They are currently in the studio re-recording their debut album 'Post Mortem Peep Show' for a release on Brutal Elite Records which will be titled 'Revisiting The Peep Show' and will feature 3 new bonus tracks along with re-recorded versions of the other 10 tracks taken from 'Post Mortem Peep Show'
ISOR appeared on numerous Magazine Cover CD's including Metal Hammer, Terrorizer & Rocksound

ISOR have received massive critical acclaim gaining such comments as:-
"England’s ISOR has made an album that restores my faith in the metal/hardcore genre.", "I haven’t heard an album this creative in a long time. ISOR has only two members, but what these guys lack in numbers, they make up in sheer brutality. This album has to be the musical equivalent of being beaten with pool sticks and then set on fire.", "Nothing is overdone, and nothing is underplayed.", "I sincerely hope this is the future of metal/hardcore. There is literally something for everyone here...", "This album is superb, and I don’t think there is a single song that is weak. ISOR has found the perfect blend of everything that is fun and angry about metal and hardcore alike. If you happen to be a fan of Drowningman, Deadguy, Converge, and the Dillinger Escape Plan, then you'll want to hear this album." - [85] Lambgoat - (USA)
