She Painted Fire is excellent as the whole trilogy and one of their best. In the Shadow of our Pale Companion and Falling Snow are basically tied for my favorite. Fire Above, Ice Below and Embers are up there too.

Yeah a lot of their stuff does haha. Also Marrow is underrated, that second half of Black Lake Nidstang is so good.

Btw guys i asked in a Cult Of Luna thread but i didn't get a good answer.

What are the main differences between ISIS and COL? I wanna get into them in the next time and would like to hear some opinions on that issue

On the differences between ISIS/CoL: They’re similar in many regards — particularly both bands early works. However, while CoL dug deeper into crushing marches and perfected that mechanical feel over time, ISIS’ last two albums feel more organic. Songs ‘swim’ through different segments and the band seemed more playful with more novel song structures and odd time signatures. All in all, I put CoL a little closer to the doom/sludge end of the spectrum and ISIS a tad closer to prog.

I would say that the CoL singer is a better growler, but I haven't heard him actually sing yet, so melodic diversity advantage goes to Aaron as of now.

Now that is an helpful answer. Appreciate it dude!

I have heard some clean sung vocals on Spotify, i think the track was "Passing Through"? Cleans did sound nice on that track

Ditto. Somewhere Along The Highway is CoL's magnum opus.

Yes it is and Stone to Wake a Serpent is awesome as well, but IMO 20/40 steals the show and it's better than Weight. 20/40 best Isis song.. AGREEEEED
