Biography
Gävle, Sweden (1990 – present)
Isole started up under the name Forlorn back in 1990 with two sole members Crister and Daniel. Some demo tapes were recorded under the 90’s. Then the band went into hibernation a couple of years mostly because troubles with members quitting or living elsewhere. In 2003 record label I Hate Records contacted them and wanted to sign Forlorn, and we wanted a fresh start after the hibernation and changed name to Isole. A debut album “Forevermore” was released in early 2005 and was followed up with a 7” “The Beyond” in the beginning of 2006. The second album “Throne Of Void” with a little bit darker sound than the critically acclaimed debut “Forevermore” and was released summer 2006. In 2008 they released the utterly slow and mournful “Bliss of Solitude”. “Silent Ruins”, out February 2009, is their second album released by napalm records. “Silent Ruins”, continues to forge forth in the tradition of the previous albums. The swedes once again indulge in their heart-sickened and somber brand of doom metal that only finds solace in a perfectly placed portion of deadly black epic. Profound compositions, hypnotic arrangements, and heavy flowing riffs, that not unlike molten lava slowly yet inexorably pull the listener down into its depths, are the core elements comprising this album.

Last album is bad and they should feel bad. EDIT: Maybe it is not that bad after all. I have to think about it. But for sure, it is not a catchy record.

So good. I don't know why there are so little listeners. These guys need better promotion.

I cannot stress enough how epic this band is, and I am not one of those persons who uses the word 'epic' too much. While some doom bands make you feel more down and melancholic, Isole gives me sheer power.

A friend of mine would like to get a best-of Isole. I'd like to choose 2 songs by albums. Which ones would you select? I already made some choices, but i am curious about what could be yours. Thanks!

Best epic doom album this year.

Epic doom metal should sound like Isole.

I guess I should just listen to this band, but I'll beg the question: what "should" epic doom metal sound like? If it's more 'Marcolin-era' Candlemass posturing I definitely won't be that interested.
