I never said it had been revolutionary. I doub't you'll find anywhere where I said it has been. I just said that you can't say it has or hasn't either way.

I can say unequivocally that it hasn't been revolutionary. It hasn't inspired any other bands, and it takes no new approaches to the production involved in punk music. They've done nothing that wasn't done by Sex Pistols thirty three years ago.
Bands like Glassjaw, Enter Shikari, NOFX, Bring Me The Horizon. Those are revolutionary.

It's been out for under a year. You can't judge that yet. And I didn't realise the Sex Pistols used extensive String Sections in their albums. Or many other punk bands for that matter.
:lol::lol: @ BMTH being revolutionary...

They didn't use string sections, they used orchestral samples. It's been done.
BMTH themselves aren't revolutionary, but the production used in their last album was.

So the Producers and Engineers were revolutionary, not BMTH. Probably should have said that. (Y) What was revolutionary btw?

Fredrik Nordström used some interesting techniques on the guitars on that album, it was also the first album recorded on Tools 8.

Funny, The guitars on Suicide Season struck me as very Muddy, the tone was horrible.

They were muddy but the overdub technique used meant that there was also a cutting edge to it.

Good Night!
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. We've seen too many bands push past the point of a dignified death and we all promised one another early on in the life of the band that we would do our best to ensure ISIS would never fall victim to that syndrome. We've had a much longer run than we ever expected we would and accomplished a great deal more than we ever imagined possible. We never set any specific goals when the band was founded other than to make the music we wanted to hear and to play (and to stay true to that ideal), so everything else that has come along the long and winding path has been an absolute gift. As with any momentous life-changing decision (which this certainly is for the 5 of us), we feel a very dynamic range of emotions about this and cannot express all of it within the space of a few sentences, and perhaps it's best to do what we've always done in and let our music speak for us. It is and has been the truest expression of who we are as a collective and in some ways who we are as individuals for the 13 years in which we've been together. The last and perhaps most important thing we might say in relation to all this is how grateful we are for the people that have supported us over the years. It is a lengthy list that would include those who put out our records, those that played on them and put them to tape, the many bands with whom we shared the stage, all of our family, friends and companions who supported us in our individual lives and thus made it possible for us to continue on in the band, and most importantly those who truly listened to our music whether in recorded form or by coming to out to our shows (or both). It is quite true that we would never have done what we have without those people, that is many of you who are reading this. Our words can never fully express what we feel, but we hope that our music and the efforts made to bring it into being can serve as a more proper expression of gratitude for this life and for everyone in it. Thank you.
In more immediate and practical terms the tour we are about to embark upon is indeed our last. We are hoping that these final live rituals can help us bring a close to the life of this band in a celebratory and reverent way, and also provide us with a chance to say goodbye to many of those that have supported us over the years. While there is a measure of sadness that comes with the passing of this band, we hope that the final days can be joyous ones during which any and all that wish to come and join us will do so. It seems fitting that the last show of the tour and of our active existence will take place in Montreal, the site of the very first ISIS show in 1997 (though that was an unintentional move when booking the show initially). After the tour we also plan to follow through with other projects set in motion some time ago - pursuing the completion of a final EP, compiling live audio and visual material for future releases, and generally doing whatever we can to make our music available for as long as there are people who wish to hear it.
Thanks again to any and all,
ISIS, May 18, 2010
Totally shattered. So dissapointed I didn't see them live at Soundwave or their sideshow now. Kicking myself. Wavering Radiant showed the band hadn't lost anything. Would have loved for them to have given one more.

That's disappointing, but everyone's known it's been coming gor a while.
I fell asleep listening to slipknot, woke up listening to slipknot, will probably spend the rest of today listening to slipknot.

Immersion is a good album, a little repetative but some great tracks on there. Comprachios and Self v Self are tops. I lost $60 today...fortunately I found four albums. This Is The Warning - Dead Letter Circus. Bought this one because of your recommendation, Nico. If it's shit I'm blaming you :lol: The End of All Things to Come - Mudvayne. Good album from what I hear, want to check it out. LD-50 - Mudvayne. Apparently their best This One's For You - Deez Nuts. They're so bad it's good. Thought I'd check it out.

ahhh, far, far, far right-winged, extreme cult religion... you've got to love it: Westboro Cocksucking Cult wrote:http://www.godhatesfags.com/schedule.html05/30/2010 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM Los Angeles, CA Hall of Liberty in the Forest Lawn Cemetery 6300 Forest Lawn Drive WBC to picket this public memorial to remind you who worship that old Serpent, Satan, that your time is very short. You know 67 year old, Satan-worshiping (or at least one of their enablers) Ronnie James Dio (of showing his devil horns to the world each time he goes in public) Black Sabbath fame is dead, right? We'll be there! In honor of the event we have a new song "You're going straight to hell on a crazy train". That's right, you can get a hold of that good song in the "audio" and "popular/parody" section on this website. Just because the chances of any of God's elect being amongst this group of heavy metal sycophants is slim to none does not mean they should not get some good words. Yes, it is true that Ozzy Osbourne did "accidentally" bite off the head of a bat, but THAT is the least of their sins (little nasties!), they currently do not do that, but they throw raw meat to the audience and encourage violence of EVERY FORM! Here you have the list of admitted sins of this now dead and in hell pervert: 1) He hates his neighbor(s) starting with Ozzy Osbourne 2) He hates God. Pay especial attention to the fact that he changed his original sir name from Padanova to Dio, which means "God" in Italian. 3)Ronnie the simpleton enabled, and encouraged Sorceries: everything he was about including the little finger horn thing (he got this from his mother which is an incantation to ward off the "evil eye") to the drugs, bloody raw meat and his fellowship with those pentagram necklace wearing freakish band members. Yes, Ronnie James Padanova (NOT DIO) is currently residing in hell. When all those who worship him and his false gods meet him in hell it will be just like this: Isaiah 2:12 For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low: Isaiah 14:11 Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee. Praise God all ye, His people. The Great Day of the Lord draws nigh. AMEN!

It's been a rough couple weeks in metal...

That's poor form. There will be a lot of people at Dio's funeral, I hope they get beaten up.

Westboro Church really pissed me off over their comments about Black Saturday. This does not help, I seriously would like nothing else then to belt the crap out of members.
