"Holy Tears" is a single by Los Angeles, California-based post-metal band Isis, released in 2008 on Ipecac Recordings. It is their first ever single, taken from their 2006 album In the Absence of Truth. However, it was not released for radio airplay or chart success.
It was originally released on February 5, 2008, but had to be recalled due to the title track being replaced by "Wrists of Kings", also on In the Absence of Truth.[2]
The enhanced CD contains a video, directed by Dominic Hailstone. It depicts a man leaping from a building in a suicide bid, and as he hits the floor, imagery depicting an embryo and his subsequent death.
