Yeeeea. Everything about 1,000 Shards is so warm it’s damn tearjerking.

Too bad there's not much live recordings of this album other than Not In Rivers and Holy Tears. I know there's one recording of 1000 Shards during a support set for Tool that exists, and the only live recording of Garden Of Light (one of three known performances) apart from a filmed rehearsal performance on YouTube.

I kinda wish they would release a Live VIII with the source recording being a performance from where they played most of the ITAOT album. Probably won't happen cause I have a feeling that the actual Live VIII (if it ever happens) will be the recording of their final show. It was definitely recorded cause Cave In's set that night was recorded and ended up being released as a very limited cassette only live album a few years back.

Isis supporting Tool. If only that could still be a thing. Too bad I wasn't into this when I was in high school.

"Too bad I wasn't into this when I was in high school."

Neither was I. Isis disbanded when I was in 10th grade and it would be some 4 years later before I actually first began listening to them.

Tool has had a lot of amazing openers. That's how I found out about Intronaut.

I feel ya though, I got into them around 2011 not knowing they has disbanded the year before.

Jakob opened for Tool in Australia and New Zealand and they are one of the other coolest post-heavy bands

Just red your review Mongi and listened to this about 5 times now but hasn't really clicked with me so far. It's good, but quite different from Panopticon (which i love by now). Like you said, this could really take it's sweet time to sink in, but on the whole i can already tell that this record is much more subdued.

I'd consider it also a lot more atmospheric (or even tribal) and brooding, but much less immediate than something like So Did We.

Nice man and yea it'll click man. I love the genuinely sensitive feel of the album and the climaxes are some of their best.

It might seem crazy but this might be my favorite Isis. But Panopticon and Celestial are both top as well

Nothing tops WR , but this is second best. The ending to the ender (just made that up) is one of my most favorite and treasured moments in music history. My music history - which is quite long and expansive if you didn’t know.
