Such amazing music. Listened to these guys as a teenager, and just revisited all of these albums as an adult. Still absolutely wonderful. True talent here. While I'm sad they're gone, I'm happy they got the "dignified death" they wanted. Every album was amazing, and they called it quits before the music went to shit. Respect.
An essential band to make you live... Forget all the shit in the world, and focus on what really matters. In what is pure and true...follow your path, become what you are, and be inspired by real art. I booo to you ISIS one of the best bands I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. Probably my favorite post metal band of all time.
To this day I still remember driving to work in early 2001 hating life. Listening to celestial on the way and it at least put a smile on my face for the start of my work day. Crazy how you can remember small details like that.
My first ever show was seeing this band play this album live in a small club in 2001. Their show was the moment I decided to become a musician. It changed me that much. All these years later, in 2020, I still make music. This show changed my life forever. It was at the flywheel in easthampton MA during a snowstorm. The show was packed anyways. Every single person in the crowd banged their head. The power and volume was undeniable. I will die loving this band.
Everyone blows up about Oceanic but this was their greatest album. I saw them play these songs live at CBGBs; the crowd was extremely brutal. One of the best shows I have ever seen.
To each their own, but I mean I think the band thought Oceanic was their favorite as well. For the remastered version they left "We've saved the best for last. The re-mastered reissue of our 2002 album "Oceanic" will be out November 4th. This version will also include new packaging. Enjoy a preview below" On their Facebook. Oceanic is my favorite album by them followed by Wavering Radiant.
***** You just haven't submerged yourself in the depth of their musical ideas after Oceanic. All their other albums took many listens, but when I finally understood them, it was musically rewarding. ITAOT and Wavering Radiant are among my favorite albums ever personally.
This album is excellent for the more "immediate" listener: Its catchy riffs and rhythmic drums make it instantly gratifying. I feel like their subsequent records required time from the listener, and that's why a lot of fans regard most of what came after as being a step down. They didn't get that instant rush the first few times they heard it, and probably never overcame their initial disappointment. As far as I'm concerned, they were at the top of their game around the Oceanic/Panopticon period. If you can afford them the time, I think they prove to be a much more fulfilling listen than even your best Celestial sitting.
davethehostage Eh, I feel this album is as intricate as the others and I wouldn't call it catchy. This album was going in a different direction than most of their other pieces. But yeah I agree Oceanic and Panopticon were the best. They considered Panopticon a "failure" but I thought they did well with it instrumentally. Celestial does a better job of conveying the message of destruction of privacy than Panopticon though. It feels more painful and urgent on Celestial.
Black holes are rather a result of implosion of matter because of gravitational collapse. Theoretically, it is possible for a black hole to explode, then it would be called a white hole though. Great album by the way.
Rob Chapman Hey Rob... can I have one of those sweet Ghostfrets of yours? May not help with my interpretation of the on-goings in deep space, but... ;)
First time I heard Gentle Time I was on alot of opiates and I legitimately cried because it was so good. No other band has been able to pull that kind of emotion from me besides early EARTH.
Why have I never given this much chance to such a massive band, this sound was so before it's time, crunchy and downtuned, the me of 10 years ago would have loved discovering this
Without a doubt this is one of their greatest works, such an amazing trip. I wish the final guitar riffs in Celestial (The Tower) could go on forever.. (9.22 to 10.08)
@@different2261 Do you mean "technically" better, or what? I keep seeing comments listing metal bands that are "better" than Isis like it is some kind of competition. This isn't the f*cking Olympics.

@@different2261 Fair enough. I am not saying you are wrong about those other bands being great live and all that, but there are many people that would give the same reasons for why Isis are the greatest they have ever seen live. People experience things differently based on where they are at that point in their life. If you are talking about Isis not replicating their songs perfectly live every time then that is your own personal preference on how you expect musicians and bands to conduct themselves. Personally I don't mind when an artist plays songs slightly different live. Sometimes I think it actually makes the song more interesting BECAUSE of that slight difference in notes or whatever. Even if it is a mistake, it shows you that they are really doing it live in front of you and makes it that much more raw and visceral. You can always hear the studio recordings at home anytime you want; the live versions SHOULD be a little different imo. I have never seen Isis live btw, but I adore all of the live albums they have put out, despite any imperfections..
@@PlaysWithChildren I don't mind too when the pitch or notes are not the exact same. But when it comes to one of biggest riff of one of the biggest songs of one of the biggest album...

It' s something, not comparable I agree, but I answered your own "the best live band ever period" with these, since I'm also a "#1 isis fan" (I have some of them vinyls you'll never find on discogs)
Wasn't a fan of this album at first, having worked backwards through their discography. It's grown on me a lot though, to the point that I'm putting it on more often than their other work these days.
Despite it being of the older adolescent era of my musical interests, this album (and ISIS as a whole) retains an essence that is unmatched by ANY band in my catalogue. They are truly unique and will be forevor missed.
This album is AMAZING workout music. Especially for chest day. Nothing gets the blood flowing quite like a mix of dread, urgency, and anger like Swarm Reigns.
They toured this album opening for Neuroses on the east coast, it's how I found these dudes. Absolutely amazing crushing show both bands put on, it's hen Neuroses still had their visual show as a focal point and were playing a ton of Enemies of the Sun songs
this album comes in phases for me. i bought it on a whim one day, never having heard the band before, only vaguely heard of them, and immediately fell in love. i'll listen to it all day every day for like 2 months, then promptly forget about it for like 6, then pick it up again, etc... never really listened to the other albums at all. this one album is enough i guess
Meaches Peaches You should give some of thr other albums a try. other than this my personal favorites are Panopticon ( though I may be a little biased because that is the album that got me into the band) and In the Absence of Truth. Both albums are more mellow, but definitely have their heavy points.
I didn't know they had released this album I've pretty much heard every ISIS album except for this one And I gotta say Null IMO this is the best ISIS album Thanks for the upload!
The best! Their last show in Seattle with Tombs was amazing. I love that, "crushing waves of sonic transcendence just fucking burying me."! I think Matt's got a point about Panopticon though, especially. All great, moving music! And only 3,000 listens, has the world gone mad?
+segaprophet It's a great album, just not my favorite since I grew very fond of their early work in the beginning. That however doesn't remove anything from TAOT.
ISIS is an awesome group for sure...if you are looking for more artists like them try the group that had to be a huge influence on them...GODFLESH! when you do make sure you start at their oldest albums and work forward. from there check out JESU, SLEEP, AND PITCHSHIFTER. all are great bands that have big time similarities to ISIS and haven't been mentioned here.
And Cult of Luna, Callisto, Bossk, Amenra, Russian Circles, Pelican, etc. I wouldn't say Sleep are much like Isis, Sleep are really the ultimate stoner metal band imo, whereas Isis are the ultimate Post-metal (orwhatever) band. Both are awesome though, of course.
Check out Fear Factory's first album "Soul Of A New Machine" all their work is great but their first album is basically Industrial Death Metal Whereas the rest of their work is more Industrial Groove metal and strait forward Industrial, some nu metal thrown in on Digimortal as well.
That throaty gutsy yelling has never really been my cup of tea. Yet I don't understand how I was able not to notice ISIS back in the days. Thank you dear interwebs for coming up if interesting shit from time to time.
i agree whole-heartedly. Isis was always a good band, but they never, in my eyes, topped this album. It has the subtle aesthetic to be considered a work of art, the great riffs to be heavy/fun as shit, and the balls to be what they are with no hint of trying to appeal to a broader audience that this kind of music went through a few years ago.
No, trust me, I very much have experienced each and every one of their albums as a whole. And they are very amazing records. But they fail to hit me the way this one does and always will. There's a brutal transcendence to Celestial that none of the other albums have.
The screams are so epic, I just luv it ! Does anyone know how many units ISIS could sell and how successfull they was? I'm just curious about if such music is only known in the underground or could they reach a greater mass.
Corpses2Dinner They peaked around 10 years ago, & their music began to grow & develop, becoming more melodic & yet, not losing ANY of the galactic might that, which they held back through song structure & unleashed in ever more precise ways. In what could be one of music's classiest splits, simply decided to no longer continue on together & pursue other projects, for instance : managing Hydra Head records ( who's roster overflows with incredible bands, far too awesome for the moronstream ) & working with Tool on the last two recordings.
Can someone share the remastered version of this album with me plz? I've bought the first press because I liked the front cover more but when I put my remastered Oceanic album in after Celestial, I always realise how enormous the sound quality difference really is. This album is too good to be heard with low record quality.
There’s no band exactly like ISIS unfortunately. They were unique in their delivery of crescendo. Especially this album. Nothing quite like Celestial’s rawness. Some bands to take a look at: Cult of Luna Neurosis Russian Circles Old Man Gloom Pelican (a much more tame ISIS) If These Trees Could Talk Caspian (one of my favorites) Explosions in the Sky God is an Astronaut
+The Crows Nest AHhAHhAhAAA!!!! I didn't even need to click on the time you linked to know what part of the album you were cussing in shock over. That's one of the coolest, meanest, most brutal passages on any album... on every album ever recorded. First time I heard it I was totally shocked, not only that they would have the nerve to do that, but that they pulled it off so incredibly well.
Okay, I swore I replied to this comment, but you definitely need to listen to Don Caballero 2. The entire album is just like that portion. To say that album is innovative is an understatement.
May Jesus bless your life he's the life not death, he's the light not darkness. He's your salvation and he's brings you everlasting peace!! Bleh im fucking Around just repeating what a preacher once told me

Dude! Sol Eye Sea...I love Irepress... wish I had that album cover as a whole wall... been a year since you posted so you may never see this ha ha but anyway... so few people know of Irepress, I had to comment on your pic.
That would be epic... I always said I would love to see Cloudkicker and Tool together... If you haven't heard Cloudkicker, I think you would like them.
this album is going on my phone,,,,,im looking for more sludgy bands but whith psychedelic dust over it ,,,like mastodon and maybe neurosis ,any sugestions

So true. I caught their last show too. Burned into my memory forever
That's just a sorry excuse for "I quit because it's too hard to top our other albums". That's the truth. Not that it would be easy to do anyway
Not sure if you know but they reunited under the name Celestial & played at the Caleb Scofield tribute show this october. Hope they will carry on!!

I went to an isis show once at a pizza parlor in denver. The pit was brutal, i watched people get thrown vertically into ceiling. Was epic

belíssimo
What an album
It sounds like someone angrily typing on a keyboard at the beginning of Celestial The tower
Listening to this and loving it, next up CZcams recommends counting crows. Wtf CZcams?
Power.
11:14 that part is such a good driving song. Oh man. ☑️☺️🤟
I just loved the sound of this album! Does any one know of artists/albums (besides ISIS) that share Celestial's amazing sound?
Aaron Turner has a new project called SUMAC that very heavy hitting, more like this than the other ISIS albums.
Something about this reminds me of VOD.
Oceanic is probably my favorite. Shit all their stuff is so gradifying! Panopticon is Killer, as well!

I don't know about sales but I'm sure they were a big enough in the metal scene.
They are for sure the biggest name in post metal genre.
Corpses2Dinner theyve been around for so long ! ive seen them with tool , it was amazing
tylr grey
ISIS and TOOL, two of the best !
Corpses2Dinner They peaked around 10 years ago, & their music began to grow & develop, becoming more melodic & yet, not losing ANY of the galactic might that, which they held back through song structure & unleashed in ever more precise ways. In what could be one of music's classiest splits, simply decided to no longer continue on together & pursue other projects, for instance : managing Hydra Head records ( who's roster overflows with incredible bands, far too awesome for the moronstream ) & working with Tool on the last two recordings.
Warrior Poet Hasnt Hydra Head shut down?
And what kind of work are they doing with Tool?
OH. MY....
Can someone share the remastered version of this album with me plz?
I've bought the first press because I liked the front cover more but when I put my remastered Oceanic album in after Celestial, I always realise how enormous the sound quality difference really is.
This album is too good to be heard with low record quality.
Corpses2Dinner Why would you want to change a masterpiece? Keep it original
Change? A remaster is no change, it's just a much clearer and also louder sound. That's it.
Группа Супер!!!!!э
Do you ever get the feeling that you’re sinking??? I DO!!!
Based band based album...
Hey Dave.. I was curious/ what sing starts at 10:41? If you could please. Also.. any lyrics to these? ❤
I hope none of my friends would misinterprete their band name bc i absolutly love their music
If you're worried that your friends will misinterpret the band's name, than that's probably what's going to happen.
@@joshuacoleman8000 They just need to find better friends.
killer.
11:23 that’s ffffff heavy shhhhh
listen to the band SMAR SW album ,, samobojstwo"
Can anyone suggest similar music to this? Doesn't matter if it has vocals or not. Always looking for more!
There’s no band exactly like ISIS unfortunately. They were unique in their delivery of crescendo. Especially this album. Nothing quite like Celestial’s rawness.
Some bands to take a look at:
Cult of Luna
Neurosis
Russian Circles
Old Man Gloom
Pelican (a much more tame ISIS)
If These Trees Could Talk
Caspian (one of my favorites)
Explosions in the Sky
God is an Astronaut
26:54 FUCK
+The Crows Nest AHhAHhAhAAA!!!! I didn't even need to click on the time you linked to know what part of the album you were cussing in shock over. That's one of the coolest, meanest, most brutal passages on any album... on every album ever recorded. First time I heard it I was totally shocked, not only that they would have the nerve to do that, but that they pulled it off so incredibly well.
Okay, I swore I replied to this comment, but you definitely need to listen to Don Caballero 2. The entire album is just like that portion. To say that album is innovative is an understatement.
May Jesus bless your life he's the life not death, he's the light not darkness. He's your salvation and he's brings you everlasting peace!! Bleh im fucking Around just repeating what a preacher once told me
10:37 🤟🤛fffff gnarly🤛

Something like that
Dude! Sol Eye Sea...I love Irepress... wish I had that album cover as a whole wall... been a year since you posted so you may never see this ha ha but anyway... so few people know of Irepress, I had to comment on your pic.
Ramzi Aaron Yeah absolutely, maybe one day Isis will reunite and then Irepress could do a tour with them
That would be epic... I always said I would love to see Cloudkicker and Tool together... If you haven't heard Cloudkicker, I think you would like them.
Ramzi Aaron What's your favorite record from them?
10:37 woah.
this album is going on my phone,,,,,im looking for more sludgy bands but whith psychedelic dust over it ,,,like mastodon and maybe neurosis

Russian Circles
Kylesa
SUMAC
