Isis - The Beginning and the End

[sangcouvreleciel]

ROTFLOL!!!!!

[moonlitesymphony]

Do you have the REAL live audio?

[laceywithane]

for a live band to be synced up like this is unbelievable especially since the drummer has no in ear monitors that i can see with a click track...TIGHT TIGHT TIGHT

[teamguy246]

@laceywithane yeah, that is pretty amazing!

[bassdreamer91]

@laceywithane you can totally hear the switch, since when does a crowd go silent and then you hear nothing but full sound?

[lekotar]

I actually think this was an early attempt for official video. I have this same version I downloaded 4 years from their site.

[MrMcmanos]

its not live man -.-...but they have the best live i have ever seen

[forevermetalfiend]

@MrMcmanos Amon Amarth is pure perfection live. Studio quality.

[anemazoso]

Hard to believe they sound that good live

.

[82394forrest]

These guys fucking RULE!!!

[JoesCheapThrills]

Hearing them live and in the studio isn't the same thing. They have a very improvisational style live.

[luckyphilster]

not really, mabye in terms of individual playing but the structures are pretty much to the record

[rosettast0ned]

i lol'd when the audioswap begun.. i was like "wtf lol???"

[brinks31590]

wow fucking trolled

[Richardh33]

can anyone else hear a little mastodon in there?

my first time listening to Isis today, and im impressed, will be getting their albums!

[darkbarrage99]

mastodon wouldn't exist without bands like isis dude

[mastod05]

mastodon have nothing to do with isis.but both isis and mastodon wouldnt exist without bands like neurosis^^

[bluebunny61]

fuck those asshole ripping off isis this is real music.

[asdjfasdfasdf]

wtf why post a live clip with studio recording?

not cool imo

[lamby9935]

nice job dude

[ktirawi]

I'm sorry, but where does it say that this is live? Anywhere on the vid? Anywhere in the description?

Nope, in the description it even says it was edited. Now stop complaining and enjoy the song.

[3amsleep]

OMFG!, its true!!! they sound even better live!...

[PandaOtaku]

(Hi my name is daigen, I am using a friend's account) FIRST of all, this is total bullshit, it is fucking retarded how many people you can fool with this shit. it is not cool when you post live footage with an album version of a song. that's retarded, why would you trick people like that? secon and lastly, it's easy to figure out, because the guitarist is playing when in the intro there is no guitar. they are strumming, when their instrument isn't being played.

[Imptheshrimp]

Calm down, bub. Audio doesn't always have to match video and its such a small i thing i dont see why it would matter too much. Second I doubt anyones gonna care enough to fix that problem just for you, or even care too much about your opinion. sorry, but thats the hard thruth. The internet is fulla people who dont give what you or most people think.

[schmamon123]

the vid is nice stop complaining.....you can see how they play the song and hear the song in a good quality what do you still want more?

[jordanm06111]

Damn, I wish you didnt cover the album version over it. Anyway, I saw these guys a couple of days ago, the best gig ever. Pelican was there too which also lit it up...Good times..

[impavido]

Great song, but unfortunately it is the album version dubbed over live video....

[aaronlenny]

is not live

[psycold]

I love how you virtually had to do no editing whatsoever because of how good they are.

[zacbrac]

cock

[jonnyrocketballs69]

a doodle do

[ProdaBg]

This is great song! 

Greetings from Serbia

[pesquios]

nice bassline though

[sudam666]

in fiction

[metalocalypse1010]

Isis is the shit

[westboy601]

learn 2 upload it right?

[cha0scl0ud]

I wish I could hear the live version of this... this looks like an older video! But the album version of this song is just so amazing.

It's the first song I ever heard from ISIS when they opened for TOOL. I was blown away.

[pev87]

isis son los mejores!!!

geniales!!!!

[dukethr3rd]

this is AWESOME.. though i wouldnt mind if it was just a slight bit softer voice, like american head charge? than i would have a new favourite band, they still kick ass though!

[Kukident1]

lol... this isnt a live recording, he just put the album version over it.. weak

[TysEnz]

i like it.

[Kelavmeister]

damn.. i was so excited to hear the live recording!

[vicarius79]

cd version...

[NecroGrimm]

Halfwayhouse12a is right, the sad thing is; many bands do this these days, and its getting to the point where most bands just become studio bands.

Isis still write amazing songs. When I saw them live their songs were too raw to be overdubbed by the studio track, however, it is still possible that they may have still been playing to a click track...unfortunately.

[oceanic86]

Isis are anything but a studio band. They sound amazing live, they pull it all off. There was definitely no click track when I saw them. I think the albums are fairly minimalistic, they're just very rich-sounding. I've never noticed any overdubs, except for some vocal harmonies.

[HalfwayHouse12a]

When I said "he dubbed the album track over the original audio," I didn't mean ISIS played to prerecorded tracks. I meant that the person who made the video muted the live audio and inserted the album version. ISIS pulls off their live sound phenomenally well. Search for their proshot Sweden show.

[slayeraregood]

what is with this video, why would we go onto youtube to hear the album version

[Andyarr]

if we dont have any cds and are trying to see if they're worth getting.

[KEVXEDGE]

this comes straight from the cd mate

[nbowling]

The audio quality on this video is stunning, especially in contrast to the quality of the video. Did the camera man have board access?

[HalfwayHouse12a]

He dubbed the album track over the original audio.

[ssyphilis]

are you serious?

[iamlameduck]

it's the album version.

[iadumboros]

If you want to see the post-harcore line up, listen to Neurosis "Pain of Mind". Then listen to "Through Silver in Blood" or anything after. The listen to Isis, Cult of Luna etc. And don't forget to check out Old Man Gloom and Red Sparrowes on your way :)

[Ticalultimate]

Dude, that's amazing. These guys kick unsurd amounts of ass, and this is one of their best songs, IMO

[SW1911Colt]

Isis is not hardcore. Isis have gone way beyond the boundaries of metal, and music as we know it.

[Deletion234]

I don't think it's weird at all, imo they've gone through an extremely clear development, say from mosquito control to celestial, to oceanic, to panopticon, to the absence of truth. they truly have changed their style a lot through this development, but its not very radical imo.......SWATTER!!!

[Arthemesic]

I think it's cool how such a brutal HC band can evolve into something SO MUCH MORE. Although, ever since ISIS existed, they were into experimenting with stuff. I still have Mosquito Control and Sawblade and ISIS Self-Titled Demo to hear, but I've heard a bit of Mosquito Control, which really opens up the timeline of evolution within ISIS' sound. I love this band. A great influence to my music too.

[ptwhf]

this isnt by any means hardcore... though i agree with the rest, saying this is HC is almost insulting imo

[Arthemesic]

Of course it isn't. I guess I stated it a bit unclear. I meant to say that ISIS evolved from a HC band into one of the hugest Avant-Garde Metal bands today.

[ptwhf]

lol they were "more metal" before then they are now actually. never hardcore.

[Arthemesic]

No, they were. The members were coming from HardCore bands they weren't happy with. So they decided to line-up with a new type of HardCore, which was extreme. It was pretty much like Converge, but they took another path that evolved into something so great as heard today.

[ptwhf]

l998's self titled ISIS, listen to it and tell me thats hardcore.

[Arthemesic]

Don't have it. A few comments before I think I mentioned that I still have S/T and Sawblade to hear.

Buuuut I'm workin' on it. But you listen to The Red Sea. It's very much like some of Converge's songs.

[ptwhf]

lol i think we are listening to different stuff. converge... isis? hum ok..

[Arthemesic]

I'm not talking about ISIS, I'm talking about their early release called The Red Sea. Ever heard?

[ptwhf]

yes i have and i just cant say its hardcore, man, but this is pointless i dont care about the styles so lets get over this both. last night great pelican concert : )

[Arthemesic]

Weeeel you're right. It has HC elements though. :D

[iamlameduck]

HardCore.

[Arthemesic]

I know.

[maxiboy1991]

Theres an amazing remix to this song i reccomend listening to when ur completely smashed on something it will spin u out... love this band... its weird they used to be more hardcore...

[enanito]

la mejro banda de metal catarsis experimental

[volatill]

Great song.

That's about the only thing that matters about this video.

Period.

[SpasticColon]

It's the Oceanic recording you dullards. Who gives a shit if it's an overdub

[Corrupted94]

Dubbed or not, still good. thanks for uploading.

[macdzl]

why do people always complain about getting something for nothing. geez go eat a dick

[trickmast]

this band kicks ass

[SUBZEROxDESTROY]

seriously who cares. awesome band. great vid. thanks for posting.

[MetalFixx]

Hey it's cool to see a live vid., overdubbed or not. Props to you. Thanks for putting it up.

[defenestr8]

yeah it's overdubbed. so fucking what? it sounds good and matches up. probably sounds a hell of a lot better than some kid in the crowd would get with a cam mic. quit bitching.

[bendyourmind]

there's an audio/video delay on eveything i've uploaded to date, so don't use that as evidence. vox too perfect? it's clearly not the oceanic album track, and how can his vox be too perfect for his own live performance if it's dubbed off a live version?? wtf...

[djones7241]

GOOD VIDEO

[yubizume1]

That is clearly overdubbed. Only a fool would not realise this.

[nunlover]

dubbed. the vocals don't match to aaron's mouth.

[slayonyoumetalwhores]

hes prob used a version from ther live cd's

[thehawthornepassage]

dubbed for sure - the song is perfect

[LucyR]

Its definitely dubbed. Aaron's vocals arent that perfect live, and there is no way the sound would be that good.

[schwipschwap]

it has to be dubbed.

[CalmAsHinduCow]

Holy shit! I thought it was the song dubbed over the top until I heard the variations.
