I don't understand how anyone with a sense of versatility in metal couldn't like Aaron's growls. They're so primal - raspy and dry. They're a trademark of Isis' sound. Raw and filled with emotion.
Was a big hurdle for me 20 years ago, but I got past it and glad I did. They were a great band. I did like how they used more clean vocals on their later tracks though. The contrast added even more dynamics to the songs.
Still hard to believe they've broken up. Wavering Radiant was such an amazing album, not to take anything away from their others (especially Oceanic and Panopticon), but Radiant had an indefinable quality that seemed like ISIS 2.0, they were on another level on that album and for the live performances.

Incredible.They really nailed it. I would say this is like the Picasso or Da Vinci of metal. I actually had tears welling up in my eyes the first time i heard it.... they did not run down my face just welled up from tragic beauty of it.... i could go on...........
There's something about progressive metal like ISIS and Tool that really makes me feel connected to the universe in a eerie but inspiring way. Tool is my favourite band, but I gotta say ISIS really nails it too. It's one of the most difficult genres to be good at, because it requires a lot of musical skill as well as a lot of mental and creative capacity. I've been trying for years to write progressive songs like these and that of Tool and it's really not easy. 4/4 beat is the easy way out.
it's unfortunate the name of one of my favorite bands is directectly associated with terror. I've loved this music for years, & I hope these guys won't be forgotten or overlooked in years to come, for the ignorance of others.
The name may now be directly related, but what the fuck does it matter if the rest of the world doesn’t care to understand?? Fans will always be fans and Fuck the rest that want to continue to be ignorant, period.
But, they're not directly associated with terror. The band predates the terrorist group and there's no connection. Anyone ignorant enough to confuse the terrorist group with the band (named after the goddess of the moon) is not a person that should ever be listened to.
The video symbolically charts the progression of the band's history. They started out as underground sludge, struggled to make their way forward, not really sure where they were going at first. Eventually, almost by accident, they incorporated a more human component to the music. After this they managed to ooze outwards and upwards, finally breaking through into success. Ties in directly with the record's themes of change and a send-off to the fans and the industry.
I've heard people to compare ISIS to TOOL on many occasions and though both bands create what I call "epic" music, the two bands are on different waves entirely. Isis has perfected the heavy layering sound and, the dynamics that Aaron Turners vocals add to their music is just one way that ISIS differs from TOOL. We all know Maynard has a great voice but he pretty much has to stay in the same range. I respect that ISIS decided to end while they were on top of their game. Their music will remain
Isis videos are constantly great, and indeed they (the band) keep improving. Everything these days is probably a melting pot of something or the other, but Isis really stands out no matter how you define it. Can't wait to see what they do in the future.
been seeing them since the late 90s. They are always a treat! every album is a new journey in sound. Too bad they have called it quits. I heard their last show was amazing!
Huh! Yeah? Nailed it, toasttoasttoast12! I was just thinking that as I was watching this. Stinkfist, anyone? Pretty cool. Well, they toured with Adam and the Toolband, so something was bound to rub off. Miss these guys, real bad. Thanks for posting, ClearingTheEye.
This band gets better and better. Love this video! Some might say it's reminiscent of tool, visually and musically, but no disrespect to tool, i love Isis style so much more.
Of course the Tool Influence is there... but this guys kept evolving every record... and for me, Wavering Radiant is their masterpiece... so sad they disbanded at the very top of the hill... RIP my beloved ISIS!
I hate how everyone acts like tool/maynard was the first band to sing clean over heavy droning metal. I meant they pretty much took that style from Failure and bands before them too.. Tool really started out making metal suitable for the radio... while Isis was already droning atmospheric metal with heavy toms and developing the sound Tool would adopt in later years.
Torally agree cerebral I didnt like the vocals at first but after you keep listening to this band the more and more you realize how amazing this collaboration of artists is truly a one of a kind band and Aaron sounds great live on vocals
On the subject of the types of vocals employed, yelling, clean, etc, I'd have to say Aaron turner does it so beautifully. He uses screams to exibit emotion in the music; to emphasize certain parts of the song, thus adding progressive structure. I do not believe he does it because that's what good little metal bands do. Like slipknot, mudvayne, and whatever other horrible nu metal band you care to compare. It's almost an inescapable fact that Isis are one of the greatest bands of all time.
@EtherealWaves saw mastodon a couple days ago in Guadalajara... dude! they're awesome! Oblivion performance was stunning! I hope I can see Isis live one of these days man...

Agreed, I'd argue his growls are better than Opeth's.
Love their use of ferrofluid in this video
This is a masterpiece and gets better everytime you listen to it.
right.. i fall asleep to it every night on the big speaker. its perfect💔
Agreed
It's my two thousandeth something time now, and I still hear new intricate details.
One of the best bands in history! Especially experienced LIVE! I feel privileged to have seen them LIVE for once!
Saw them open for TOOL bitd
Sad to see this band gone after so many years. Still remember the day this came out
Musical Giants. True Pioneers of music. Thankyou.
May your memory never die. May your song live on. See you on the other side, my musical brethren.

This is art
Wish this band would get back together. Immense!

@@dredhed basically Palms album is Chino + 3 ISIS guys
@@statom985I've heard a few Palms toonz, think I liked SUMAC more. I'll relisten though🔥💀🔥
I wish 💜 Old man gloom is sick, though!
Such a beautiful song. Isis means so much to many and will live on forever for all of us...
One of the best bands I've ever experienced live. They triggered a neuron somewhere. I have remained a dedicated listener.
This is absolutely beautiful.
TWIN.
ARTERIES.
FLOW.
WITH THE.

OF ONE.
MIGHTY.
HEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAART!

I play in hardcore band and Seriously isis is my big influence when i write a lyric. I miss isis.
What's your band man?
@@Auselesspileoffleshim assuming holy tears cause thats what his username is
The lyrics are a stunning example of free form poetry and thought, truly enlightened through music.
ISIS please dont break up, you music is revolutionary pluse i never got to see you guys live =(
Tendrils extend from the cloudy black mass
They slither and slide through the ones and zeroes
Prophecy of collapse unfolds
Last grains of sand spiral down the hole
Chance has graced me with a gift
Grasp at gold before dark descends
Sun beats down and panic reigns
In this time of ending
Eyes shut, feet bare
For this journey, I'm unprepared
I walk on
Sight renewed
Seek new life
I seek new life
Walk
On
Seeking her the one
I wish to see
She wanders the outerlands
From the grasp of wolves I will pluck her
Twin arteries flow with the pulse
Of one mighty heart
This was the song that got me into Isis, incredible, just incredible.
Damn...Aaron's clean singing has just gotten better. I love the way the bass just sorta oozes into the beginning of the song too-just awesome!
10/5
Amazing. Best band to come out in the past 10 years.
so beautiful💔
Definitely one of of the best Bands in the last decade! Wish i could have see them live :(
R.I.P Isis!!!
Known this band for years and only just seen this splendor
Awesome & Magnificent.
this is the most bad ass music vid I've seen in YEARS.
Incredible.They really nailed it. I would say this is like the Picasso or Da Vinci of metal. I actually had tears welling up in my eyes the first time i heard it.... they did not run down my face just welled up from tragic beauty of it.... i could go on...........
I saw Isis at bonnaroo this year. I'm glad I saw them before they split.
Still !
🧨🫶
I had this on the car stereo when driving through freezing fog in rural Oregon. It kept me from freaking out.
I'm watching the world fall apart and this is the perfect soundtrack.
love acoustic version too
Awesome song! "Twin arteries flow with the pulse of one mighty heart." great lyrics too.
masterful, a masterpiece
I wish they had more videos. Awesome visuals

It's stupid they chose to make the terrorist group after ISIS, which is actually originally the Egyptian Goddess of creation.
incredible performance in Portugal...hail!!!!!
This album is so fantastic to study to!
best song on that record

One of the best uses of ferrofluids I've seen in a video. Great song and fantastic band.

The heavy screaming makes it even cooler. It adds depth by putting the two contrasting sounds together.
excellent video! They get better and better with each album, really talented and unique musicians. Can't wait to see them live in the US.

Every single part of is amazing and fits perfectly into the song's structure, but 4:27 is simply transcendent.
Man, im gonna miss them...
Hope to hear new sounds from one of the most favorite band.
R.I.P ISIS.
Can´t wait to see this guys!!! February 15th!!!
That will be my first time seeing them live... Great video by the way!
Also, this is hands down the best music video I've seen in ages.
This is DEFINITELY one to watch while trippin. On my list for sure.

This is my first experience with Isis. Wow, im blown away!
Been searching for this for years... 👌🏼
this band is amazing.
just found out about them this year.
can't wait to go to bonnaroo to see them.
This band gets better and better. Love this video! Some might say it's reminiscent of tool, visually and musically, but no disrespect to tool, i love Isis style so much more.
Thanks for the recommendation, these guys are great.
the first thing that struck me about the video was how similar it looks to a Tool video. this is glorious, and it's Isis; fantastic band.
I'd love to see a Tool video done this way. I think you're visions off, but hearts in the right place.
this song is SOOO Good. for reals. and the video is super trippy and provocative. good job!
they bring their music to life
Just beautiful...

I sure do miss them...
Amazing song, amazing video.
A nice mix of music and imagery indeed. I just got into Isis this year and the gagillion side projects they're involved in.
Great band I shall look in to them..
Najlepszy zespół post-metalowy.Tylko szkoda że już zakończyli swoją działalność.Pozostała po nich pustka.Trudno jest zastąpić takich mistrzów.
Best video i've ever seen in my life!
Amazing Director...wow just 🔥
best song on the album, great video.
Good piece of music!
ISIS brought me here...
I miss this band
My head actually exploded just as the song ended. I'm replying to you without a head.
so sick. they never cease to amaze me.
I like the uneasy effect that this song gives me.
I love this band.
Really cool video. I think of being trapped in some erratic void of the Earth; then finally escaping from it at the end of the video--enlightening.
Fantastic video
@EtherealWaves saw mastodon a couple days ago in Guadalajara... dude! they're awesome! Oblivion performance was stunning! I hope I can see Isis live one of these days man...
FERROFLUID!

Director's masterpiece.
beautiful..
That was the first thing I thought!! Just makes me want to make the stuff all the more. Time to do some online shopping >:)
Awesome song

Tendrils..... Extend.... from the cloudy black mass
They slither and slide through the ones and zeroes
Prophecy of collapse unfolds
Last grains of sand spiral down the hole

Chance has graced me with a gift
Grasp at gold before dark (....) descends
Sun beats down and panic Reigns
In this time of ending...

Seeking her the one

She wanders the outerlands
From the grasp of wolves
I will pluck her
Twin arteries flow with the pulse
Of one mighty heart
