*Bump*

I've been listening to Isis all day. In the Absence of Truth and Oceanic are both incredible albums

A shame they're defunct now.

Reviving the thread. Some of ISIS's members did an interview a while ago talking about future projects and the new release of live songs.

Isis

In the Absence of Truth is an incredible album. Shame they split

Wish I'd seen them live - was going to see them in Glasgow a couple weeks after I saw DT, but ended up not going

*bumpity*

So Sigz always hypes In The Absence of Truth as their best album, so I checked it out about a month ago.

Panopticon is like 50 times better.

Kill yourself.

It's so true though.

Thanks for sharing that link.

Oceanic, Panopticon, ITAoT, and WR are all solid albums. I was bummed when I found out they were throwing in the towel. That interview gives me a little bit of hope, knowing that 3 of the guys are planning on writing/recording new music.

ReaperKK · « **Reply #42 on:** August 29, 2011, 07:47:30 PM »

Is that what happened? They just quit?

zxlkho · « **Reply #43 on:** August 29, 2011, 07:48:04 PM »

they were just like "LOL WE TROL U" and called it quits

ISIS has reached an end. It's hard to try to say it in any delicate way, and it is a truth that is best spoken plainly. This end isn't something that occurred over night and it hasn't been brought about by a single cataclysmic fracture in the band. Simply put, ISIS has done everything we wanted to do, said everything we wanted to say. In the interest of preserving the love we have of this band, for each other, for the music made and for all the people who have continually supported us, it is time to bring it to a close.

Worst day of my life.

Bump for recommendation

In the Absence of Truth or Wavering Radiant?

zxlkho · « **Reply #46 on:** September 28, 2011, 11:29:35 AM »

In The Absence of Truth, though Panopticon is better.

Metal · « **Reply #47 on:** September 28, 2011, 01:32:29 PM »

I would start with ITAoT.
Wavering Radiant is very good, but i think ITAoT is more easily digestible for ISIS newcomers.

Sigz · « **Reply #48 on:** September 28, 2011, 01:37:06 PM »

In the Absence of Truth, best album, etc.

Metal · « **Reply #49 on:** November 15, 2011, 01:24:34 PM »

Panopticon - Grinning Mouths

MetalManiac666 · « **Reply #50 on:** November 20, 2011, 10:35:14 PM »

I really need to get to listening to this band's other records. Wavering Radiant is absolutely brilliant.

orcus116 · « **Reply #51 on:** November 20, 2011, 10:36:37 PM »

"Threshold of Transformation" is absolutely amazing. Never hear anyone talk about it, though.

Yes it is. Amazing way to close the album.

faemir · « **Reply #53 on:** November 21, 2011, 12:25:38 PM »

Not in Rivers, but in Drops.

That is all.

I heard Oceanic for the first time today.
mind = blown

crazyaga · « **Reply #56 on:** June 23, 2012, 04:09:32 AM »

heard Panopticon and In the Absence of Truth
I think im falling in love with this band :3

so far, I think Oceanic > Panopticon > In the Absence of Truth

adace · « **Reply #57 on:** June 26, 2012, 01:59:15 AM »

Did you listen to WR yet? That's my favorite Isis album.

crazyaga · « **Reply #58 on:** June 26, 2012, 03:20:25 AM »

yap i heard it. it awesome.

now i think Oceanic = Panopticon (it grew on me) > Wavering Radiant > In the Absence of Truth

adace · « **Reply #59 on:** June 26, 2012, 04:28:40 AM »

Cool. I can live with the ranking you made even though I think WR wins by a hair over Oceanic and Panopticon. But it's all amazing stuff. I still regret not seeing them in 2009 on their final tour. Hoping they reunite soon.

adace · « **Reply #60 on:** April 30, 2013, 08:00:38 PM »

Already posted this in the Deftones thread, might as well post it here. Really great song.

Ah ok, I should have checked before. Thanks.

PixelDream · « **Reply #63 on:** June 26, 2013, 01:28:00 PM »

I'm listening to 'Threshold of Transformation'. Bizarre, they really ended their career with their best, most epic song ever. Or does anybody have something better for me than this song?

ReaperKK · « **Reply #64 on:** June 26, 2013, 08:00:21 PM »

I'm just now going to listen to their last album. I really liked In The Absence of Truth
