culture split LP/CD. Both LP's are available from SIGE Records and the CD available from Utech Records . Mamiffer will be appearing at this years Roadburn Festival while on a spring tour of Europe in April. Aside from the festival they'll also be performing with the likes of Pharoah Overloard, Aluk Todolo, House Of Low Culture, Black Math Horsemen, and Menace Ruine in various cities / countries. The tour will be in support of their new album "Mare Decendrii" coming out on March 15.
"Windmills By The Ocean II" will also be released on February 1st by Robotic Empire. Clifford Meyer and company will be playing a few New England shows in the spring to celebrate, stay up to date through their facebook page. Taiga, Clifford's ambient kraut psycho solo project, recently released "Taiga II - Flora Chor" on Conspiracy Records. Perhaps 2011 will also bring a live Taiga performance or two.
Michael Gallagher has a new MGR release out - the soundtrack to the Belgian film "The 22nd Of May." More info can be found here: http://www.conspiracyrecords.com/store/store_detail.php?id=9952. Work has also begun on a new MGR album.
From the mixing desk of Aaron Harris:
"Post ISIS, I've teamed up with my friend and fellow recording engineer Justin Hopfer. Together we have started a recording / producing team. We recently mixed and mastered a record for Willeum, a two-piece from Saskatchewan, Canada. you can hear the songs "Legends" and "Torrential" from their forthcoming record here: www.facebook.com/WilleumBand. Justin and I also just finished tracking Lesser Key's first full-length record; the St. Louis-based band previously released an EP recorded and mixed by Sylvia Massey entitled "Parallels." Justin and I start mixing the record in February. Meantime, I will be joining Tool on their upcoming tour as Danny Carey's drum tech. The first show will be in Hawaii, then on to New Zealand and Australia for the Big Day Out festival, as well as a few side shows. I'm honored and excited to be a part of this tour and equally excited to see our friends Jakob, who'll be opening a few Tool side-shows in Australia. Speaking of Jakob, they've asked me to record their next recordm which they are currently writing new material for. Hopefully tracking will start in the fall of this year. If you'd like to get in touch with me about recording / mixing, or if you want to read more about what i've been up to, all of my info is available on my website: www.cargocollective.com/AaronHarris."
Graçias!

FALL ACTIVITIES
Hello Folks,
Here's some current news about various topics related to ISIS and its members:
As some of you may know Mike Gallagher's MGR project recently completed a score for a movie called "22nd of May". The film just premiered at the Toronto Independent Film Festival were it did well. The movie has a website, which you can visit here , and Conspiracy records will be releasing the soundtrack in the not too distant future.
Aaron Harris has a new website focusing on his various activities which includes news, bio, discography, etc. You can visit it here for regular updates on all of Aaron's musical endeavors including the projects he's lending his drum skills to as well as any recording activities. Aaron is also currently starting to comb through many of our recent live recordings, both audio and video so we can all figure out what final materials of this variety we'd like to let out into the public domain. What form these materials will take is another matter, but there'll be more on that later.
Aaron Turner has a new webstore which offers a variety of items, including albums Turner has played or designed covers for. You can visit that here. Due out in November on SIGE records is a split LP by Mamiffer and House of Low Culture. The HOLC track is the first new studio recording from Turner's long running project in some years now, but will be followed by several other releases by the band over the course of the next year or so.
Bryant Clifford Meyer is currently on tour in Europe and the UK with Red Sparowes in support of their newest record, The Fear Is Excruciating, But Therein Lies The Answer. For tour dates etc. go here. There is also a brand new Taiga LP out on Conspiracy Records entitled "Taiga II - Flora Chor." For more info on this krauty ambient full-length and to purchase the vinyl with free digital download go here. It is also available via iTunes here.

ISIS' "Oceanic" album has been unavailable on vinyl for some time now, but thanks to the good folks at Robotic Empire it will soon be available again. The album has been re-mastered/re-cut for this edition of the vinyl and hopefully will sound better than ever as a result. We don't have an exact release date for this yet, but will post more on the matter as soon as we do.

SUMMER UPDATES - getting married, making music, etc....
Hello all - just a few quick updates here on what various members of ISIS are currently up to...
First off, Aaron Harris is getting married to Alexandra LeTellier on August 14th - best wishes and big congratulations to both of them!
Bryant Clifford Meyer will be on tour with his other "instru-metal" outfit Red Sparowes doing a 2 weeks of west coast shows with the mighty Boris soon, as well as a full headlining tour in the fall. More info can be found here.
Clifford also has a new Taiga LP coming out in September via Conspiracy Records called Taiga II - "Flora Chor." More info on this krauty ambient key-tar masterpiece can be found at here.
Last september Mamiffer began tracking material for a new album, and finally after almost a year of on-and-off work it is nearly complete and ready for release. outside of the core members (Faith coloccia and aaron turner) the album includes numerous contributions from a large cast of people starting with randall dunn who produced and engineered the album with assistance from mell dettmer. other folks whocontributed their time and talents include: don mcgreevy (master musicians of bukkake, ex-earth), eyvind kang, travis rommereim, joe preston (thrones, etc), sera timms (black math horseman), jussi lehtisalo and mika ratto (circle), aaron harris (isis), jessika kenney, parvaneh daneshvar, timba harris (secret chiefs 3), brian cook (these arms are snakes, botch), and moriah neils. there's no set release date or title for the album yet, but as all the pieces come together we'll make the information available. in the meantime the mamiffer/oakeater and mamiffer/house of low culture splits are in the works and should be out in october/november on vinyl via SIGE (with a CD version of the HOLC split on utech).
all for now. stayed tuned for more updates on the future/final isis releases and related projects....
