Isis

[Edgecrusher]

Speaking of Neurosis, I finally got to listen and actually absorb 'The Eye of Every Storm...

i have a pretty good hunch that this CD will be popping up in my weekly rotation more frequently.

I heard they sound like Maudlin of the Well/Kayo Dot

No. Isis is actually good music.

Panopticon was the best album released last year except for maybe Boris's Feedbacker, which may have been released in 2003 I don't know, fuck Japan and their stupid Japan only releases.

No. Isis is actually good music.

No. maudlin of the Well, and Kayo Dot are two of the best musical entities to ever exist.

ISIS are a great band doing something different (for Americans anyway).

Live, I was really disappointed though - more so with Aaron as opposed to the band as a whole: Aaron barely said a word to the crowd, and it was their first ever tour to Australia! Not a good way to start off - in a new country, ther crowd needs to get to know the band a little, it goes a long way.

Performance wise though, it was good. A solid outing and good renditions of their material.

Overall, ISIS are an impressive and intriguing band. I'd tell anyone to give them a go.

Thats how they are live... they don't waste time saying HEY HOWS IT GOIN? to the crowd. They let the music take over and let the songs flow into eachother. I like it much better that way, for a band like ISIS atleast. I dont get distracted from the music

Wow scourge, I'm impressed you were able to type that with one hand while you jerked off with the other.

 

[Scourge of Malice]

if theres not atleast one band you feel the same way about then I feel sorry for you.

I would love to see a band like Isis or Neurosis live, not at a normal venue like most metal bands, but in a big concert hall.

To be fair the majority of metal bands I've seen live don't really talk an awful lot to the crowd, most of them just introduce the songs and then get right into it. The only band I've ever seen that really played around with the crowd was Cephalic carnage, and you kind of expect it of them.

Isis don't even introduce the songs, they keep the music flowing throughout the whole gig and it really matches there style. Personally I found them to be incredible live. Isis fans should check out Overmars as well, there sound is a more brutal take on the whole post-metal thing, or whatever you call it.

lol

lol? it's the truth. at least for maudlin...

 

[Menhir]

lol

It is true, wether or not you agree. They are one of the most talented bands around, and will continue to be so, just like an asshole will continue to be an asshole.

 

[All else failed]

ISIS + Neurosis + Pelican + The red sparowes= audio Orgasm

Isis= by far the best metal band--in my opinion of course.

 

[Dev]

In activity , I agree.

Thats very debatable. I love ISIS either way though.

 

[Dev]

Anyway it's not Opeth

Panopticon is quite an improvement over their previous albums. Its got more atmosphere and depth, but at the same times the music has mellowed a little in favor of more melodic approach.


Here's a link to a 30 minute live set that they played in Sweden.
