TOURS, VIDEOS, BIKE RIDES and more...



In a weeks time we'll be heading out for our first full European tour in support of Wavering Radiant. The break has been a nice and productive one, but we're looking forward to getting out there and playing, seeing some old friends and familiar places, and even some new ones. There's 40 shows scheduled for this tour, the most we've ever done in a single tour. It's going to be epic. We hope you'll join us!

The video for "20 minutes/ 40 years" is slowly making it's way to the public. As a teaser, we've attached some pictures from the filming of James Rienhart, the main character in his civilian clothes, and Matt Santoro, the director. These give a slight glimpse into what's in store without giving away too much. Enjoy.

Some time in the next week or so the ISIS webstore should have a whole mess of new goods available for any interested parties out there. We'll finally have the European pressing of "Wavering Radiant" on 2xLP available through the store, as well as new T-shirt and sweatshirt designs from our last US tour, and re-stocks on some items long unavailable, etc. We'll make an announcement as soon as all the stuff goes up as will our web store comrades at BCD.

Also of interest is the latest good news on our "LIVE V : Oceanic Live in London" recording. We'll have the CD version available from the outset of the EU/UK tour and the 2xLP version about halfway through. The vinyl will be available from Viva Hate Records directly around mid November and we'll have the CD version available through our webstore in December after our return from tour.

A few other ISIS related items:

Tuesday Oct 13th is the release date for the debut album "Secret House" by Jodis - a new group featuring Aaron Turner (ISIS, Mamiffer, Lotus Eaters), James Plotkin (Khanate, Lotus Eaters, Khlyst), and Tim Wyskida (Khanate, Blind Idiot God). A pre-order package should be up on the Hydra Head webstore sometime this week, and a sample clip from the album can be heard here: http://www.plotkinworks.com/currentactions/index.html.

Clifford has been busy finishing up the new Red Sparowes record which will be out in the spring via Sargent House. Also check out the new vinyl for last year's Aphorisms EP here.

Aaron Harris has landed an endorsement with Sonor drums. He will be playing a new S Classix (Scandinavian Birch) Kit in Walnut Roots on the upcoming tour.

Aaron also rode 100 miles as part of a blog that Bernie Romanowski from Cable has been writing for Decibel Magazine . The blog is about music, cycling, and whatever else Bernie chooses to discuss. You can read about Aaron's ride here: http://decibelmagazine.com/Content.aspx?ncid=333352

  1. Oceanic is by far the best record of yours, I think that this live version will blow our minds much more than the normal one, hope that the shipment to Mexico be cheap and the package really nice, because, to be honest, that Wavering Radiant package was like... from 1-10, like a 6, c'mon guys, you can make better packages... aren´t you guys? I mean, you're frickin' ISIS, jajaja... just kiddin' it will be also nice that you guys como over to Mexico and play some shows, and bring some of your merch, because it's almost impossible find a record of yours here in any record store.

    Saludos desde Mexico, cabrones!
