Isis album details revealed

Official press release: Isis, the Los Angeles by way of Boston quintet, will release their fifth full-length album, Wavering Radiant, on May 5th 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 April 21. 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: Hall Of The Dead Ghost Key Hand Of The Host Wavering Radiant Stone To Wake A Serpent 20 Minutes / 40 Years Threshold of Transformation Isis is currently planning extensive worldwide touring behind Wavering Radiant with more details to be announced shortly.

barresi is a top-notch fader jerk, but i sincerely hope this doesn't turn out sounding like tortoise or trail of the dead. in a word: gimme. when's the premix gonna get leaked?
