Isis (also stylised as ISIS) was a American metal band made in Boston, Massachusetts in the year 1997 by guitar player and singer Aaron Turner, bass player Jeff Caxide, singer and instrument tuner Chris Mereschuk and drum player Aaron Harris. After the album Mosquito Control were recorded by the original band, Chris was replaced by Jay Randall in the year 1999, who joined the group with guitar player Michael Gallagher. Jay Randall would then be replaced with guitar player and piano player Bryant Clifford Meyer after the recording of the album Red Sea. The band took inspiration from other bands such as Neurosis and Godflesh, and making themselves distinct by repeating parts of the song. Isis disbanded in June of 2010 but came back one last time in 2018 to pay their farewells to Caleb Scofield.
