Neurosis is going to record their next album at Electrical Audio Studio with Steve Albini starting on December 27th. This former hardcore punk band quickly evolved into one of the most influential voices on the indie-sludge-post sort of metal that was more popular a few years ago, and yet they seem to have earned some praise from site staff in the past. Going merely off the producer (Steve Albini has worked with the band for many years), I wouldn’t expect major changes to the band’s approach, but exceptions can always happen. The band’s official site claims that in 2016, they will play a few tour dates to celebrate their 30th anniversary – two in San Francisco, three in the Netherlands, and a few more in other parts of Europe.

Booooooo!
I listened to neurosis once and it about put me in a coma. All it was to me was dragged out stoner sludge that failed to be interesting. Perhaps, if I fried a few thousand brain cells, I might get it. Not a fan of the stoner sludge sound in general. I know their first album was hardcore punk I haven’t listened to it, but surely it would be more interesting than anything they recorded afterwards.
I love the first Neurosis album.
Completely different than their other stuff.
It’s on par with Celtic Frost, Discharge and Sheer Terror.
Though in saying that, this is surely only my humble opinion.
Yes, their debut Lp “Pain of Mind” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABHxMyJFV1A
and the “Aberration” 7″ EP was great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17p6SFLAWtI
I forgot about them, and was shocked, when by chance, I heard the “Through Silver in Blood” album … they sounded NOTHING like the old days! Blah !
