ISIS @ The Cluny, October 26th

Portions For Foxes and Pineapple Folk presents:

ISIS

Los Angeles' undisputed kings of ambient, epic metal visit Newcastle, October 26th.

Isis tour this October in support of their new album Wavering Radiant, and we are pleased to be bringing their apocalyptic metal soundscapes to Newcastle as part of the tour.

Over the space of five albums, four Eps and twelve years, Isis have proved year on year favourites of the discerning rock press. Their musical template: beautiful, soaring melody secreted among slow burning, steamroller riffs and guttural howls have inspired a generation of similar artists worldwide, some to borrow and innovate, growing out of the sound like Isis grew from their early influences, Godflesh, Tool and Melvins, others formulaic clones.

With Wavering Radiant, Isis once more up the ante, weaving further subtleties and nuances between familiar monolithic riffing and sinister ambience. A 54 minute sonic measurement of the distance between Isis and their pretenders.

We're really pleased to have a band with such a world famous live show playing for us.
