KCMay 19, 2009Awesome band. Remind at times of Frodus, Helmet, and Tool. I'm new to Isis, but have been quickly hooked by them. Excellent musicians writing intriguing and rocking songs. I don't mind the growl at all, as some reviewers have ragged on; it doesn't seem affected or cliche, but more sincere and tastefully used between actual singing, which itself is a nice compliment to the music.

Oct 14, 2015When a band's philosophy centres around the same basic premise, one in which they are encouraged to retread and retry, you feel that band should actually retread and retry, and that they truly understand postmodern art.

Oct 15, 2015An amazing album from the master of Post Metal.
Following the success of Oceanic and Panopticon, Wavering Radiant takes you to a musical journey that does not disappoints.
Awards & Rankings
-
Wavering Radiant works as a single piece of music rather than a series of songs, and it is cohesively played by an ensemble that is more interested in the dark majesty of metal than its potential for expressing anger.
-
Songs are still suite-sized, but this is the toughest and catchiest Isis record since their 1999 debut full-length, "Celestial."
-
To attempt to rank Wavering Radiant within the Isis discography is to miss this point. Fans of earlier releases will likely be disappointed but if this record proves anything, it's that Isis are a fully-functioning organism, slowly moving towards something not yet known by the listener and perhaps not even the band themselves.
