Voice in the Silence EP out now

post prog rock, NRW //  Germany

dan mueller - vocals, guitars
philipp maike - guitars, vocals
stefan huth - touchguitars
michel schallenberg - drums

A menacing atmosphere rises when intense emotions collide with cold, analytic reason. This extreme tension is musically caught by ISAAC VACUUM. Technically sophisticated progressive-rock meets a heavy, sludgy and organic sound, which is - due to a focus on catchy harmony-vocals - still plausible despite dark complexity.

The opening-phrase “meet me in the light” serves as the band’s key to their 2015 debut, which opens the portal to this all new post prog rock world. 

Although the german-based band is still in early stages, the group consists of four experienced musicians, each with a remarkable background. The two guitarists Dan Mueller and Philipp Maike - they've been playing together for years in other bands and projects – have been breeding raw, smacking guitarsounds, levitating dissonances and polyphonic melodies. 

The technical counterpart is highly-skilled drummer Michel Schallenberg, who, thanks to a wide stylistic range, knows how to perfectly place emphasis on progressive elements. The line-up is completed by Stefan Huth on touchguitars and moog-synth which defines the tonal difference when it comes to comparisons to other bands of any genre.

On August 3rd the 20-minute-EP will be released worldwide in all relevant online-stores and streaming platforms.
