Before attaining Celestial heights, Isis plumbed the deepest and densest of musical depths with The Red Sea. Punishing and unrelenting, The Red Sea marked a new chapter in Isis’ mosquito-driven, conceptual universe. Incorporating nods to both vintage Earth and the Melvins, it was the two new “song” offerings that marked Isis’ growth beyond that of mere comparisons and demonstrated the grandeur of what was to follow.
This limited collector’s edition of The Red Sea was created in celebration of Isis’ first decade of making music. Originally released in 1999 through two limited pressings of 8” vinyl, this 12” version features Isis’ 1998, four-song demo on the B-side. Packaged in a hand screened jacket with insert, with gold foil stamping throughout, right down to the labels.
