Title: Isis
Post by: yoda on mars on Apr 28, 2006, 06:11 PM
damn!

I've downloaded their album "panopticon" and this is one of the best things in metal music I've ever heard! I think their vocalist is also in Old Man Gloom, isn't he?

I want to know more about them!!!
Title: Re: Isis
Post by: Oldnewtype on Apr 28, 2006, 06:18 PM
If he is that would explain alot. I want to say one of the guys from Converge is in OMG too but im not sure.

And I only have one Isis cd, i forgot which, the one that came wth the remix cd thing, but yeah theyre fuckin awesome.

Isis, over the last 2 years have risen into my top 5 bands ever! They are just amazing! Every album, they've done, there's just something about them! They're great! Panopticon and Oceanic have become classic albums in my eyes!

And yes, the man, Aaron Turner is in Old Man Gloom, as is Nate Newton, the bassist of Converge, and Caleb Scofield of Cave In. Old Man Gloom are also an awesome band!

Panopticon is the best, I love Celesital's title track, but Oceanic has taken me awhile to get into.

Quote from: Isis My Space BlogSo the new record is complete. We finished mixing a few days ago, and although we are reluctant to divulge much about it at this point, we will reveal that its comprised of 8 songs, a little over an hour of music. Ipecac Recordings will once again be releasing the CD, and the expected release date is Halloween, Oct. 31st.

I am fucking excited!!! :) ;D :)

And yeah, a new Red Sparowes record shall be out sometime this year to, and I reckon it's going to be awesome, they played some of the new songs live and they sounded heavier yet more intricate at the same time, which is cool!

I knew you were finnish. Welcome to the board! ;)

Anyway, Callisto are great as are CoL and Isis and OMG and Red Sparowes and Khoma and Neurosis and Jesu and Pelican and all that stuff.

Of all the post-metal albums, I probably mostly prefer Neurosis' "The Eye Of Every Storm" or Khoma's "Tsunami". By Isis, both "Oceanic" and "Panopticon" are tight but I actually haven't heard their other albums.

there is definately a huge tool influence in their music. tools bass player even appears on panopticon, and he played on a few shows with them.

for me isis is like "neurosis meets tool". crushing doom-metal meets melodic post-rock. and this combination is perfect.

In 2006 avant-metal band ISIS and ambient artist Tim Hecker premiered a new live collaboration at the inaugural Bleeding Edge Festival at the Montalvo Arts Center in Saratoga, California.

Originally curated by Volume Co-Director Robert Crouch for the Bleeding Edge Festival, Volume will continue to work with the artists to develop and present further versions of this very special collaboration.

We are also pleased to announce that SnowGhost Music has generously offered to produce and record this project in the coming months at their studio in Montana. Visit the SnowGhost website to learn more about this unique partnership.

damn, I WANT to like Isis, cause I know it is a good band, but there are some aspects in their music I dislike very very much - such as screaming and stuff. If only Isis played only instrumentally.. cause well, I have tried listening to Oceanic, and I had to skip everything to 'Weight' because of screaming. And 'Weight' was f-cking unbelievable.

Maybe anyone of you would recommend me their album which would not be so screamish?

Post by: ben on Aug 18, 2008, 02:44 AM
Their last two releases Panopticon and In the Absence of Truth (espeacially) have less screaming than their previous work.  You also might want to check out Red Sparowes, a post-rock band with one of the guitarists from Isis.  There are no vocals.

...and yea, I live!

I'd say that Pelican is more in the same vein as ISIS. Red Sparowes remind me more of EITS.

Pelican are heavy as fuck and they don't have a vocalist. I'm sure you'd like them, bored.
Title: Re: Isis
Post by: lostpilot on Aug 18, 2008, 09:48 AM
Hm, I will sure try out Pelican.
And I have been listening to Red Sparowes for quite a long time, yeah, I like them basically.
thanks for the ideas!

which Pelican album is best for you, guys?
I'm thinking City of Echoes..
Title: Re: Isis
Post by: theis on Aug 18, 2008, 10:42 AM
City Of Echoes is a good place to start.

It's their least heavy album, but still great.

Australasia is my favorite.

The Fire in Our Throats Will Beckon the Thaw is also super awesome. they're all great.

Australasia is definitely their best work.  The March Into the Sea EP is really good.
Title: Re: Isis
Post by: lostpilot on Aug 18, 2008, 09:49 PM
Though I only have listened to only one song on Australasia, I am really liking it.
Title: Re: Isis
Post by: theis on Aug 18, 2008, 09:53 PM
cool man.

their song, Drought, is seriously one of the heaviest songs i've ever listened to.
Title: Re: Isis
Post by: lostpilot on Aug 18, 2008, 09:57 PM
now listening to it.
I really like how bands adapt instrumental heavy/rough songs to oceanic and earthish titles, like Ocean, Desert, or in this case Drought.
It gives me that rigid feeling. by the way, theis, I don't think this song is THAT heavy to be called the heaviest song ever heard (well, I do not know about you, but some songs of, lets say, Will Haven, are much more disasterous).

by the way x2, I've added you in last.fm, don't freak out
Title: Re: Isis
Post by: theis on Aug 18, 2008, 10:05 PM
Well, not THE heaviest, but certainly one of them. I think we all define "heavy" different. Music like ISIS, Pelican, most post-metal are what really heavy music is for me.

stuff like Will Haven and more chaotic bands like that are not heavy in what i see as heavy.

haha, that didn't make any sense.  ah well.

and cool you added me ;)
Title: Re: Isis
Post by: lostpilot on Aug 18, 2008, 10:11 PM
I would define bands like Jesu or Russian Circles sort of heavy, well, Jesu being more heavy than most of the bands I listen to.
Of course, there's always bands like, in this case, Isis, where a song is "too heavy" for me just because of mostly annoying screamingly-gruntish vocals.

Therefore I have tried many post-metal/sludge/drone bands like Yeti, Mastodon, mostly from Velvet Tongue's blog, but they just seem too monotonic for me.
Title: Re: Isis
Post by: theis on Aug 18, 2008, 10:25 PM
you don't like Mastodon? damn.

but don't give up on ISIS yet.

give Panopticon and In the Absence of Truth a chance.
Title: Re: Isis
Post by: lostpilot on Aug 18, 2008, 10:45 PM
I downloaded Mastodon's Leviathan, with really high expectations, and to my own disappointment I could not listen to it. And yes, I will probably not give up on Isis, cause I really like 'Weight'. Maybe this will be one of the bands that will suddenly grow on me, hopefully.

and yeah, thanks for the recommendations, I will try to download some of those bands tomorrow.
And right now will just continue drowning in euphoria from some good ol Jesu.
I forgot how I love this band.
Title: Re: Isis
Post by: theis on Aug 18, 2008, 10:49 PM
I guess I should probably get me some Jesu then. I haven't really checked them out!
Title: Re: Isis
Post by: lostpilot on Aug 18, 2008, 10:50 PM
oh, that is bad! Download self titled as soon as possible.
Amazing drone.

and right now I will put some of them into my player and go to sleep, yay
night!

weight actually evolved to what i call my most favorite song. since two years i am searching for a song that wakes similar emotions in me while listening to it.

and its normal that people dont like aaron turners vocals. most of them complain about his singing style tho'. if you dont like the growling/screaming too, you maybe need some more time to get used to it.

there is also a nice post-rock instrumental on "in the absence of truth" called firdous E bareen, im sure you will like it. oh and check out dulcinea. and the rest of the album. :D

oh yes man listen to their self-titled, there is still some nice godflesh mood here and there.
damn that opener track. 2 chords to rule them all.
Title: Re: Isis
Post by: ben on Aug 19, 2008, 04:42 PM
I love Aaron Turner's vocals.  However, as far as screaming combined with post-rock, Envy takes it away from Isis.  Definitely my favorite band.
Title: Re: Isis

Envy?

Never heard of them. You got some of their stuff?

Isis working on new LP
October 6th, 2008


(http://rock-a-rolla.com/main/wp-content/robinlaananen_01.jpg)
Post-metal titans Isis are currently in the studio recording the follow-up to 2006's In The Absence Of Truth. The as-yet-untitled opus will be released by Ipecac in the US and Conspiracy Records in Europe in Spring 2009. In related news, frontman Aaron Turner has completed Disconnected, the debut album from Grey Machine, his latest project with Justin K Broadrick, Diarmuid Dalton and Dave Cochrane. The LP is expected later this year, with samples available on JK Broadrick's Avalanche Inc website: www.avalancheinc.co.uk

This is good news!

Lots of things happening here as we close in on 2009... first and foremost being the fact that we are heading back into the studio in a few weeks to begin working on our fifth full-length album to be released via Ipecac Recordings (USA), Conspiracy Records (UK / EU), and Daymare (JP). We could not be luckier than to have the one and only Evil Joe Barresi to be at the engineering helm. Joe has recorded many of our favorite / loudest bands i.e. Melvins, Tool, Queens Of The Stone Age, Kyuss, etc. It's going to great to have him on board and can't wait to hear the results. We'll be attempting to keep some sort of weekly blog with updates and photos and whatever other shenanigans so stay tuned...

October 14th will see the release of our newest single from "In The Absence Of Truth" for the song "Not In Rivers, But In Drops," and will also include a remix for "Holy Tears" by Thomas Dimuzio, a live version of "Not In Rivers, But In Drops" from our 2006 tour with TOOL, and a video for "Not In Rivers, But In Drops" by Sera Timms. Be sure to check it out.

And as you can see below, we will be playing a handful of shows in the UK and the EU in conjunction with our performance at this year's ATP Night Before Christmas Festival hosted by MELVINS and MIKE PATTON. As the list of performers grows, so does our anticipation - it's going to be completely insane and not to be missed (much like tomorrow night's vice-presidential debate...)

See you across the pond - PEACE - ISIS

Quote from: www.aaronbturner.blogspot.comsomeone left a comment from a previous asking about isis news - here's what's happening at the moment: 8 tracks have been written for our upcoming recording session in november. most likely 6-7 of them will be used for the next album, and the remaining tracks will be used for an EP that will be released some time there after. we are recording with joe barisi at various studios in los angeles with the expectation that the whole thing will be mixed and mastered by mid january or so. if all goes according to plan that means a spring time release, though no specific date has been set yet. the album will be released by ipecac in the US, conspiracy in europe, and daymare in japan. album and song titles will be forthcoming shortly.
