New Orleans' SOUTHERN ISOLATION, initially going under the title of BODY & BLOOD, proved to be yet another in the lengthening roster of PANTERA vocalist Phil Anselmo's side endeavours. The band, which featured Anselmo's then wife Stephanie Opal as lead vocalist, saw Anselmo acting as guitarist. The band was rounded out by CHRIST INVERSION keyboard player Ross Karpelman, Kevin Bond of CHRIST INVERSION, CROWBAR and SUPERJOINT RITUAL on bass guitar and Sid Montz on drums. A four track EP was issued in October 2001 on the Baphomet label.
