Disco de Neurosis: “Through Silver in Blood”

Restrained, Heavy, Chugging, Tortureing, "Tribal Metal"... Beautiful

Neurosis are a band that care so much for what they say with thier words and with the visualy and audiotistically profound stage they present with their music. Any fan of them will forever be a fan. This band is filled with a respect for mother nature and human life that few bands will ever embrace.

Neurosis sound like a restrained freight train of mind opening brilliance. And when that train hits you you are derailed from the frustration of the closed minds that harbor conciousness, you can remember yourself long enough to admire your own endeavors. This album is thier greatest album amongst the other awesome albums they make.

If you like this album try others by Neurosis namely: "Enemy of the Sun" and "Souls At Zero"

Neurosis are definitive of musical taste and integrity. And they are not for people who like their music soft!

Also try "Isis", another band of real character influenced by Neurosis.

i must say, Neurosis is one of the most original and unique bands i've heard in a long time. i hated them the first time i heard them. just sounded like a bunch of artsy-fartsy noise with some fuzzed guitar and tribal drumming. but then i got hooked on a few songs of theirs, bought this and then BAM... i finally realized how incredible they are. i don't quite understand why so many people label them "hardcore." i can't say i enjoy ANY hardcore band, yet Neurosis is incredible. to be honest, Neurosis is one onf those bands that you can almost classify, but then they suprise you with something that breaches any limitation you can put on them. they are as close to hardcore as they are euro-pop. many will never really get this band, and i see why. they are a little strange, they do require some patience. however, for those who openly endure those first few listens, the rewards of Neurosis are endless.

I have been a fan of Neurosis for years, but I wouldn't say a "die-hard" fan. I totally loved Souls at Zero, but most of their other work up until this was hit and miss for me. I liked a few songs off of Enemy of the Sun.

When I first heard this gem I was genuinely blown away. I could almost call it the "Sgt. Peppers album for tribal metal" or "post metal" or whatever other label people come up with for them.

I will warn the avid metal enthusiast that this album is not a straight, riff after riff thrash piece...Neurosis pulls out all the stops here, from heavy guitars, to organs, multiple drum sets, bagpipes, the list goes on. Scott Kelly doesn't disappoint with screeching vocals that are not unlike a specter screaming with its larynx torn out.

You almost need to be "in a state of mind" to appreciate the beauty here. It is not to be heard, but listened to and experienced. I also think the album is best heard start to finish, vs. song to song. It allows the listener to really lose themselves in the sound.

Purify is one of my favorite metal songs ever written, with ever-building crescendos to a climactic decline. Other notable tracks are Through Silver and Blood, Aeon and Locust Star.

A must have for any Neurosis fan, or any metal fan looking for the next plateau.

i can't tell if this sounds like the world being destroyed or what it would sound like after it was already destroyed. either way, i believe i have finally found the sound i've been searching for.

I was revisiting this gem a few weeks ago and for some reason or another was moved to share my opinion of it with the world...I'm such a narcissist.

If the onslaught of various obnoxious subgenres don't raise any flags (alternative metal, apocalyptic metal, folk metal), let me assure you: Neurosis is not your average "metal" band. Newcomers beware! Truth be told, this is not a band that one just listens to. This is a band whose music (and visual accompaniment) is to be experienced. Do not just try to pop this into your car stereo for a casual listen on your way to the grocery store. You make time for this band.

From the opening seconds of the first track, you know you're in for something different. Tribal drumming lays the groundwork and makes way for the hypnotic guitar riffs and passionate vocals found throughout this

release. Through repetition and structural evolution, they transport the listener to another world. Who needs drugs when there are bands like Neurosis? Sculpting sound with emotional fervor, they paint sonic landscapes with aural brushes. Cavernous drums wed with mountains of low-end distortion and waves of agonizing screams. The music blends seamlessly from brutally heavy to serenely calm and back again. Despite the occasional breath-catching oasis, this remains a truly intense album.

Neurosis have been known to create devastatingly crushing, spiritually influenced records and this is definitely their most aggressive offering. It is with "Through Silver In Blood" that Neurosis push their way to the frontlines as one of the heaviest bands on Earth.

Other notable Neurosis releases: "A Sun That Never Sets", "Given To The Rising"
