Audiocratic 'Band of the Month' March '04Isor – ‘Post Mortem Peep Show’ This release, I have to say interested me greatly after hearing about this two piece ‘metalcore’ band, which consists of Dave Merricks on guitar & vocals while his other band member Nick Hemingway handles the sticks and sings backing vocals, a strange equation that in no doubt spells chaos, and chaos is the word exactly. From the moment the delicate melodic intro sets in, you know what’s coming and boy, do they deliver it. A harsh brand of extreme metalcore that really makes no logical sense coming from this two-man massacre army, who certainly do not take any prisoners. You will really not believe the pummelling brutality coming from what sounds like atleast a 5-piece band, but strangely isn’t. This band would compare to the likes of Botch, Converge and the finest of what some would call chaos-core, this band really do the genre justice through their sheer execution and great sense of brutal dynamics. Isor play just enough melodic parts to lure you into a full sense of security before unleashing a devastating awesome breakdown to really leave you on your arse, brutal to the core. The band have really proved themselves as a force to be reckoned with on this release, and have set a great benchmark for UK metalcore, releases like this make me proud to be a British metalcore fan, I urge you to support this band, totally awesome sound and easily the best release I have heard this year as yet.
