Los Angeles-by-way-of-Boston quintet Isis are the type of band that your mother warned you about. They emit a gargantuan, unwieldy sound that could easily impair your hearing. But after some twelve years of rocking out—or what drummer Aaron Harris simply refers to as "beating the shit out of their instruments"—they've created their own niche. The distinctively heavy tone that many have come to associate with the group has helped develop a new wave of metal bands, including the likes of Cult of Luna, Pelican and Russian Circles. So it should come as no surprise that their fifth, hotly anticipated record entitled Wavering Radiant has found Isis in a fairly comfortable position, doing what they've known best the only way they know how to do it.
