Since forming in 1999, Isor principle song writers Dave Merricks & Nick Hemingway have continued to develop their sound with each successive CD redefining the bands musical identity within the UK..s contemporary Metalcore scene.
ISOR originally a 3 piece, have previously recorded a total of 3 EP..s sold via their website, the last being their six-track CD, Nought to Sixty in Twenty Seven Feet. It achieved the 'Featured CD' slot on MP3.com with one of the tracks from the CD, reaching number 1 in the European MP3.com Metalcore chart whilst simultaneously gaining media & music Industry interest.
2003 witnessed the final metamorphosis of the bands line-up with founder members Dave Merricks & Nick Hemingway making the brave decision to write & perform solely as a duo.
2004 The band signed to Casket music (Earthtone9, Snub, Vacant Stare, Medulla Nocte, The Blueprint, Fony & Panic Cell.) and released their Debut Album “Post Mortem Peep Show” Worldwide on the 24th of Feb 2004
21st of July 2008 brings the release of their second Album ‘The Zebra Theory’ released worldwide through Caskets larger sister label ‘Copro Records’
The duos material breaks new ground with an exiting fusion of musical textures blended with the intensity of math-core. Each song contains diverse changes in style, tempo & signature thus setting the band apart from many of their peers.
Their music typifies the duos interpretation of modern life, the bizarre twists illustrate common paranoia found in today’s society born with the frustration of inevitable conflict & deceit. The intensity of vocal performance brutal guitar riffage & relentless percussion drive the songs to another level of insanity resulting in the listener finding it hard to believe that the mayhem unleashed has been produced by only two people.

ISOR's debut album 'Post Mortem Peep Show' is receiving rave industry reviews, gaining such comments as :
"England’s ISOR has made an album that restores my faith in the metal/hardcore genre.", "I haven’t heard an album this creative in a long time. ISOR has only two members, but what these guys lack in numbers, they make up in sheer brutality. This album has to be the musical equivalent of being beaten with pool sticks and then set on fire.", "Nothing is overdone, and nothing is underplayed.", "I sincerely hope this is the future of metal/hardcore. There is literally something for everyone here...", "This album is superb, and I don’t think there is a single song that is weak. ISOR has found the perfect blend of everything that is fun and angry about metal and hardcore alike. If you happen to be a fan of Drowningman, Deadguy, Converge, and the Dillinger Escape Plan, then you'll want to hear this album." - [85] Lambgoat - (USA)

"...undoubtedly one of the most exciting metalcore debuts in recent times." [4/5] I ATE YOUR MICROPHONE - (USA)

Described as: 'like Soulfly if Trent Reznor were part of the band,' their debut album "There's No Profit in Truth", mixes the pent up frustration of acts such as Rage Against The Machine with the raging, highly charged riffs of classic Machine Head. Good, honest, politically aware and highly charged Metal at its best...
Did you have a break after Peep Show..? I thought you were dead bastards!! Can't explain how great it feels to see you guys back again shredding some beautiful tunes :) Cheers & good luck Utku/ Sonic Splendour magazine
