Doom rock outfit Isis will return May 5 with its new Ipecac
album, Wavering Radiant. The set will be released first on
vinyl on April 21.

Vocalist/guitarist Aaron Turner tells Billboard.com the album
is perhaps a little more orchestral in feel than its four
predecessors. Theres more layers going on and more interplay
between the instruments, rather than layering of parts, he
says.

With band members no longer scattered between U.S. coasts,
Isis was able to work out some of the more subtle aspects of
the songs before hitting the studio. Tool guitarist Adam
Jones wound up guesting on two as-yet-unnamed tracks.

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,
Turner says. There was something about the energy that seemed
to be lacking. It seems to feel more like us than anything
else has.

After a handful of late 2008 shows in Europe, Isis will return
to the road this spring. If we can pull it together and find
somebody agreeable to support, well probably do a support
thing before the record drops, and then a headlining tour
shortly after it comes out, Turner says. We have European
festivals in the summer, and thats as far as weve gotten.

Outside of Isis, Turner has been working on what I guess is a
solo project for the past number of years. Ive done some
shows and a couple of small releases with that.

He also contributed to an album from new Hydra Head band
Mammifer, who asked him to become a more concrete member of
that project. They dont do a lot of touring, so I imagine
Ill contribute to the recordings, he says.
