[DasUberCow]

Who gives a shit about your political bickering. Shut the fuck up and have your way with each other somewhere else.

[ChambersOfDis]

I don't usually comment on here, but ahahaha OWNED!!!!.

Aaron Harris is a quality drummer, such a brilliant style, especially love the rythm in this song.

Keep it up Isis :)

[Fossick]

lol whatever happened to talking about Isis and music?

[metalhead321]

@Fossick I agree. Amazing band bro. haha what tuning is their guitar in? sounds likfe drop c or somewhere around there

[DarkOsiris92]

Shut the fuck up you jackass

[phys1ks]

One minute they're serenading with soft melodies then they're blowing your fucking head off with brutal vocals and solid riffs, superbly done.

[Isisje123]

My name is ISIS :D

[HalfwayHouse12a]

Man they need to stop with these short East/West coast tours and do an entire US tour.

[Dystisis]

"save america from communists"... you fucking retard. Do you know how many children die in Africa every day because of hunger and preventable diseases? Look it up. It is YOU there is something wrong with. Not people who want to change the world. This music has really nothing to do with this though, so I suggest you shut the fuck up. Thanks.

[dappe980]

We build up our countries and they should build up their own not our faulth that they are retarded and just buy weapons for the money etc

[marcandrethe]

how can you be so fucking ignorant

[Slipknotfanatic89]

Marcandrethe, how can you be so blind?

[Slipknotfanatic89]

No, people who want to change the world are ONE of the reasons this country is going broke. I like helping people, and yes its the right thing to do. But think of what else our government could be spending the billions and billions of dollars on that we GIVE other countries each year. Its gone past the point of being nice.

[marcandrethe]

your country is not giving anything it is asking money your country is broke and to continue they have to ask money to othey countries like china

[Slipknotfanatic89]

Not like we're currently pumping billions into getting Iraq back on its feet, or Africa...

[alecportnoy]

HAHAHAHA... Good one.

You are what, 19? First start by reading the paper. You'll avoid making a fool out of yourself in front of everybody.

[analgrape]

plz stick to talking about isis..

[HandsomeDead]

God, I'd forgotten why I love Isis so much, but the last few days has just been Isis!Isis!Isis!

I can't wait for them to tour again, missed them last time.

I'm just curious as to why 'Headtrauma8000' thinks Isis are emo

[bubs16]

The last 5 minutes of this track is bloody amazing.

[alejandro15187]

the dynamics shared between these guys is incomparable... except to maybe that of a full orchestra. fucking amazing. I pray they keep making music. Their albums keep getting better and better and they keep pushing their sound farther. I love they way the drummer purposefully stop-starts in the middle of the beats-- like the beat trips and recovers. Amazing

[mastodonrock96]

Some people have no idea what they're talking about. Have sympathy in 'Headtrauma8000' people. Most people don't know what good music is.

[Thecorrectopinion]

The music their write is so beautiful. It's a shame they go and ruin it with that guys voice.

[zlxyzlz]

This is not emo music...My Chemical Romance and Fall Out Boy is emo music...this is sludge metal at its finest...not f***ing emo...understand you ignorant people...isis: sludge metal MCR: emo...sludge is alt metal...ignorant people will not understand it...but no one is stopping you from listening to your britney spears album.

[seegoon]

I got bored. He's blocked.

[ProblemAudio]

holy shit dude...

you really put up the worst arguments I've ever heard...

like... please; get help.

[ProblemAudio]

Ya... I'm glad that you can judge how I am through my typing.

I guess my overall point, is that ISIS is different than mainstream music... and you should deal with it, cause it's a growing crowd.

[ProblemAudio]

nice argument.

[ProblemAudio]

please shut the f. up and find something else to be biased about.

[nipplesgalore]

Wow. Headtrauma8000. You are a complete idiot. Ever hear of minamalistic music. They

don't rely on amazing musicainship or extremely complex intrumentals. The music is there to breath and expand. You've lost the argument. Please go die for the good of humanity. (ps Aaron Turner is a great guitarist, ive heard him do some amazing shit at a soundcheck)

[nipplesgalore]

Also, they never NEVER EVER talk about daddy not loving them or their emotions. All of their albums are concept albums. They have stories and meanings behind them. God your a fucking waste of life. But what would i know. Im just an emo communist terrorist lovin idiot right? Seriously you embarres all musicians. Im sure kerry king would think your a fag aswell.

[inhalcyon]

guys, you just got trolled bad by headtrauma8000, can't you tell he is a troll?

anyway, fucking awesome video, Isis is just beyond words

[matternicuss]

its just a different style dude; these guys arent power metal or thrash like the bands you mentioned (which I enjoy also). if you compare music to the art world, this music is like abstract art; few people understand its subtleties, and many think it is so simple a child could do it...when in fact, both these musicians and abstract artists have a great hold on technicality, but instead play with composition and form rather than immediate detail.

[oceanic86]

God damnit, this song is so fucking amazing. There's no other band that achieves such a perfect balance between beauty and brutality.

[spokenout24]

IDK what the fuck he is screaming but I don't really care cus the guitar/drum work is brillant

[seegoon]

Long you both laid the sun's yellow stare.

On the edge, with eyes rolled back, the waves were calling him.

[spokenout24]

thanks...

[TheTannerandBrandon]

@spokenout24

This kind of music is supposed to keep vocals at a minimum.

[spokenout24]

@TheTannerandBrandon true.

[Bonedalas]

You're definitely in the wrong thread. In Zombie Movies the Zombies try to "share" what they are. Now I see it's the same in real life.

[Bonedalas]

When "real music" is where YOU are able to realize structure, perhaps you allow us only to listen to folk music, master?

[slayeraregood]

headtrauma8000 you ARE the reason English people don't like Americans. I don't understand why someone would get enjoyment from being a complete arrogant elitist twat.

[Nicjordan04]

amazing song

[seegoon]

Guns are awesome, yeah. You wrote this AFTER a madman shot 32 people in one go, and you're defending your "rights" with such vigour? And do you honestly believe that I don't have private property and am a "subject"? You really need to read up on your politics.

[asmoich]

headterauma i'm from italy..thank you so much i've been laughing for 10 minutes..privare property? communism?

you're a slave, keep on watching fox news and listening to the fuckin church..TS Elliot once said "noone is more hopelessy enslaved than those who falsely believe they're free" think of it

[seegoon]

I'm English. You know nothing about me. And everything you say is embarrassing you more and more.

[HidetoraHikimonji]

You're a retard.Period.And you'll not save America from Communists!Buahahahahahah!Say your prayers tonite!

[TheOriginalEntz]

I gotta say I love the music. I hate the vocals. But the lyrics are intriguing. However I can't understand them and the ones I do seem really stupid... These boys have a website or something where they talk about it?

[seegoon]

Yeah, if you check Wikipedia's page on "Oceanic", the album this is from, there are brief explanations, as well as a link to a video interview in which Turner explains them slightly more.

[TheOriginalEntz]

THanks a bunch. I will check it out.

[seegoon]

Wow. Holy shit. I can't imagine what leap of logic you used in order to work out that Isis are communists... much less that anyone who likes them are also "emo theatrics" and communists themselves. I myself can, however, based on empirical evidence, tell you that you're a redneck fuckwit.

[slaytiricon212]

dude you give a bad name to headbangers when you do this. I love slayer. I love black metal. I love death metal. and i love this shit. and in no way is this emo. theres nothing even vaugely emo about this song

[Revan2021]

hahahaha.. go bury yourself somewhere, headtrauma, your words are inhuman and deserve extinction. sad thing is that you're one among the rest of the brain-washed, fundamentalist, racist majority of this country, who should not be taken seriously but should be treated like chickens.

[okcomplateralus]

you are just to engaging, headtrauma... very original... any unintellectual retard would say stuff like that... good work being a retard... ass

[raphadagaffa]

Headtrauma obviously has an iq of about 2, and the emotional maturity of a six year old. Any idiot can practice scales all day long and play thrash riffs galore,trust me: i'm one of them; It takes real talent to write epic and beautiful songs like these ones , sumoning all the beauty ad strength of ther ocean into one album.

[Revan2021]

You're a guitar theatric. Equal to a clown, say Malmsteen. These guys (Isis) have more reognition than you know of and deserve more.

[okcomplateralus]

Pure art...

[Revan2021]

Your view of music totally fucked up. the reason you call Isis emo is because you're a shallow n00b who doesn't understand anything. Isis' music actually IS very deep and intelligent. the bands you mention.. well, you're addicted to headbang, that's for sure, you believe heaviness lies in song titles and scary masks. you go drink your beer and headbang all you want, just keep your filthy posts out of here, you little worm.

[Revan2021]

I replied to headtrauma8000 btw.

[thegreatsmapdi]

i am of special intelligence

i argue in youtube comments about music

[87Hizzetfield]

guitar shredders are terrible songwriters.

[seegoon]

Talent isn't about virtuosity. Good music isn't about shredding. I defy you to find a reputed music critic who'd agree with your point of view.

[headmunke]

I saw them open for TooL in nov. These guys were very fu#king good.

[GaryCultofLunaFan]

A little narrow minded dont you think? I mean, i listen to bands like Isis, but Slayer is still one of my favourite bands ever.

I think if you broaden your mind a bit, you could give them a chance. If you've already done that, fine, but be a bit more constructive with your criticism and present it as an opinion, not some attack at people that like this music.

[seegoon]

Yeah, this is pretty cookie-cutter emo. I hear they're touring with Taking Back Sunday and wearing make-up this summer. So - any music without a solo isn't real music, it's just noise? Clarify this for me.

[EbolaSandwich]

Opening for Tool sooonn...  :)

[seegoon]

What, no solos? Oh my god, it can't be real music! Someone get this guy a link to some Dragonforce wankery, stat! Up yours, this music is perfection.

[HidetoraHikimonji]

LOL!Totally agree with you man...headtrauma,you're embarassing for mankind....

[JNarciso1138]

[QM]

This is fucking awesome. <3

[HalfwayHouse12a]

Holy shit. Awesome. Thanks for posting this.

[seegoon]

No problem. In posting it I like to think I'm furthering humanity, because the more people that hear this, the more peace there will be in the world. Honestly - if a better piece of music has ever been written, it's never reached my ears. Enjoy!
