I love Isis, they are gods. but does aaron turner not know that the drum beat on "rhymin and stealin" (first song on license to ill) is a sample of "when the levee breaks"? just odd that he'd reference beastie boys, before zeppelin.
I can't believe the band is finished. I only just started getting into them several months ago. I would kill to see them live now, but I may never get the chance unless there is a reunion.
@HarlotBug3 Ok, well how bout you keep that image you had before you saw them in person because that's all that matters. Besides, they are all in their 30's now.
isis is completely amazing. check out the albums "Effloresce" by Oceansize, "Mr Beast" by Mogwai, or "Enter" by Russian Circles, there's tons of music as good as this out there, you have to look around for it though :)
In my humble oppinion Isis is the best band doin it right now. Cynics latest masterpiece was great..mastodons puttin out great albums...but no one draws you in quite like Isis (if you let them)....great musicians better band
Comparing Isis to Cynic is like comparing Metallica to Sigur Ros to me. Isis is closer to Post Rock, Sludge bands. Cynic are more on the lines of tech death. Mastodon could be compared. I prefer Isis though.
@jerradcwilliams True, but i try not to get into what bands sub genres are...i like what i like...i look for certain things in music and i might find that in any particular sub-genre.......i was not comparing isis to cynic or mastodon...simply saying what the cream of the crop is...BTW...Baroness is also on top of the metal genre these days....red album and blue album are amazing go get them ASAP
I wear ear plugs at gigs too. If you are in the music business for eg, and you record and mix music, you can't not wear ear plugs. Music gigs damage your hearing a lot.
Cause the influence of these bands is obvious. It's not like they are copying them, it's just amazing how inspiration of totally different aspects can alter into something unexpected
These guys have been such a big influence on my own music, I have to give thanks to them for opening my mind to so much more. Because of them I have found hundreds of other great bands over the years!
this band does not get the credit that it deserves. And I am sick of everyone bagging on in the absence of truth. I think the reason it has such a bad rap is because it moved away from the constant black metal vocals and was more musically in depth. It through the fans from the previous albums though a loop because of how much more creative it was. Its by far my favorite album from these guys. But hey. I like them all
Dude your 100% right - I too am sick of fans who dont want (or cant accept) a band that can evolve over time. Theres too many metal heads in the world who judge a band ONLY on their ability to scream. Turners clean vocals on ITAOT made it what it was - it was more controlled and moved away from generic 'heavy' into a genre of its own. Im with you though dude - ISIS FOREVER!
@Orgsgrym FUCK YES! True for me as well!
