F***, on the same night as Buzzcocks.

Hoping to go see these guys at the end of the month. They were deadly last time they played here. Just wondering if anyone else heard the rumour that Kylesa are playing support at this?

Didn't hear that and would be surprised as Kylsea only headined here back in August or so in Crawdaddy...on Isis's website, the only remaining shows with no support details on their Euro-autumn tour are the Irish ones!

To be honest, even if 'Big Tom' supported I wouldn't give a cat's mickey as long as Isis play afterward...such a superb band - cannot wait to see 'em!

yeah, i saw kylesa back when they played around july. they were deadly live. I would be surprised if they were playing here again so soon. I'm just going on what a mate told me. anyone know for definite?

Kylesa are not supporting Isis, they are doing the Clutch tour instead. The booking agent told U:MACK to get an Irish band as support.

That's grand, thanks for letting me know. Pity they're not playing with them but twill be a deadly gig if the last one's anything to go by. On next week. lookin forward to it now

Have heard that 'Altar of Plagues' are supporting Isis for the 3 shows in Cork-Dublin-Belfast this week..anyone know if they are any good?

Thinking of heading up to Belfast for the Sat. night after seeing them in Dublin...as it ain't too often Isis come to town...

Roll on Thursday!

I might just go to this.

seachto7 · 20-10-2009 5:57pm

heading to the Cork gig myself. can't wait

seachto7 · 23-10-2009 7:55am

was at the gig last night in Cork. ywas tough going. my ears nearly melted! Dunno who the support band were, but I thought they were sh1t, just noise, and yer man didn't acknowledge the crowd at all, must have been a bad hair day...
ISIS were pretty good, something kind of cold/clinical about the genre of music though...
makes me want to scream at everyone in work today though..

grand, think I might pick up earplugs at lunch time

seachto7 · 23-10-2009 9:58am

yeah, recommended!! I forgot mine. i was up front for the first 4 or 5 songs, then I just couldn't take it anymore!!:) I am an old fart though...
I've never experienced a sonic onslaught like it, maybe it was the venue (pretty small), and I've been to metal gigs, but it did almost melt my face off... \m/

The 3 lads were playing some savage custom guitars, dunno if the bodies were wood, the necks had an aluminium shine off them....

They look very placid, but made an almighty racket!

ShotgunblueZ · 23-10-2009 10:43am

Duck the earplugs! I won't be standing at the front but I want to feel the full sonic onslaught of Isis...

Presumably the support in Cork last night was Altar of Plagues..?

yeah, not my cup of tea at all. They were good in places, but not my cup of tea....

Altar of Plagues "Sol" ep is quite good imo, live they can come across as just a lot of incomprehensible noise though. Their drummer is awesome!

Morf · 23-10-2009 11:47pm

Aaron Turner spits a lot. I got quite worried standing right in front of him a few times. Too many songs off the last two cds. Needed some celestial material too.

fobster · 24-10-2009 12:18pm

Went to this on a whim after a full run-through of their myspace, got in just as Isis were kicking off. Good stuff, I'm liking this type of stuff more and more. Any ideas on a set list?

Great gig on Friday night but should have went to Belfast the next day!

...from what I can remember, the following songs were played:

hall of the dead
stone to wake a serpent
dulcinea
20 minutes/40 years
backlit
ghost key
threshold of transformation

carry
altered course (with a punchier ending to the panopticon track)

Belfast I heard was as follows:

Hall Of The Dead
Hand of The Host
Holy Tears
20minutes/40years
Ghost Key
Wills Dissolve
Threshold of Transformation

Carry
Celestial
