Some of Isis' stuff off the Red Sea is sludgy; this song is not at all sludgy. Mastodon are not sludgy at all and never have been. Sludge=eyehategod, Graves at Sea, Indian, Iron Monkey, buzzov*en and some Melvins, etc. Tool came to influence Isis - for the worse, because this was also when Tool was in decline - after Panopticon. Isis are pretty straightforward about their influences in the liner notes to Red Sea.
Yep, well put. I wouldn't even call early mastadon all that sludgy. They definitely had some moments but I'd say isis has a much much higher sludge content.
@Transcedant This is still sludge, but very atmospheric with lots of post-rock influence. Isis basically took what Neurosis was doing, and although they're less experimental than Neurosis, they took the whole proggy sludge formula in a new direction by incorporating post-rock.
I remember listening to this song walking from my home at school. Seven years have passed but i whenever i listen to this it always feels like the first time. Isis thanx for the memories!!!!!
@destroysubgenres yeah that's one of the most retarded things I've ever heard. Tool goes out of their way to be true to themselves and not give a shit what people think about their music... dudefromgermany doesn't know what the hell he's talking about.
@dudefromgermany is correct. Tool used to be in it for the music, now they just suck corporate cock. seeing Maynard drinking from a starbucks mug was a real shock to a lot of people who actually know him and his opinions on commercialism. As for the music, their last great album was Aenema. Isis are far better tho
any guys out there that like math/post/experimental metal check us out , you might enjoy it. P.S This song is fucking brilliant! Their best record in my opinion
I am so proud of my Language arts paper. Brings back memories of when I was writing a paper listening to the exact same song :,) Now I finished the paper in record time, only three replays of this song!
Just to jump in in this whole Tool/Isis argument. Yes, Tool did influence Isis, just as Neurosis did. Doesn't mean they are a like. These bands started something different, Isis took it in their own direction and laid out the groundwork for something truly special and unique.
Anywho, love this album. Panopticon is my personal favorite Isis album. It never fails to amaze me, truly an inspiring album that made me think 'I want in on this' and just wanted to create beautiful music like this.
I've only compared Isis to Opeth, because of the way their songs are put together..both are known for long, beautiful, melodic sounds, but they are just as heavy. This song especially, hits me so hard with different emotions, all at once. Just the way the lyrics flow, the message, the gorgeous and unique way he sings..it's incredible.
Now I do love Tool as much as the next guy, but Tool had little to no influence on the making of Isis. They drew most of there style from Neurosis & Godflesh... So even without the Tool we know and love Isis would still be rockin along!
I remember the first time I heard Panopticon... So Did We first up. As soon as the song started I got blown back into my chair. What a ride. As soon as it ended I put that baby on replay. It wasn't until the next day that I got to Backlit.
ISIS takes awhile to absorb, but every time you play each song you love it even more. I wish I got to see them live before they broke up. I also wish I knew about them sooner. Great band, amazing music.
@eAddiction I know exactly what you mean. That song, and this record as a whole, are just fucking massive. Panopticon just overwhelms you in every sense.
The only thing Isis and Tool share musically is the tendency towards unconventional song structure. Both are amazing bands, neither has ripped the other off. Stop comparing them, you look like twats.
@davethehostage Or.... Talk about what ever you want to talk about, share opinions, and keep in mind they are opinions and that they will differ from one person to the next. We can still be civil and differing opinions, just keep an ope mind and we can learn so much from each other. Thank you Sicc ass song BTW
yo mikelamb24 relax. Isis is not a "metal" band but it's not hard to tell they have some elements of metal mixed with ambiance so it's hard to put a label on it. Before you come on here with you a7x bull shit think about what you say before you say it. avenged sevenfold is generic radio friendly "hard rock" and m shadows is a terrible vocalist. Isis is not about the vocals, it's about feeling the music and getting lost in it and it takes talent to do that so take a step back.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Haha this shit is gay as fuck. My friend recommended this band since I am a huge metal head. How can you ppl like this shit? Its so fucking boring. THe singer needs to take some lessons quick from my boy M Shadows. Sorry guys i will stick with my AX7 for real metal.
@MikeLamb24 You do realize that no one gives a fuck about your opinion on the internet right? Oh and you can stop being such an obvious troll, faggot.
@MikeLamb24 hey i listen to a7x a lot but only when they started... im talkin about sounding the 7th trumpet... in that time they were good after that they were complete sellouts cuz they had somthin good at first but they threw it out of the window to make more cash wich is why i dnt have respect for these guys... and thats why its not hard to realize that isis is FARRRRRR superior cuz they do somthin original and dnt give a shit about unsupported opinions like urs
@MikeLamb24 A7X aren't considered as "real Metal", they are Metalcore, a genre founded way after this (Post-Metal), this is more Metal than A7X in comparison to an iron bar and my dog.
@alexmonro83 In my opinion, a band is whatever genre they first play, no matter how many style changes - though I do obviously acknowledge what genre they are currently playing.
@MikeLamb24 no appreciation for subtlety or compexity, please expand your mind at least a little, there is more out there than Avenged Sevenfold, as much as I used to like them.
@musicman9901 Dude Isis only writes bathroom songs. This whole album is a bathroom album. Sounds like he was taking a shit while writing this poser music.
@MikeLamb24 well I you have nickleback and dragonforce on your favourites, so I guess you really must know good music. My appologies for assuming Isis was too "creative" for you. lol
I LOVE THIS SONG!!! Satan if you r reading this, I WILL GIVE YOU MY SOUL if you bring them back for more awsome albums, MY SOUL...meaby my sissy neighbor's too, god i hate that brat...
Saw Isis at the Clubhouse in Tempe on their last tour. Even with a shitty sound system and an idiot sound tech was still incredible. It really is too bad that they broke up, but they did what they came to do: Put consciousness altering music into the collect mind of humanity. Never was anything like them, and probably never will be again (since they'd get killed for being the ultimate posers).
Thanks god. inever comment music videos. i dunno if theres sth more to life. idont think so. read jed mckenna spiritual enlightenment if you rly want to know. its all bullshit, i wish it wasnt but it is.
I dunno why im even writing this. i love isis. seriously i was listening first to oceanic for a lot of time when i was younger...first the sounds scared me, the screaming was so hard, i couldnt stand it and i was kinda embarassed listening to it, but i knew there was more to it.
when i read the fountainhead by ain read i listened throughout the whole book isis in spain in my vacations....the end of the book and all the music made me cry....
I still love it it has sth real in it like you wish truth would jump out of the music and change everything.
4:00 onwards pushes me far beyond sadness... I've never experienced this kind of emotional depression before. Never EVER. Makes me think about life, in a way, makes me wish I was callous enough to end it. Rambling aside... one of the best songs I have heard.
@The19dreams You should check out the band ATOMIS as well! I saw them live a few months back. It was an amazing show! They are a newer band from Canada and they state Isis as a big influence. They have a promotional free download here: atomis. bandcamp. com
@Illusorysenses Checked it out....they sound really great! i can definitely hear the Isis influence, any band that uses Isis as an influence is worth a listen...many thanks for the link!
@The19dreams Agreed! I just wish I got to see Isis before they broke up. I actually went to see Tool when Isis opened up for them, but due to problems with security almost everyone missed out on seeing them that particular show.
How does this compare with Oceanic? I need to decide on my purchase of Isis. They are the only other band to captivate me with their musicianship and vision near as much as Rosetta.
@MyEggIsBoiled Oceanic and Panopticon are the top of the mountain for ISIS. Either one will give you a great experience. I personally started with Oceanic and listened to it for 9 months before I even touched another ISIS album. Same went for this album though. Oceanic is a little rougher around the edges, has a lot more screaming whereas Panopticon is vastly instrumental and just a tad bit lighter if you ask me.
@chill4lyfe Seems like they both have a lot to offer. But from the small snippets I've experienced Panopticon seems like it'd hold onto me just that tiny bit more. Thank you :)
@MyEggIsBoiled I think Oceanic is their magnum opus, but seriously, every Isis record offers something different and special for the listener. I think theyre all essential, but for newbies Oceanic is a great place to start.
I wouldn't recommend drugs unless you do have a high self-esteem... or are at least in a good place in life for a better and more insightful experience. Thanks for the tune... Blessings!
I wouldn't recommend drugs unless you do have a high self-esteem... or are at least in a good place in life for a better and more insightful experience.
Isis is life changing! Please check out my original inspired by Isis style music, called Spectator practice! It's only a preview to my demo, but the whole song is yet to come out
@ANTHMX lol doing drugs have nothing to do with self esteem. obviously you have no idea what youre talking about, so you might as well shut the fuck up.
@thychaos Are you serious about this "doing drugs have nothing to do with self esteem "? you're kinda funny dude, better go to study about psychology. LOVE YOUR IGNORANCE
@ANTHMX that might be the case with fags with no self esteem, but i personally do it out of boredom and the lack of anything to do. i do it for the same reason someone might go to the carnival. fun. weed is by no means dangerous. i love your ignorance, retard. im willing to bet youve never done a drug in your life, then you try to act like you know what youre talking about. lol the propaganda really got to you, man. "drugs are bad! yeah, dont do drugs!" dumbass.
@roddy123451 Wow, you are a jackass. You make yourself seem retarded by having all your letters capitalized. Enjoy trying to make yourself seem more important.
I listened to this song when I was high...what an experience. I was practically moved to tears by how epicly melancholy it all is. plus I heard an insane keyboard solo in my head towards the end :) smoke weed kids
give it time.. isis never did for me at first, then after awhile i started noticing different parts things , then they basically blew everything else i have ever listened to outta the water, they truly are something else...
@ShroomSamich Believe me, I've given it time. I bought this album and Celestial, listened to them many times but it just doesn't hold my interest for long enough. Maybe if I took drugs I'd like them..
what has it got to do with drugs? i dont understand... ive only smoked pot before and its not my thing but from that experience, this makes me feel like im baked xD
my user name has nothing to do with a hallucinogenic mushroom if that's what you are implying..
Fuck, the sound quality is perfect. This is my all time favorite song and album from them.

@chill4lyfe Seems like they both have a lot to offer. But from the small snippets I've experienced Panopticon seems like it'd hold onto me just that tiny bit more. Thank you :)

@MyEggIsBoiled Enjoy yourself brother. Hard to find many albums of this magnitude.
chill4lyfe 1 year ago
@MyEggIsBoiled I think Oceanic is their magnum opus, but seriously, every Isis record offers something different and special for the listener. I think theyre all essential, but for newbies Oceanic is a great place to start.

I wouldn't recommend drugs unless you do have a high self-esteem... or are at least in a good place in life for a better and more insightful experience. Thanks for the tune... Blessings!

Isis is life changing! Please check out my original inspired by Isis style music, called Spectator practice! It's only a preview to my demo, but the whole song is yet to come out

This album is just right behind Oceanic as my favorite Isis album.
Oceanic is definitely my favorite post-metal album though.

@ANTHMX lol doing drugs have nothing to do with self esteem. obviously you have no idea what youre talking about, so you might as well shut the fuck up.

@thychaos Are you serious about this "doing drugs have nothing to do with self esteem "? you're kinda funny dude, better go to study about psychology. LOVE YOUR IGNORANCE
ANTHMX 1 year ago
@ANTHMX that might be the case with fags with no self esteem, but i personally do it out of boredom and the lack of anything to do. i do it for the same reason someone might go to the carnival. fun. weed is by no means dangerous. i love your ignorance, retard. im willing to bet youve never done a drug in your life, then you try to act like you know what youre talking about. lol the propaganda really got to you, man. "drugs are bad! yeah, dont do drugs!" dumbass.

Listening to Isis with headphones on, volume all the way up. It makes life more complete, even more real...

@cvela20032003
Well in my opinion, life is a little less important without being able to hear music.
I would have killed myself because silence makes me insane lmfao. I wouldn't be able to live with myself.
But for those who were born def, they don't know what they're missing.
Those who were born with hearing know what music really is.
Having that taken away would be almost unbearable. I couldn't imagine a world without music.

@ShroomSamich exactly the same for me... the slowest growing band I've ever experienced. But when it does grow on you, oh boy...
rmmartins133 1 year ago
@ShroomSamich Believe me, I've given it time. I bought this album and Celestial, listened to them many times but it just doesn't hold my interest for long enough. Maybe if I took drugs I'd like them..
