Isis - Wavering Radiant

Metal is a broad term. Whether it's progressive or avant-garde or alternative or nu or whatever... But some bands skirt around the terms and dive into something else. Now Isis isn't exactly the weirdest music you'll ever her. But I find it almost impossible to put a label on it. Isis has quite a discography, it's subtly molded itself into something polished and refined since their debut, Celestial.

Wavering Radiant is the newest release from Isis. And it leaked a day ago. It is probably their best album to date. From tightly-knit pounding heavy sections to winding mellow passages this album flows magnificently. One thing that has improved is Aaron Turner's screaming. He added a sort of death metal touch and growl to morph his past 'hardcore' voice into something a little more fitting. The drumming is once again top notch as is the guitars and electronics. Another great album from a continuously great band.
