Isis is a Los Angeles, California-based metal band that has borrowed and helped to evolve a sound pioneered by the likes of Neurosis and Godflesh. Their music can be described as consisting of lengthy songs that focus heavily on repetition. Because of this and the fact that they tend to bury the vocals, the band's music is moreso a collection of musical pieces (as opposed to vocal-driven radio songs).

Isis formed in 1997 and released records on such labels as Escape Artist, Second Nature and Neurot Recordings. Since the release of the album Oceanic, the band have released their work on Ipecac Recordings, which is run by infamous former Faith No More bandleader Mike Patton.
