About this item

Over the collective’s past ten albums, Neurosis have invited listeners to join them on the path their music carved. Going beyond the remarkable, neurosis became unforgettable.

This year finds neurosis taking their most dominant step yet with their eleventh full-length, 'Fires Within Fires'. Three decades in the making, 'Fires Within Fires' is a testament both to the history and future of Neurosis. Striking the band's signature balance between light and dark, beauty and repulsion, 'Fires Within Fires' gives due to its predecessors while progressing forward into the unfamiliar and formidable.

For members Scott Kelly, Steve Von Till, Jason Roeder, Noah Landis, and Dave Edwardson, the album is a welcomed companion to what’s now been a 30-year-long trek into the infiniteness of sound and sight coalescing into consciousness. An all-encompassing reminder that transfiguration in sound remains their most commanding and inimitable strength, 'Fires Within Fires' is the next powerful step towards a destination that has long been and continues to be the very heart of "becoming" for the mighty Neurosis.

STAFF COMMENTS

Barry says: Toeing the line between metal and drone, Neurosis have had a long history of fantastic releases themselves, and on their label, Neurot recordings. Crushing sustained riffage and pummeling slow-core drumfoolery bring to mind post-metal / drone legends Isis or Pelican whilst still retaining their own imitable sound. Von Till's vocals are as present as ever, riding the torrential waves like a shirty but skilled jockey. 'Fires Within Fires' is characteristically confident and impeccably measured, just what we'd expect from Neurosis.
