Elaborate on there style.

I have their Oceanic and Celestial albums and they are a pretty impressive band. Aaron Turner (Hydra Head records boss, I think) is the creative force behind them. Their style is sort of like prog metal, or something like that - kind of like Tool but they're slightly different. Needless to say, if you like Tool, Darko, I think you'll like Isis. Cult Of Luna have been compared to Isis but I saw CoL supporting DEP and they were nowhere near as good as Isis.

I love Tool. I'll be sure to check them out.

Huh, who.

Prog metal? Yuck. Not my thing, guys.

Fuck, I've listened to nothing (and I mean nothing) but Oceanic for the past two weeks. Awesome album.

Anyway, has anybody got Panopticon? If so how does it compare to Oceanic?

__________________

I've only heard Panopticon. And it's very good.

i like panopticon, i dont like oceanic, but i dont REALLY like either.

__________________

So I take it that Panopticon is markedly different from Oceanic?

__________________

Panopticon is awesome!! You must buy this

Fuck all the newer releases. Ok they are good sorry, but it's all about the "Mosquito Control" EP. Especially the song Hive Destruction

__________________

I'm definatly digging them. Been listening to Panopticon all day - good call John!

I'm not sure how'd I would discribe them, though. They've got a combination of alot of the best elements of great bands. Almost a metal version of Explosions in the Sky (who'd I recommend to anyone that enjoys Isis), a blend of Godspeed (with the long drawn out jam sessions), and a hint of the later heavy psychedelic Tool spice but at the same time, nothing like the above mentioned at all.

Any band compared to Explosions in the Sky and GY!BE are automatically at least pretty good. Check out Set Fire to Flames, Dylan. I'll send you some if you IM me.

I have Panopticon. It got rave reviews last year, and was hailed as one of the best albums of the year. Still ranks #1 for me.

Panopticon is, IMO, better than Oceanic...its more chilled yet more tense. Wills Disolve is an incredible song.
But Celestial is their best. Fucking brilliant album as im sure your aware.

For those of you that enjoy a little noise try the Isis/Merzbow EP.

I only have Panopticon and I like it very much.

Thanks for the input folks, I shall be purchasing Panopticon in the not too distant future.

cant wait for this. although i think the new song is sounding a little bit like tool, interesting seeing as though they're playing together...

__________________

Ahh, I can't wait. Sounds pretty good, but I don't hear much Tool in it. Isis are an incredible band.

__________________

Woah, I wasn't expecting a new album to hit until late next year. This is very good news indeed, especially since Isis are definitely in my top 3 or 4 bands of all time.

__________________

Just heard the new album,very good as expected

__________________

I can't wait for this - even more than the new Suffocation, I reckon.

__________________

Way more. I'm seeing them friday with Tool. Better yet, its at the Staples Center which is an arena with MASSIVE sound.
