About ISTHMUS (ALBUM FINISHED)
Isthmus is a progressive metal band from Baltimore, MD. The now four-piece group was formed in 2005 by guitarist/vocalist Noel Mueller, and drummer Chris May. Guitarist Matt Hogans and bassist Joe Kienle completed the band in the summer of 2007. Among other attempts at description, they have been called "progressive post-metal" and compared to rock pioneers King Crimson, Yes, and Magma as well as recent acts, Isis, The Mars Volta, Dysrhythmia and Neurosis.
Aside from being detailed and relatively moody, Isthmus’ songs combine elements of melodic post-rock, bone-crushing sludge and progressive metal into an undeniably original style.RARE FOOTAGE OF ISTHMUS AT THE OTTOBAR
"On Of Crimson Clouds In Nectaris Milk, Isthmus dynamically combine technical and compositional skills with the ability to create emotion through music, as most songs are very sparse on lyrics. The huge sound of "Imbrium/Sea/Swell" takes over ten minutes to tell it's tale, ominously chugging its way through sludge and doom with melodious intrigue. The follow-up title track noodles with some jazz measures and a lyrical stanza harking back to a horror tale ending with a warning of blood. As Crimson's three songs swell and shrink from booming, cavernous low-ends to delicate, sparkling melodies, a change takes place as the music takes hold of the listener's conscience and carries it to a timeless, murky alternate reality where songs that survive longer than ten minutes are the norm."
