Members bullhead Posted September 14, 2006 Members Share Posted September 14, 2006 for me, it's definitely Isis. i've listened to Opeth here and there and can't really tell them from lots of other metal bands, which could, of course, just mean i haven't listened to them enough. Isis i have always been able to tell really quickly, even from when i saw them opening for the Melvins and hadn't seen them before, nothing sounds like them to me. so.. i was gonna post a RAR of four of my favorite Isis songs, should anyone stumble upon the thread that hasn't really heard them, but yousendit is being a bitch.

Members Wizard7 Posted September 14, 2006 Members Share Posted September 14, 2006 Opeth, I think they are one of the greatest bands of all time. As for Isis, I have Panopticon and I dont really enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let people bash. Doesn't mean you have to believe anything. I don't let other people make my mind up for me. this kinda sounds "flamish" and "attacky" but it's not supposed to... I see your points, I just don't see how it matters, they are respectable opinions tho. People can be idiots if they want. I can't stop them. However, I don't really see the need to promote that behavior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NoodleFace Posted September 14, 2006 Members Share Posted September 14, 2006 Im listening to that mp3.. the music is pretty awesome and different, I'm not sure if I like the vocals though. I definitely love the vocals in Opeth 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members fistertain Posted September 14, 2006 Members Share Posted September 14, 2006 Opeth ... because they are heavy as hell, and the vocals are a lot better. Oh yeah, and Martin Lopez is a drumming monster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ThrashmetalErik Posted September 14, 2006 Members Share Posted September 14, 2006 OPETH Mikael Akerfeldt Is a better guitarist better singer clean and growling, writes great lyrics. They can go from clean tight or acoustic arangments to death metal. Even their new drummer is better IMO Isis are ok but they get boring fast for me.

Members MAMMATUS Posted September 14, 2006 Members Share Posted September 14, 2006 ISIS used to be my all time favourite band. Mosquito control and The Red Sea really are two of my favourite albums. Celestial, Signal 05 were really good, Oceanic was great, Panopticon was OK, and the newest release is {censored}. I hate to see bands do this. There is 1 riff on the new CD that is killer, and the rest of the 1 hour album is spent building up to anti-climaxes. Aaron turner should be slapped. Having said that, they were great live the other week......Opeth.......meh....... Morningrise is a great album. Black Rose Immortal is a cool song, but the guitar tone is buzzy and a bit thin. Stuff like "Still life" just pisses me off.Live, Opeth are really great though, if only they had a bit more stage prescence......I vote ISIS, even though their new album is a pile of dog {censored}.

No {censored} they are different, I wasn't comparing them. I asked which one you liked better. Thing is, you don't hear many bad things about either band on here, so I was interested as to which band overall the forum preferred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Exocaster Posted September 14, 2006 Members Share Posted September 14, 2006 Hmm... Opeth, if only because I'm in the mood for Opeth more often than I am Isis. I love them both, though. Interestingly enough, I'm not a huge fan of either band's early material. Maybe it's just my anti-metal-elitist showing, but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members telephant Posted September 14, 2006 Members Share Posted September 14, 2006 Isis threw down last night. But I dont have a favor... Probably Opeth since they are bigger badasses technically speaking... Though the singer/guitar player from Isis, the drummer, and the bassist are al badasses. The other two dont even need to be there really... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
