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 andfall 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.

James Backs Out Of Statement
Etta James states that she was just joking when she told an audience that she hated Beyonce. She told the New York Daily News, "I didn't really mean anything. Even as a little child, I've always had that comedian kind of attitude... That's probably what went into it."
In reference to Beyonce's version of "At Last," James said she felt "left out of something that was basically mine, that I had done every time you look around. Nobody was getting mad at me in Seattle. They were all laughing, and it was funny."

Coldplay Doesn't Have To Hide At Grammy's
The members of Coldplay no longer have to try to avoid being seen at the Grammy's. A lawyer for the group has accepted papers from Joe Satriani's lawyers rather than have any embarassing incidents.
Satriani is suing the group, claiming that Viva La Vida was plagiarized from his I Just Wanna Fly. Lawyer Howard King told E! News, "We were going to attempt to serve them sometime this weekend while they were in Los Angeles, the Grammys being the most obvious time. We had also considered the MusiCares event. However, we had a very fine lawyer contact us and assure us there's no need to personally serve them. He will accept the papers on the band's behalf."
