Formed in 1990 under the name Forlorn, the band released several demos before changing their name to "Isole" in 2003 in order to avoid confusion with other bands named Forlorn.[1]
In 2005, Isole released their debut album, Forevermore through I Hate Records. In 2006, they also released The Beyond and Throne of Void through I Hate Records.
In 2008, Isole's third studio album, Bliss of Solitude, was released through a different label, Napalm Records.
Their 2009 album Silent Ruins was also released through Napalm Records.[1] Silent Ruins is a concept album about a man who wakes up without any memory of his life in a post-apocalyptic world; he slowly gains memories about himself but fears that this will lead to a devastating conclusion for him. Crister Olsson stated in an interview that the story of Silent Ruins will be continued on a future album, possibly two future albums, one of which might not be Isole's next studio album.[2] In October 2011, the band's latest album, Born from Shadows, was released.
The Calm Hunter (2013 – present)
In late 2013, Isole started the production of their future album. On 28 May 2014, the band split with their record label, Napalm Records.[3] They later signed with Cyclone Empire on 29 July 2014.[4] Their next album, "The Calm Hunter" through this label is scheduled for release on the 28th of November 2014.[5]
On 15 October 2014 the band released the track listings for The Calm Hunter. On 28 October 2014, a statement was released on the band's website that Jonas Lindström would be departing the band: "It is with sadness that we announce that Jonas will leave Isole. He will surely be missed! We wish him the best of luck with everything and we had a great time together in Isole. Hopefully we will be able announce a replacement behind the drumkit soon!". The last show that Jonas performed with Isole took place on 28 November 2014.[6]
