Best live band I've ever witnessed. Saw their last performance in Montreal, and did it ever seem like it was their last, wow. After seeing them live 8 times, I still miss them. I still purposely keep myself from listening to them because it will be a long, hard, and ongoing affair. I miss them like no one.
Wow 8 times? They are my favourite band and I only got to see them once. They were not super regular here in the UK however I got an incredible one off show. Support from Final (JK Broadwick) then the Oceanic album in full with In Fiction as encore.
i found them when oceanic came out back in 2002. Saw them live at the Grog shop in Cleveland Ohio and it was the best show of my life.. At the time Travis's own mother was running their merch table.
Some bands use vocals as instruments, as the singer of MEshuggah said theyre another percussion element to every song. With bands such as isis, where all of the songs are pure emotions, the screaming vocals are to help carry out the feeling.
Saw them in 2009 in Antwerp! I remember after the show I was standing alone at the front watching Aaron putting his drum in boxes. Looked at me and told him I was also a drummer and he was a big influence for me and gave me 2 sticks, such a down to earth guy! Stopped drumming and lost the sticks! I blame it on my favorite drummer Danny Carey, such a heavy burden wanting to be as creative as him. Bought the same configuration sonor sq2 kit as him so started all wrong :)! Maybe need to buy a nice 4 piece kit and follow some lessons! I'm high on coke so I wanted to share my thoughts, kind off...
It's incredible to think how energy can be built and built upon in a song, these guys knew what they were doing. Here's to wishing for a UK tour one day.
@Tibberclaw I think the growls are part of what makes Isis' sound - the sheer intensity, the primal raspiness of the vocals. This song didn't need them, sure. But I really can't picture most Isis songs without those abrasive vocals. If you take away that aspect, I thinkthe songs would suffer overall. Perhaps you just need to become more accustomed to harsh vocals.
@Tibberclaw I suppose it's just a matter of personal preference. I can see why you might feel the way you do with regards to the vocals, but I really don't get that vibe at all. I just wouldn't enjoy Isis as much without them.
@Finq08 My thoughts exactly. They found the perfect equilibrium between density and melody, and the vocals only add to the experience. And when it comes to the abrasive vocals, I can't say that I've ever heard a vocalist match Turner's tone. It's immediately recognizeable.
@TheRoykmann It's the other way around, Magnum Opus, but I agree, this is the track that will define them for decades to come. And the genre they've created for that matter! I hope they get back together, if only for one more album.
@ZEDdotTVtm Jeff. I think he's a little higher than the rest of the guys, especially towards the end. Didn't affect my enjoyment of the performance, though.
Grew up with a lot of progressive rock artists saying magnum opus in interviews, but you're quite right. Latin is an interesting language I have to say, thanks for teaching me something I didn't know! =)
In my opinion, he's one of the best singers of the last 20 years and together with the rhythm section of ISIS... it can only be a good thing man. They wouldn't do it if it didn't work :)
Overall composition of the song is great. Live performance of the song is lacking an entertainment factor: watching requires great patience. Vocals are sub par.
One shouldn't "watch" them perform, one should "experience" the sounds they create.. makes for a bad TH-cam video then, i guess. Kinda like seeing a picture of the grand canyon vs. being there

@@thebigeasy87 JK is a beast. Jesu opened up for two of the shows I saw (they were back to back, Ottawa/Montreal 2007 late February or Early March).
Yeah that was a great show. They really were special to see live and i'm grateful I got to experience them a handful of times.
I have a man-crush on Aaron Turner.
I saw ISIS open for tool in september 06 it was ineffable.
***** i saw them too in htx
you lucky little pooh bear
I did too, my first time seeing them live what an incredible band they are.
I saw them in Syria
SAME!
damn, i started listening to isis two years ago. last show in my town was four years ago. such a bummer i missed this band
:(
i found them when oceanic came out back in 2002. Saw them live at the Grog shop in Cleveland Ohio and it was the best show of my life.. At the time Travis's own mother was running their merch table.
saw them with tool in 06, gorgeous
"Yet under this Mortal Sun, we cannot hide ourselves."
One of my fave lyrics, right there.
Single most fucking awesome thing in TH-cam.
This is fucking awesome! Briliant! Badass quality!
Seen them in Ireland before they broke up, one of the best experiences ever.

"Seven kingdoms couldn't fill the hole she left behind. -Robert Baratheon” - This quote can tell how i feel after ISIS.
These dudes are absolutely fucking brilliant! Been a fan for over ten years and they're music still blows my fucking mind!
Loving Isis since 5 years now. Hope they reunite
Subbree sadly, thats not gonna happen.
+Subbree Now ISIS is a bad name in whole world, imagine if they didn't break up in these days
I just know they will eventually brother!
There will be one in about five years I'm pretty sure.
will happen now my friend, honoring Cave In
I saw them 4 or 5 years ago in a little bar in Atlanta! Amazing show and phenomenal music! Wish they would get back together!
Also named my ball python after the band! ISIS!
Best band I 've ever seen live after the Prodigy (completely different thing)..lol I know it's strange but it's my two top live act s
It's been 5 or 6 years since I discovered ISIS. I still love them to this day. In Fiction is one of my favorites from them
In fiction might be one of the best songs in existence
@@ilyas_elouchihi
Definitely. Panopticon is my favorite album from them
One of the best songs I've ever heard, the last heavy riff is face melting.
our fate lies in fiction
Love the sound of that snare.
My number one of _all_ time right here. In every imaginable way.
PillznarRy same here!

this song gives me chills.
In some unknown place, Ian Curtis is sometimes still present; unpolluted.
all the best metal bands like joy division
Aaron Turner is destroyer of the standart metal music. Aaron Turner is genius.
Yeahs but unfortunately he can be kinda of a Dick also. Hope To see them plays live again
@LumBrave Well we still have Cult of Luna who is even more über-awsome.
What a nice piece of music ! I'd really like to see them live.
you're the best.
perfect sound.
They are one of the few metal bands i really like, a really talented band !
A band can only be this good In Fiction.
Art.
crying
i wanna sleep after this
супер
It never stops amazing me that the best band that ever was is practically unknown to the world

@AstronautJ Yes you may be right. I listened some of their tunes but they didnt impress me as much as ISIS does.
In my opinion, he's one of the best singers of the last 20 years and together with the rhythm section of ISIS... it can only be a good thing man. They wouldn't do it if it didn't work :)
Isis & Zozobra in Hollywood, one of my favorite shows ever!!!!
Awesome and the vocals are great feeling, goosebumps!!
Why I think sound like wild Mogwai? 😁
check out Old Man Goom "Christmas" and you get a nice blend of Cave In, Isis and Converge vocals, great material...
Cult of Luna can't be a patch on ISIS.
@AstronautJ Thanks for the Rosetta. I loved! but ISIS is still number one in this genre :))
@AstronautJ hehe You pointed well. I am going to try the names you've given. Thanks.
Glad I saw them live a few times. And glad they introduced me to Cult of Luna opening up one tour
One song that goes wayyyyyy harder live.
@TheScientista what genre do you think they are other than awesome?
Great song, but bad sound quality for some of the best parts
Ha awesome I have the same Joy Division shirt
As close to an infinite song as there can be.
I hate this lame crowd
I wish there was a reunion tour
This is just powerful
Already classic
damn these boys can PLAY
Wowww
Love ❤️❤️❤️👏
The dvd is awesome
Or Opus Magnum.
so beautiful
生で聴きてえよお
yes sir

love ♥
lol?
OPUS MAGNUM
YTITTI
A rift like Silverchair !is there ! ANd this is good !
Gotta admit, I laughed my ass off at this.
Why?
Overall composition of the song is great. Live performance of the song is lacking an entertainment factor: watching requires great patience. Vocals are sub par.

The band is great until this guy start singing...
This page was great until you started commenting.
Being objective, the guy sings bad, open your ears, or not, stay in delusion
kalpataro music isn't objective moron. fuck you
