ISIS reveal Album cover and tracklisting[views:6417][posts:26]_____________________________________ [Feb 6,2009 2:03pm - the_reverend ""] LOS ANGELES, Feb. 6 – ISIS, the Los Angeles by way of Boston quintet, will release their fifth full-length album, Wavering Radiant, on May 5 via Ipecac Recordings. The album, recorded over the late Summer and Fall of 2008 in Los Angeles, was produced by Joe Barresi (Queens Of The Stone Age, Melvins) and will also see a vinyl release on Apr. 21. [img] Aaron Turner recently discussed the new album with Billboard, saying "This is a better sonic representation of what the band actually sounds like. In the past I think some of the recordings were a little too clean in their final form. There was something about the energy that seemed to be lacking. It seems to feel more like us than anything else has." "I feel a sense of completion with this record that I've never felt before,” Aaron Harris adds. “We spent more time creating this record than we have with any other, and I feel in my heart that this record is in many ways our best." Cover art was once again created by Turner. The track listing for Wavering Radiant is: 1. Hall Of The Dead 2. Ghost Key 3. Hand Of The Host 4. Wavering Radiant 5. Stone To Wake A Serpent 6. 20 Minutes / 40 Years 7. Threshold of Transformation ISIS is currently planning extensive worldwide touring behind Wavering Radiant with more details to be announced shortly. |

Ok, Turner's clean vocals are a red flag and both bands have lengthy compositions. ISIS are a band who are inspired by Neurosis, but both bands have distinctly different sounds. I don't get why no one mentions the Godflesh influence on their earlier works, especially Mosquito Control. |
| _____________________________________________ [Feb 6,2009 2:57pm - Miguel de Decrepito ""] oh, and repost =) |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 6,2009 3:03pm - The Rooster ""] I hope this isn't as boring as the previous album. I really like Isis, but that last one was a real snoozer. |

I love Panopticon, but i wish they had kept that Godflesh sound. the Streetcleaner cover is awesome. |

| ____________________________________________ [Mar 20,2009 1:21pm - MikeOvDecrepitvde ""] It might be premature to say, but I can already tell this is a better record than the last album. Aaron's harsh vocals are back on point, but I just can't figure out why he insists on doing even more clean vocals. The sparse wailings on Celestial and Oceanic were fitting, and I can tolerate the incoporation of the clean vocals on Panopticon. Well, so far... not bad. W3%20@%20work said:see i dont hear neurosis when i listen to them Agreed. |
| __________________________________ [Mar 20,2009 1:22pm - brian_dc ""] I would definitely agree that it's better than the last 2 albums. |
