Album Notes & Community Reviews

'Celestial' lays the incredibly heavy, dense foundation for Isis's atmospheric post-metal evolution. The album relies on punishing, raw sludge metal riffs, aggressive hardcore vocals, and dark, looming ambient noise to construct a suffocating sonic environment.

Genres

Descriptors: noisy, sludgy, droning, punishing, monolithic
