Isis, this post-metal band from the states, released the follow up to In the Absence of Truth, Wavering Radiant this year. I have always experienced that I seem to like one track from their albums better than the rest. On both Panopticon and Oceanic, I’ve enjoyed the first track, but on wavering radiant, this changed. I think that last track, Threshold of Transformation is the best from this album.
It starts off with a quite brutal way, by Isis standards. The drums are pretty awesome, and they change from hard to soft a couple of times before the amazing part around 04:50, which kinda reopens the song, and I feel it’s quite a reminder of what’s to come when they cool it down around 05:30. Then there’s an amazing build up, the bass line around 07:00 is just plain amazing, for me the highlight of the track.
