It seems crazy to think about, but 2015 marks five years since Isis called it quits, leaving the metal world without one of its most important and influential bands. Just as crazy to think about is that post-metal as a genre is doing at least as well now as it was when the world lost Isis. Part of that is due to the members of the band pursuing other projects with the same insane level of talent they brought to Isis; another is a new wave of post-metal bands following in Isis' wake. Pelican continues to defy expectations and improve on every album they release, and I've written before about my love for Cold Blue Mountain and
their phenomenal 2014 album Old Blood. Now another disciple has stepped forward to spread the good word, in the form of Brampton, Ontario's Sarin, and their new album
Burial Dream.
