ISIS, the innovative Los Angeles-by-way-of-Boston-based band, will release its fifth full-length album, “Wavering Radiant”, on May 5 via Ipecac Recordings. The CD, produced by Joe Baressi (TOOL, QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE), will receive a limited-edition vinyl release on April 21. TOOL’s Adam Jones contributed guitar to two songs from the LP.
MTV’s HeadbangersBlog.com recently hooked up with ISIS frontman Aaron Turner to talk about the creation of “Wavering Radiant”, why he won’t discuss his lyrics, recent challenges and obstacles in his life and the influence of drugs — or lack thereof — on good psychedelia. Turner also addressed his kinship with TOOL and NEUROSIS, his experimental music label Hydra Head and the benefits and drawbacks of music filesharing.
The entire 44-minute chat is available for streaming below.
Cover art (see below) was once again created by Turner.
