''In the Absence of Truth'' is the fourth full-length studio album by Los Angeles, California-based post-metal band Isis, released by Ipecac Recordings on 31 October 2006.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Isis )〕 Vinyl release was handled by Conspiracy Records.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = conspiracyrecords.com )〕 The album expands upon the group's previous full-length, ''Panopticon'', further exploring lead singer Aaron Turner's clean vocals (though his former techniques, which relied more on screaming and growling are still present as well). Musically, the album is dynamic, ranging from extended musical ambience to almost tribal drumming. Isis continued their lengthy songwriting; ''In The Absence of Truth'' is in fact Isis' longest record, at almost 65 minutes. ==Recording and release== Details regarding the album were sparse; completion of the album was announced via a blog post on 8 July 2006. While the record was in the writing and recording stages, some band members were based in New York and others in Los Angeles. Aaron Turner later confessed that the album "suffered" due to this situation. Jeff Caxide also felt discontent and dissatisfaction with the album, stating that ''In the Absence of Truth'' was “the kind of record I listen to and think ‘that could be better, and that could be better, and that could be better,’ and I think we all kind of felt that way”. Drummer Aaron Harris felt that the band pushed themselves too far musically, too; having learned a wealth of new techniques prior to its recording, he says he “grew so much as a drummer () that it was overwhelming even for me.” He continues: “I think I was trying to show off a little bit () I think everybody was.” The eventual record proved dissatisfactory, with him opining that “some of it sounded a bit jumbled. I think a lot of things were happening that we didn't know what to do with.” The release date was announced as 31 October 2006, shortly following the release of DVD ''Clearing the Eye'' and a collaboration with Aereogramme entitled ''In the Fishtank 14'', both of which were released in September. To promote the album, Isis supported Tool on a North American tour from August to September. Following the release, they went on a headlining tour of North America. In celebration of Isis' tenth anniversary,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Holy Tears - IPC95LP )〕 the tracks "Holy Tears" and "Not in Rivers, but in Drops" were each released in single format in February and October 2008, respectively.〔 Each release contains a live rendition of the title track, a remix, and a music video. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「In the Absence of Truth」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
