Isis: Celestial Reissue Coming July 9 on Ipecac
It’s a short list of albums released in this young century that have been more influential in the heavy underground than Isis‘ Celestial. As spent as the post-metal breadth can seem at times, the band — who were then based in Boston and are now defunct — cast a wide net with their first three albums and their slew of EPs, live albums, and a lot of bands got caught up in it.
I didn’t know Celestial was out of print, I guess I hadn’t really thought about it, but with more than a decade past since its release and some apparent scarcity in the physical realm, it’s probably worth getting it back out there to be appreciated all over again.
Celestial is out July 9 on Ipecac. The PR wire has details:
