“ISUA acknowledges the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation as the Traditional Owners of the land on which we operate.”

ISUA’s new EP marks their third release and their most punishing yet. Building on the bleak foundations of their previous material, the band pushes further into a dense, abrasive sound defined by crushing riffs, cavernous low end, and vocals steeped in raw emotional fury. Recorded live with a focus on weight and texture, this EP captures ISUA’s descent into darker territory while revealing new depths of intensity.
