Storm Static Sleep goes into it a little further. When they made In the Absence of Truth, they switched entirely to digital recording. The album was digitally edited, which previously Isis had never done before. They recorded a song in a single take. In the Absence of Truth was compiled with the best "takes" of each performer to create the songs, which Aaron Harris lamented. A sense of authenticity is lost because the album is tweaked to be perfect.
After Panopticon and Oceanic's success, they felt this weight of having to live up to expectations, so they spent a lot more time on In the Absence of Truth than prior releases. Previous releases flowed out better, but when In the Absence of Truth came out, the "post-metal sound" was already recognizable. (To quote Jack Chuter: "Slow build-ups and monumental crescendos had become post-rock and post-metal cliche, and just as a mountain-climber experience a diminished sense of achievement when climbing the same peak for a second time, the magnitude of post-metal's impact would only be softened by repeating the same trick. On [In the Absence of Truth], Isis avoided the paths lain by expectation.")
So they were reaching a point where the fount of their creativity was nearing an end. Was it a new evolution that we as fans would have loved to follow them on that journey? Yes! But the creative energy that became expected from Isis was reaching exhaustion, so I understand why they decided to quit when they did.
One last quote from Storm Static Sleep. Seriously, pick up the book if you haven't. It goes into great detail about the history of post-rock and post-metal. You may even find some suggestions for new bands.
"Where much of the post-rock of the early 90s focused on dismantling the relationship between music and the linear passage of time, post-metal is all about the sound of a band rocking out together. The music has become increasingly about physicality, ever less concerned with vacations into the deep subconscious through extended sections of repetition. Isis' last record, Wavering Radiant from 2009, was sharper and more clinical than everything before it. In part it was a summation of their previous full-lengths (Celestial's heavy chug, all the way through to In the Absence of Truth's incessant intricacy), but its movements were more abrupt and assertive. Where Panopticon moved in slow gradients, Wavering Radiant forcefully propelled itself through time."
