Isis / Oceanic

Robotic Empire

The defining Isis album, now that it’s all said and done, Oceanic finally returns to vinyl after being out of print for years. Showcasing a band at the height of a monumental transition, Oceanic is hailed by fans as the band’s landmark album and has earned widespread critical acclaim (even being dubbed “seminal” by Drowned in Sound). Raising the massive bridge between crushing metal and atmospheric post-rock, Isis truly came into their own on their brilliant sophomore album. This stunning double-LP comes housed in a heavyweight tip-on gatefold jacket and has been carefully re-mastered and re-cut for optimal sound quality.  “Isis is one of the few heavy metal bands recording without regard for convention, and [...] few have succeeded in such breathtaking fashion.” —Chris Ott, Pitchfork (9.1 rating)
