Old Composer REACTS to Isis Ghost Key ~ Prog Rock Heavy & Metal Reactions ~ The Decomposer Lounge 

So Did We slaps so hard

@@Sergeant.Salami massive track, so ethereal and when everything comes back at the end it hits like a bag of chips out of a car window

Love all their albums but I think Oceanic and Panopticon are straight up masterpieces! They never made an average or weak album, always incredibly strong!

They closed their set with this tune at a show in New Zealand one night that completely melted my mind it tore the now demolished Kings Arms anew asshole that wept for days on end

‘So did we’ is just different gravy as they say. Up there on my favourite not just Isis songs but songs full stop

Saw them play for the Caleb memorial show in Los Angeles not too long ago and it was a spiritual experience. They went under the name "Celestial" the band for some reason but nobody cared. Love this album. Might be my favorite ISIS lp . al

Isis was something that brought me to close of Cult of Luna. Really have same kind of wibes!

@@lustalgia... pretty sure the celestial thing was for promotional reasons during their last show because the terrorist organization isis was becoming more well known around that time

@@Dylan_matkowsky yea i figured was sorta shocked they went back to it even though i’m a firm believer in keeping ones intentions in spite of a few horrifically bad seeds

julie christmas and cult of luna - ss needle

For the acoustic weeks I strongly, whole-heartedly recommend the acoustic version of Passing Through from Cult of Luna m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rjESX_MWpdY.html

+1 for Cult of Luna! Anything of the Vertikal album is pure creative genius

@@ThomasPhelan555 They worked so well together. I wouldn't be opposed to another collab from them in the future.

@@StianAskeland It's hard to pick just one, but my current favorite CoL song is In Awe Of. It's such a stellar track.

*some of the guys from Isis

Yessss

yes! phenomenal band, Valley of Smoke is an all-timer

@@humzaashraf4108 The Literal Black Cloud, or the whole of Prehistoricisms actually.

@@ZosoZeppelin13 their best album for sure.

The Cull would be amazing

Curiously, Cult of Luna is not working with me... I don't know why... Russian Circles, Pelican, Toundra, God is an Astronaut, If These Trees Could Talk, yes. Cult of Luna, no... :-p

The new Luna is sick. I'm incredibly partial to that Julie Christmas album though.

Gosh. I like new CoL but there is no way Three Bridges or Lights on The Hill should be someones gateway. Yes to Finland, I: The Weapon, Ghost Trail, Cygnus, or even Leave Me Here!

@@coustryemmanuel1631 Try their Mariner album. Something a bit difference for them.

@@Cerbeh Leave Me Here was mine.

Oceanic...

Oceanic is their masterpiece. "Carry" is the one to do, probably my favourite metal track ever.

My favourite song is probably Plaible Foe... Should have been on Wavering Radiant...

I second that. Syndic calls is next level! Possibly my favourite song of theirs

He prob goes more by recommendations and doesn't look into where they fit on the timeline. Idk, I'm just happy to see ISIS on his channel. Def agree that Oceanic or Panopticon should come next if he circles back to them.

Maybe Poison Eggs! I do think it fits though because the Wavering Radiant album is hugely influenced and even features members of Tool. Notice Justin Chancellor type bass guitar!

@@Psych21 Honestly no. I associate Justin with using less effects and a more driving style more akin to lead guitar work, whereas Jeff is playing his bass almost like a synth to accompany Clifford on keyboards. There's no doubt crossover, but I don't think either bass player would say this sound is in any way their go to.

@@Herpusderpus wow so cool he did Isis but yes bad place to start

@ShivaWilding It may be a strange starting point for you or anyone if you're familiar, and a fan of this particular band. I assume you are new to Geebzs channel, otherwise you would know he just posted a video to explain in detail the how's & why he clicks on a certain song. His niche has been in the media business, jingles, commercials, local movie productions, which have been incredibly successful etc... His channel has been so wildly positive because he intuitively knows and sometimes not understandably, but people still appreciate his mastery regardless. He hits the nail on the head almost always because of his incredible ear & engineering talents from back in the day when he DID engineer music and put together & give feedback for artists wanting to break through in the music industry. He can hear everything! So having chosen music that he is not familiar with can be a big gamble, and he tries his hardest to please everyone! Geebzs is doing something fantastically right. Because look at his subscription numbers. People, including me love him for a very good reason! 💯❤️🎶

great song

I honestly don’t know why my requests dont get more likes. I thought there were more BTBAM fans out there.🤷‍♂️ not giving up though! Thanks to those that do like!🙏

@@yukoncorneliusjr8273 well, so far you have like the 4th most likes on this comment thread! im seeing BTBAM in a month or so!

@@buckfuttler2877 fingers crossed.🤞I think so too!

We gotta make his next btbam song one that'll hook him, so he starts doing them weekly lol. I don't think Selkies is the optimal choice 🤔

Yep, he plays on 'Altered Course' and it's my favourite instrumental from the band!

Panopticon is a masterpiece!

Its my favourite for the same reasons, shame they split up. I got to see them twice around 03'&04'

Doesn't Adam Jones play on this track?

@@emptycloud2774 He plays guitar on Hall of the Dead, and keyboards on the title track.

Yeah Neurosis! I'd be for something out of The Eye of Every Storm, but anything from Neurosis will do :) Also regarding Isis, i totally agree that something from Oceanic or Panopticon might have been even better.

@@scosstard3542 oooh yeah The Eye of every storm was an epic album! It’s crazy how many legendary albums they’ve created when you think about it 🤯

I feel like Neurosis is one of those bands that a good amount of people have heard of but never listed to and thats a shame. Kind of like The Melvins.

Pelican rules, What We All Come to Need is my fav album by them

Dim if he likes goats (or sheep? whichever lol)

Finland or Dead city dead man🤘🏻

Yes!!! Cult of Luna please!

There are definitely more interesting songs imo. Lights On The Hill, Finland, Cygnus, in Awe Of...

A greater call

Lol , no , that was neurosis years prior .

The ending for Grinning Mouths is sooooo good! Powerful as hell!

Yes highly agree. Rosetta a definite to review. Guitarist Matt Weed’s solo stuff(Ghost Lode) from Rosetta is great too.

They played there last show in my home town montreal 2 months before I ever heard of them lol. Just missed em

Echos off salvation ooooooor owlwood off eternal kingdom!!! Heavy tunes! Seen them live numerous times!

I've also been recommending COL for a while hahah but seeing the comments I think it will happends very soon

Best we can do is continue getting them more recognition so they eventually feel like they have no choice but to regroup lol

Both of those projects are stellar. Palms is so chill, it really takes me places.

You forget about Sumac. ;-)

That Palms record absolutely, to me, the most underrated album I can think of. Was working in record industry at the time of release so got lucky with getting a vinyl of it pre-release. Was just blown away. Must have put it on 5 6 times in a row!

I think Misson Sunset is one of Moreno's best vocal performances ever. One of my favourite tracks off any album, truly epic!

@@harleythesalami6956 So true! I think as a debut it's extraordinary, just as an album regardless. They're all seasoned musicians and special as they're ex members of Isis and Moreno of Deftones. But it so exceeded my expectations! I knew it would be good but not that good! I think Mission Sunset is extraordinary work from all of them and Moreno knocks it out the park vocally too. Its sublime!

Wasn't he also Abe Cunningham's tech at one point?

He was also Abe Cunningham's drum tech from Deftones. He's awesome Aaron Harris, love his drumming. Love Danny Carey and Abe Cunningham too! If you haven't already you should check his band Palms with the ex members of Isis and Chino Moreno of Deftones. Not as heavy as Isis but still incredible music; they're more lush and melodic than heavy! ✌🏻

@@prime20687 That Palms album is phenomenal.

Would love to hear another Palms album!

@@tomthebodz I’m a huge fan of Deftones and ISIS and Palms and had no idea it was basically an ISIS collaboration until like a month ago

Threshold is an immense album and career closer.

Converge is a must

In fiction is a masterpiece

True i even see hiphop heads reacting to Isis recently, loved to see it. They're severely underrated outside of the genre.

Oh fuck and *Shels - Conference of the Birds!

Really good song to get started with them, though it's from their final album and was one of two written after they toured with Tool (In the Absence of Truth was the other.) Speaking of Absence, "Garden of Light" is my all-time favorite song period, so I'm gonna have to suggest that one, but "In Fiction" is an incredibly close second place. On the keyboardist (Bryant Meyer), he also serves as a third guitarist when needed. Five dudes total, Aaron Turner does all the vocals and is the lead guitarist. Aaron has gone on to form several sludgier bands like Old Man Gloom and Sumac. He's done some noise stuff too. These guys, along with Cult of Luna and, wait for it, NEUROSIS are the "holy trinity" of what folks call post-metal. I've commented about Neurosis twice already ("Through Silver in Blood"), so for Cult of Luna, I'd check out "The Silent Man," "Ghost Trail," or "The Fall". And as always: "Onda" by Jambinai. They could easily share a stage with Isis, if Isis were still around.

Also Isis did have a keyboard player. Fun fact on this album Adam Jones plays guitar on “Hall of the Dead” and keyboards on “Wavering Radiant”. Another connection of this bad with a different artist you have reviewed is that this record was released on Ipecac records which was founded by Mike Patton from Mr. Bungle.
