By now all of you should know who Isis is and what to expect from them in terms of their music output. A good number of you are probably familiar with Aereogramme - for those of you not, they're a Scottish band that mixes punishing metal with melodic moments and alt-rock vocals. So what's the deal with this In the Fishtank album? Well the series is actually a really intriguing idea curated by Konkurrent Records in which they invite �musicians to whom they feel [are] strongly related to record. They are given two days studio time and freedom to do whatever they like musically.� The collaboration between Isis and Aereogramme is the fourteenth volume in the series.

Where both bands are known for their love of metal and post-hardcore next to experiment and a spheric approach, they not only show these skills here, but on top they reach an impressively high level of purity, roominess and emotion. It�s the analog warmth that makes the songs tender, organic, imminent and fragile.
