The Mosquito Control EP is the first studio release by American post-metal band Isis, released in 1998 by Escape Artist. The piece runs fluently through all 29 minutes, and all four songs are linked through consistent bouts of chaos and lyrics glued by the metaphor of using mosquitoes as a symbol for mankind, society and population control. The Mosquito Control EP introduces Isis's first major theme, the mosquito. The reissue of this EP features cover art depicting control towers.

Since I reviewed the new Isis album Wavering Radiant, I figured I'd go back in time and give a review on Mosquito Control. Now, anyone expecting to find what Isis is doing nowadays on this album is going to be in for a brutal surprise. This album came out when Isis was a lot angrier and drawing a large degree of influence from Neurosis and Godflesh. Translation, it's heavy as all get out. You can write one.

The conceptual feel of this EP is also highlighted by the lyrics, which use mosquitoinsect references as a metaphor for a failed relationship. Hive Destruction showcases the band's riff-writing abilities at their best and is arguably the highlight here, but the whole EP is solid and should please anyone into this band. Review by UMUR SPECIAL COLLABORATOR Honorary Collaborator. Mosquito Control is the debut release from US first Boston, now Los Angeles experimental metal post metal act Isis. Mosquito Control is an EP which consists of four songs and with a total playing time of 28:29 minutes. The musicianship is great and if youre familiar with Isis debut album Celestial 2000 you ll recognise the riffing style and the drum style from Aaron Harris. The production is very good. Grand and hard hitting
