   Isolate is the second full-length studio album by the Norwegian progressive metal band Circus Maximus. The album was released on October 24, 2007 in Japan, August, 2007 in Europe and September 4, 2007 in the US. The cover-art for the album as well as a sample track containing an excerpt from the song "Wither", was released by the band on May 29, 2007 on the official Circus Maximus website. Like its former album, Isolate contains the same number of tracks and also track 4 is an Instrumental. Isolate is also the first album to feature new keyboardist Lasse Finbråten after Espen Storø's departure at the end of recording of The 1st Chapter. Lasse Finbråten added more keyboard/synthesizer sounds to the album in both soloing and overall use. This is different to the previous album as Espen Storø's sound centered around the use of the piano. The album entered the Norwegian national charts at number 70 in August, 2007.

Examples of isolate in a Sentence

1. Marianne Reardon:

   Faucis sentiments were also shared by Dr. Deborah Birx, the White House Coronavirus Task Force response coordinator. During a call to state governors this week, Birx saidthat sending home students infected with COVID-19 could just encourage transmission of the virus, according to multiple reports. Sending these individuals back home in their asymptomatic state to spread the virus in their home town or among their vulnerable households could really recreate what we experienced over the June time frame in the South. So I think every university president should have a plan for not only testing but caring for their students that need to isolate, Deborah Birx reportedly stated. WASTEWATER SYSTEM DETECTS CORONAVIRUS AT UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA DORM Parents told Fox News they have mixed feelings about leaving sick kids at college. Marianne Reardon, who has a daughter awayat school, told Fox News that Marianne Reardon ultimately agrees with Fauci and Deborah Birx. As hard as it for me to say, obviously any parent would want to have their child home if they got sick, but I agree with Dr. Fauci that it is safer for them to stay at school.

4. Corbin Kunst:

   Our story, we want to use it to show people that we need to be looking at our immigration issues from an environmental but also humanitarian standpoint, we do not benefit when we isolate ourselves.

5. Peter Pronovost:

   Safe Patients would love to be able to do much broader testing to identify all those people who are positive and then make sure that Safe Patients isolate Safe Patients , Smart Hospitals.
