Fomos
todos apanhados de surpresa quando, em 2010, os Isis resolveram colocar um
ponto final na sua carreira, pouco tempo depois do lançamento de um bem
sucedido 'Wavering The Radiant', que sucedia a colossos como 'Celestial',
'Oceanic' ou 'In The Absence Of Truth', definidores das linhas-mestras de um
género que se vulgarizou sob o nome de post-metal.
Pois
bem, os órfãos andaram a lamber as feridas durante um longo tempo, chorando
baba e ranho, mas ao mesmo tempo refugiando-se nos inspiradores e nos
sucedâneos, um conforto agora reforçado com novos lançamentos dos Neurosis e
Amenra, respectivamente.
'Temporal'
vem mostrar que os Isis não devem ser esquecidos, não podem ser tomados por um
qualquer epi-fenómeno que após o seu ocaso é varrido das mentes como um simples
delete. Os 14 temas que compõem esta
compilação (pois, longe está de ser um mero best
of, na sua linha mais redutora), trazem demos, remixes, inéditos e outros
menos acessíveis até agora (para além de um DVD com a sua videografia), que, à
primeira vista, parecem desgarrados, mas numa análise um pouco mais atenta
demonstra um conjunto bastante interessante para os seguidores da banda e um
excelente cartão de visita para aqueles que, só agora, tomem contacto com a
banda. As demos, com as suas alterações face às versões finais, ouça-se 'Ghost
Key' aqui sem voz ou então 'Carry' com diferentes linhas de guitarra, serão
porventura o prato menos aliciante. No entanto, o destaque da primeira rodela
vai para a imensa 'Grey Divide', 16 minutos pontuados por uma batida seca,
sobre a qual as guitarras crescem, desfiando melodias que nos envolvem;
descansam ali pelo meio, qual canção de embalar e regressam, sublimes; os
trunfos não tinham sido todos jogados.
Na
segunda metade deste lançamento, 'Streetcleaner', dos Godflesh e 'Hand of
Doom', dos Black Sabbath, demonstram a amplitude de referências musicais
trazidas para o seio do colectivo. Dois temas que viram a luz do dia ainda no
final da década de 90, mas bastante competentes e com o devido tratamento
Isis-iano. As remixes não trazem nada de novo ou empolgante e 'Temporal' está
na linha da lavra de Aaron Turner e Co.. A recta final com 'Way Through Woven
Branches', 'The Pliable Foe', resultantes da recente investida com os Melvins,
e a versão acústica de '20 Minutes/40 Years', encerra da melhor forma estas
quase duas horas de música, com belíssimos momentos, agradáveis surpresas e a
certeza que o mundo ainda precisa dos Isis. (16.5/20)

We were all caught by surprise when, in 2010, Isis decided to put an end to their career, shortly after the release of a successful 'Wavering Radiant', successor of giants like 'Celestial', 'Oceanic' or 'In The Absence Of Truth', albums that defined the main lines of a musical style which is popularized under the name of post-metal.
Well, the orphans passed a long time licking their wounds, crying snot and drool, but at the same time taking refuge in inspiring and substitutes, a comfort now enhanced with new releases of Neurosis and Amenra, respectively.
'Temporal' comes to show that Isis should not be forgotten, cannot be analysed as an epiphenomenon which is swept away from our minds after its demise as a simple delete. These 14 songs that make up this compilation (far from being merely a best of, in its most simplistic line), are demos, remixes, unreleased tracks and other less accessible songs until now (plus a DVD with their videography) that, at first glimpse, seem strayed, but a slightly more careful analysis shows a fairly interesting one for followers of the band and a great card for those who only now take contact with the band. The demos, with their changes faced to the final versions, listen up 'Ghost Key' here without voice or 'Carry' with different guitar lines, probably are the less interesting point. However, the highlight of the first disc goes for the immense 'Grey Divide', 16 minutes punctuated by a solid rhythm but simple, on which the guitars grow, unravelling melodies that wrap us; they rest after a few minutes, turning into a sweet lullaby and then returns, sublime; the assets were not all played.
In the second half of this release, 'Streetcleaner' of Godflesh and 'Hand of Doom', from Black Sabbath’s classic ‘Paranoid’, demonstrates the breadth of musical references brought into the bosom of the collective. This two covers have seen the light of day in the late-90s, but are really quite competent and took the proper treatment to fit on Isis sound. The remixes do not bring anything new or exciting and 'Temporal' is in the action line of Aaron Turner and Co...The final stretch with "Way Through Woven Branches ',' The Pliable Foe ', resulting from the recent onslaught with the Melvins, and the acoustic version of '20 Minutes/40 Years', closes with gold these nearly two hours of music, with beautiful moments, pleasant surprises and the certainty that the world still needs Isis.
