Studying and understanding the motifs, themes, and influences behind Isis' music gives it a whole new power. It becomes more than music. Few bands seem to be able to manipulate the same transcendental form of communication in which Isis is fluent.
@CyValkarion great point Cy, after they made their move to LA I contacted Aaron Turner and did some street-team work for them, strictly based on the overall appreciation of what they had created and wanting to help facilitate what you described above, multiple level planes of feelings and emotions, a language that tells us we are not alone in sadness, disbelief and strength or lack thereof...
i went to see tool in oakland some years back and got super blazed before the show and isis happened to be opening for them...i had never heard of them before that. i sat just bobbing my head totally absorbed and grooving to their set. it was so amazing. my high wore off right at the beginning of tools set. i think thats how it was meant to be. this is one of the greatest songs of all time, it can speak for the seasons and natural ways of the world
Hardly anyones headbanging. My head would be like a fucking donut, without a hole going through the earths atmoshpere at terminal velocity. That's right a flying fucking donut with speed unmatched.
I've never understood why Aaron is so keen towards Fenders. Their cleans are enjoyable, but adding distortion makes for what is possibly the ugliest sounding guitar tone I've ever heard.
I'm happy they switched to EGC guitars with the last record.
@davethehostage Those Telecasters are actually very well suited to all sorts of metal and heavily distorted tones. Tons of metal guitarists use Telecasters. They cut through really well, and while bright, they have a sort of low end grit that is really unique. They can sound amazing with distortion piled on, you just need to know how to dial in that tone.
@davethehostage also he switched out the pickups with humbuckers and put on some heavy gauge strings to drop to b i believe. its only a tele in body but not the twangy soul
@kirtbarnes Meh, I'm just not digging the sounds they produce when distortion is added. Like I said, I feel their new aluminum models blow them out of the water in a live setting.
@TheScientista well that was certainly the case for me. Since discovering ISIS, I haven't been able to listen to and enjoy TOOL as much I used to, which is a shame.
