I first encountered ISIS onstage. They were the opening act for a Dillinger Escape Plan & Candiria concert. I figured that ISIS would sound somewhat akin to Dillinger. Was I surprised! ISIS sludged across the stage and made me think that I had somehow mistakenly entered a NEUROSIS concert. They would not look at the crowd or speak to the crowd and they simply jammed heavy, heavy, riffs accompanied by tormented vocals, sporadic samples (and sound effects), and stick-destroying drumming (culminating in the drummer pounding without sticks). They are not nearly as heavy on disc, but this disc still slays. It trudges along at a nice doom-core pace (a la Neurosis) and it is filled with tortured vox. ISIS even toss in a few samples (sound to be from a movie) that help escalate the listener's paranoia. I would suggest this disc to all fans of Neurosis.

First of all, these guys are nothing like Dillinger Escape Plan. However, Neurosis comparisons are valid. Both bands rock the mid-tempo and represent with long, repetitive songs. I love both bands and in my opinion the difference between them is a matter of non-stop brutality vs textured composition. Isis comes at you head on with crazy chuggchuggachugga stylings that make you want to break stuff. Neurosis has that brutality but they'll mix it up with some other tricks now and then. If you don't own any Neurosis or Isis, I recommend both wholeheartedly.
it's a shame this is the only ISIS they have on amazon... August 30, 2000

becuase out of this, their newest full length "celestial", their older ep "mosquito control", and the sawblade ep, this is my least favorite isis release.however, it's still awesome. ignore the guy who said these guys sound like the dillinger escape plan, if anything, they're the opposite. instead of every song being a race to see which band member can finish the song first, isis attack you by SLOWLY building up mammoth riffs until they reach the point of impact and then release a wall of sound. every person on the planet seems to compare these guys to neurosis, but there is no way neurosis (although a GREAT band) could ever make something as heavy as these guys. this album is still great just because of the title track, which is one of the heaviest songs i've ever heard in my life. buy this cd, then buy the rest of their stuff and say to yourself "wow, this is even better than the red sea". if you like this, i'd say check out neurosis (if you haven't already!), ire, and bloodlet.
Everything ISIS does is Good July 12, 2000

This is Isis' third relase and its not as good as i would have expected, its too short. The first 3 tracks are the new stuff whereas the last 4 are from they're orginal demo from 97 or 98 (which makes this album worth getting) the 3 tracks are good, especially the title track. the demo songs are wonderful but the production is bad. i would have to recommend getting their second ep, mosquito control from escape artist records. anyway this album is not they're best but still excellent.
