This is not a full length album, but merely an EP with actually one new song. On this EP we find this new song ‘Holy Tears’, in three different versions plus a remix from a different Isis song! I rather had a couple of new songs more, but they chose a different path. First version is the normal studio version of the song. It’s a typical Isis song, with a great build-up in the song. From moody, soft acoustic, atmospheric music, till a dosed eruption of pure energy and aggression. Pretty much in the same pace of their previous released album In The Absence Of Truth.

Second song is a remix from the Melvins/Lustmord project. The song called ‘Not In Rivers, But In Drops’ was previously released on the In The Absence Of Truth from 2006. The song has been treated with a lot of respect to its original version. It holds the same depressed, moody feel as the original song. The song is a bit more powerful, because of the intense drum-sound of Dale Crover and the typical bass lines of Big Business/Melvins bass-player. Brain Williams aka Lustmord weaves his noise, dark ambient structurally through the song, which gives it an even more dark eerie sound to it.

Third song is the live version of ‘Holy Tears’. The song has been recorded, when Isis did the support-act of Tool’s last American tour in 2006. The third version of ‘Holy Tears’ is the video-clip, which you can play on your computer. I would advice everyone, to first check out this version. The images of the clip give the song so much more power. I loved it! The images fit perfectly to the music. The clip deals about the death of one person and the birth of a new life. Seeing one person committing suicide through jumping of a building and seeing him flying through the air, gives the song another dimension and meaning. Beautiful!
