ISIS are legendary. This album almost feels like a hidden gem sometimes. I often pair them together with Pelican, even though the latter are instrumental

Panopticon is an amazing album, you should definitely give it a try Bryan! One of the distinct things about ISIS imo is the amount of keyboards and also the type of keyboards they use. There's lots of organ besides synths. The band went on a more experimental vibe after this, before disbanding.

Post Metal is kind of like the 'chill beats to study to' of metal. If you ever revisit Russian Circles, I would recommend one of their studio recordings. A lot of the subtle changes they're layering can often get lost in their live recordings because their tones are quite aggressive and harsh at times. Their music is often very drone like because of how they perform them, using loop pedals to lay down a foundation and then adding more layers on top. The song Mota does a good job of blending their softer, more melodic side with their heavier more aggressive stuff.

This album is in my top 3 albums of all time! The closing track, 'Grinning Mouths', is the epic to end all epics!

I terms of ending abruptly, the whole album has an ambient backing that doesn't stop, played by the keyboard/guitarist Bryant Clifford Meyer, while the rest of the band go in and out of the respective sections for each individual song. The only real pause is for the final song, which starts with a drum pattern.

Great song and the whole album is my favorite by them. Pretty sure that was a lap steel creating that dissonance. Found the request spreadsheet and added an underrepresented band called Zebulon Pike: an instrumental, primarily studio band thats like if Black Sabbath and King Crimson and Richard Wagner has a baby (progressive doom?). Cheers and keep up the awesome reactions!

This album was the soundtrack to my life for many years. Absolute masterpiece, every song, every moment…

Neurosis - "Through Silver in Blood" is the definitive post-metal song IMO.

Third opinion here: I neither overly like nor dislike Palms.

Initially I wasn't straight up able to connect to this band and album, but after listening to it like 3 or 4 times it really grew on me VERY quickly, to a point where I'd even go as far and say this has become my favorite album of all time, despite being a huge Tool and Opeth (pre-2011) fan. "So did we" keeps making me cry when I focus listening to it, not because it makes me sad, but just for the perfection and beauty of it. I never found a band that so absolutely perfectly knows for how long to keep repeating a part, only ever so slightly adding nuances to it. After getting hooked so much (btw. "Oceanic", the predecessor album, is also great, it also features two longer tracks), I've spent years finding similar stuff, as I did with Tool and Opeth because at the time either the band hadn't released anything for a very long time (Tool, only last year they released "Fear Inoculum" after 13 years of waiting for new Tool music), or they had quit doing what I loved so much (Opeth dropped the contrastive deathmetal part after 2008). Here's what you need to listen to if you really liked Isis: "Huldra - A Signal Permeates The Sky", "Huldra - Ursidae", "Huldra - Thousands Of Eyes", "Ghost Brigade - Deliberately", "Psychonaut - Celestial Dictator", "Rosetta - Soot", "Rosetta - In & Yo/Dualities of the Way", "Rosetta - Ayil", "Exquirla - Europa Muda", "Being as an Ocean - It's really not as complicated as you're making it out to be", "Being as an Ocean - Thorns", "Cult of Luna - Eternal Kingdom". Huldra was a really great band, I haven't found anything that comes about as close to Panopticon/Oceanic-Isis as they did. Unfortunately they disbanded due to lack of commercial success back in 2016. Their bandcamp page gives away all their music for free.

I strongly recommend Mouth of the Architect, specially the album called The ties that blind. My fav song over there is No one wished to settle here. Truly Beautiful Post Metal

Hell yeah. Isis is one of my favorite bands, and they do the whole "repetition with variation" thing better than any other post-metal group. Their production is fantastic too, so easy to get lost in all the little sonic details. If you liked this you would definitely like their other work. They never drastically changed their sound, but with each album they slowly got more and intricate and texture-dense. Their earlier stuff is sludgy and crushing and their later stuff is more melodic and less repetitious. This album (Panopticon) is considered their best along with Oceanic, but they never released a bad record.

Omg yes, someone listening to ISIS! I have never actually met anyone else that also enjoy ISIS and their work! Panopticon is full of great pieces!

Russian Circles and Celeste are more the outliers in the genre. ISIS, Neurosis, Cult of Luna, The Ocean, Rosetta, Light Bearer etc are more closely reflective of Post-Metal, basically what you've heard here. Cult of Luna perhaps a little on the sludgy side.

Glad you enjoyed it, I think it's fair to say this is very archetypal of Isis in general and I would recommend Threshold of Transformation should you want to try something more in a similar vein of theirs. Isis together with Cult of Luna and Neurosis definitely constitutes the pantheon of Post-Metal and I've heard people jokingly state that every other Post-Metal band is just choosing one of the three to imitate. Though you expressed feeling somewhat mixed about enjoying Post-Metal after having listened to Russian Circles and Celeste I think it's fair to say that given your glowing praise for Cult of Luna (and The Ocean which would be another band in that third of the Post-Metal spectrum) and warm reception for this other third, that it's likely a genre in large parts up your alley. Real curious about your reaction to Neurosis and thus final Post-Metal pillar tomorrow, even though they are clearly a major inspiration for Celeste and Russian Circles. This is because they are by far the most varied of the three and so I think your reaction will vary wildly depending on whether you react to one of their sludgier heavy tracks or one of their mellower introspective ones (which I enjoy vastly more).

so glad you liked this one, they are dear to my heart. please react to Jonathan Hultén - The Mountain. Beautiful and dense vocal harmonies with acoustic guitar, absolutely gorgeous

I feel you, I love post-metal bands like Cult Of Luna, Isis, Neurosis, Amenra, and Rosetta but never really got into stuff like Russian Circles. I completely get what you mean by bands feeling like they're "standing still", I'm fine with slow or repetitive parts in post-metal but they have to build up to some sort of crescendo to keep me interested and I think Isis and Cult Of Luna pull that off really well. If it's just slow the whole song and doesn't really build up to anything, or takes way too long to build up to something, I get kind of bored. The ending in this song perfectly represents what I love about the Isis / Cult Of Luna style of post-metal, both bands usually keep the same repetitive melody throughout the song but experiment with it so much that each section sounds completely different, and the riffs will get heavier over time.

FAV SONG FROM FAV BAND

Can't wait for the Neurosis reaction. My favourite metal band ever.

Btw, when it comes to Russian Circles, to me the greatest track they've done is "Harper Lewis" on the "Station" album. With any instrumental bands, there's rarely any stuff that I can keep coming back to due to the lack of singing. Harper Lewis is on my playlist, though.

Also just wanna add seeing them live is like a whole other level of amazing !!! Luckily I got to see em twice before they called it 🔥🔥

Haven't clicked play yet but gotta say this is one of my more highly anticipated reactions and happy it's this track. Post-listen (lol): Glad you enjoyed this one more. I do agree that it's the little extra things they do with their composition that puts them a cut above most Post-Metal bands. Do yourself a favor and listen to this whole album it's a masterpiece. Each track does flow into the next but idk if I'd go as far to say it's meant to be listened as a single track. This track is pretty typical of the band's sound I'd say. I can't speak on Celeste but I feel like with Russian Circles they tend to do either heavy tracks or softer tracks and don't mix the styles a ton. So you got one of their heavy tracks. I do enjoy both styles but not as much as I enjoy ISIS.

Turner, when asked to define Isis, described their sound as "avant-garde, drone-oriented rock, but that doesn't completely cover the bases".[50] At the same time, he is reticent about settling on one label exclusively, and steers away from the use of specific genre labels - "'heavy, atmospheric, droning, post-epic, post-metal, shoegazer blah blah blah.'"[11] When asked how he reacts to being asked to define Isis' sound, he admits "I never know what to say. I'm almost afraid of perpetuating a new tag."[51] Likewise, he also describes their music using a slightly more open-ended tag: as "thinking man's metal";[45] however, this tag refers to the intellectual elements behind the music, as opposed to exclusively aural ones. - ISIS (band) Wikipedia

Dulcinea by Isis The side projects that came from Isis are also pretty rad

Ok you listened to ISIS, next is Neurosis after that you must continue with Rosetta (Galilean Satellites or Wake/Lift). Ps: still waiting for a Night Verses reaction :)

Glad you finally got around to them.

I guess there’s so much variety in many genres because a large part of their definitions is history/geography - where the genre comes from. Weird how I really liked Celeste but find ISIS pretty boring. I’ve tried them out before and this is how I remember them. Now Neurosis, however, are one of my favorites. Looking forward to tomorrow :)

When I mentioned Post-Metal I loved I forgot about Isis. For whatever reason I don't associate them with post-metal because I got into them around the time of Panopticon in '04 before I'd ever heard the term post-metal, so to me they were just their own brand of metal. Anyway, they're definitely awesome and close with Cult of Luna for my favorites in the genre. Oceanic and Panopticon are both masterpieces that deserve to be heard in their entirety. Funny you talking about pushing the limits of repetitive, droning music as I'm tempted to recommend Sunn O))) but I feel like I'd just be trolling you.

Glad you liked Isis! I'd suggest you check out the entire Panopticon album by them, it's a very emotional ride and it's also a concept album so quite something to sink your teeth in. It's an abstract one with no actual story to follow, which I find quite amazing and challenging, and it does a fantastic job with its theme imo. P. S. Check the Swans out.

Check out Rosetta - Departe From one of my favorite post metal album along with this ISIS album.

ISIS were masters at weaving complexity out of simplicity. You can take any one part and isolate it and see its not crazy in the slightest. But you combine all parts and it becomes a layered, deep, compelling piece of music. If you want more ISIS listen to Garden Of Light.

I had a feeling you'd you'd enjoy this. I'm curious how you'll react to Neurosis, as I find them to be much more primitive (not a value statement, BTW). I still think Russian Circles merits another listen. In fact, I propose a Second Chances week. Take the highly requested bands that didn't work for you, look back through recommendations and then compare that to their top song on Spotify. I bet it aligns pretty close... Or just do Youngblood. Yeah, you should do Youngblood.

I feel you should give Cult of Luna a third try. You were blown away by the first track and I feel like you had an adverse reaction to the second one mainly because your expectations were raised quite a bit from Julie's singing. Taken on its merits, you'd enjoy their buildups quite a bit, they're not dissimilar to Isis's. Also, after this one, I'm kinda looking forward to a proper round of Doom Metal, the one you did was not representative at all. 12 by Katatonia, Antithesis of Light By Evoken, Godether by Mourning beloveth are all great examples of very different takes on the slow, heavy droning plod that is doom.

Cult of Luna are the best of the genre, I thought this back in the mid 2000s and slowly as their discography became masterpiece after masterpiece I see more people agreeing with me. They're just way more epic and darker and better musicians and artists than the others(not that the others are clowns, just COL are something special). I hope you react to older Cult of Luna, some of the heaviest and darkest shit you'll ever heard. The song Genesis from their second album is so fucking heavy. Then Vague Illusions from Salvation has one of the most perfect second halves of a song ever. Finland from Somewhere along the highway has one of the most emotional passages you'll hear in music. You can slowly hear the evolution whilst not sacrificing the heaviness and darkness. Oceanic by ISIS was a big deal when it came out in musical circles, the critical acclaim was everywhere and the follow up was also highly acclaimed but not for being a monumental game changer like Oceanic even though it has So Did We which I think is their best songs and one of the great epic metal songs.
