Neurosis is probably the most emotionally intense and potent metal band I've ever come across, their music is extremely powerful. Souls at Zero is a stone cold classic album, the first of many in their discography, actually. So I hope you will dig more into these guys in the future.

Neurosis? Holy crap, let's go!

The ambiance that can be felt with Neurosis (even more live!) is basically through the roof, Incredible iconic band!

neurosis are one of the absolute coolest and weirdest metal bands ever. you really cant go wrong with any of their discography and it's super worth delving into

Neurosis - Locust Star - Live at Ozzfest 1996 is hands down one of the best live performances I've ever seen. I can't even imagine what it was like to be there for those lucky ones. Amazing how their passion is felt in every single note.

Neurosis was one of the major influences on Isis, where you already reacted to one song. Highly recommend further reaction on both bands!

YES!!! NEUROSIS!!! Thank you Geebz for taking this on. Hope to see you dissect more tracks from these guys. Super cool for me as a long time fan of the band to see someone else experience them from scratch. Their back catalogue is intensely varied, running the gamut from some excellent Rudimentary Peni/Discharge/Amebix influenced Hardcore Punk in their early days, to Folk and Prog inspired craziness that lends huge nods to the likes of Pink Floyd and King Crimson, to sonically disturbing and densely layered Industrial infused sludge/doom metal, to minimalist stuff and more spaced out ethereal, even serene moments. These guys are legends for a multitude of reasons, one of the most influential in the realm of extreme/underground heavy music, inspiring almost everyone from Sepultura to Mastodon.

Your face discovering this band is golden. I think you'd love their The Eye Of Every Storm album.

oooooh you have no idea how long I've waited for the moment to see you listen to a neurosis track.

Yay! One of my favorite bands and my very best live concert experience! Saw them with my friends in Tavastia club Helsinki. The most intense and well thought of stage performance I have seen. No gimmicks, no fireworks, no engaging with the audience - just a spotlight on a blacked out stage on Noah, the keyboard player, holding one note until the rest of the band comes on stage. Song kicks in, in a huge wall of sound and lights come on. Song ends - lights goes out. On the last song stage goes black and Noah stays on spotlight holding one key, until all bandmembers get off stage. And then raises his hand to salute and takes a step back to darkness... From Finland I salute the brotherhood of Neurosis!

Saw Neurosis for the first time in 1999 on the Times of grace tour. It was and still is the most intense gig i have ever been to. The venue only held 300 people and was absolutaly amazing. It was such a powerfull performance, with tracks such as 'The doorway' and 'Under the surface' ,leaving the whole audience spell bound. A gig i shall never forget.

Holy ****! I've been listening to this particular album since 1992 and still consider it a perfect record.

Deep deep deep discography for this band. Various side projects as well. I was lucky enough to work with these guys a few times. The fact that I could be Steve Von Tills stunt double (same height and bald with a very long goatee) led to some funny interactions.

Dave from Neurosis is probably one of the best bass players of his punk generation. He just knows the job for every song and occasion

So happy to finally see Neurosis on the channel!! Think they were just starting to get experimental on this album, so it sounds a bit clunky. But man, their discography is massive and the 5 or 6 albums after this one are all legendary. Really hope to see more of them at some point, the rabbit hole goes deep kinda like you found with Tool

Raze the Stray, Through Silver in Blood, Souls at Zero, Blisters, & Locust Star are all Neurosis classics.

Sooooo happy you finally did Neurosis. This album is when they first started to get experimental. They really hit their stride with it a few albums later. You should do "the Tide", "The Eye of Every Storm", or "Falling Unknown" next.

Love to see neurosis getting some love. A little bummed you didn’t do “locust star” that song was godly. Neurosis is amazing, Scott Kelly the lead singer and one of the guitarists is mastodon’s closest collaborator and one of the best friends, he been on like 7 of their projects. You should check out a mastodon Scott Kelly song. They “aqua dementia” “crystal skull” “crack the skye” “spectrelight” “diamond in the witch house” “scorpion breath” “fallen torches” pretty. Pretty much all fantastic songs, my fav is “diamond in the witch house”. they also did a show together for kerrang called mastodon live in the kpit and it’s glorious. Anyway neurosis rules and Scott Kelly is awesome, incredible vocalist live too and his collabs with mastodon are magical. Neurosis was also one of if not the biggest influences on mastodon.

Neurosis are truly special. They are similar to Meshuggah in the way that they helped to create a new subgenre of metal (Post-Metal) and influenced a lot of modern bands, like Mastodon for example. It's interesting how they started (more or less) as a hardcore punk band and went on to create these long, massive and atmospheric songs, that often have an tribal, primal energy to them. Glad to hear you liked them! If you'd like a recommendation on what the next step into Neurosis, I'd say try something from Through Silver in Blood or The Eye of Every Storm. All of their stuff is worth checking out, though.

Neurosis are underrated legends, you can tell by the comments almost every album is recommended, rightfully so....

Ah Neurosis!!!!!! A must listen to every metal head. Also you should try band called: year of no light... and do a reaction to their ep persephone

What a fantastic band, holy crap! I've actually never heard of them myself, but they have such a phenomenal way of creating soundscapes that let you sink in to the music, almost like you're reading a book with detailed setting, (or watching a movie, really.) That ending was downright symphonic! I'll def need to check more of these guys out in the future. Thanks for the vid, Geebz. Keep on rockin'!

This album blew my mind when it first came out, and remains not only my favorite neurosis album but my favorite metal album of all time. I had forgotten all the intricacies of this song, what an epic journey! I even got to interviewSteve von till, one of their guitars, around this time when I was a DJ at Kzsu at Stanford. I was coming much more from a punk background, and so was neurosis. This was a giant leap from their last record, and unlike anything else at the time. thanks for such a great breakdown of the song, you’ve got a great ear for details!

Check out the rest of Souls at Zero! It's super different from the rest of their albums.

Without doubt the best thing I've heard here that I'd not heard before. I'd heard of the band, but not really heard anything except in passing. Took chances and owned them. Whether it's the monk chant or flute riff, the ability to hear what will work best and use it is supreme. When I got into making music, my main mantra was "Don't limit yourself. There are no rules in art". If it takes a fucking hurdy gurdy to get the sound the song needs, get yourself a fucking hurdy gurdy and stop worrying about if it's "metal" or not. Will definitely be keeping a closer eye out for more Neurosis. Rich the Ancient Metal Beast

"Enemy of The Sun" is the complete masterpiece of Neurosis!! (with the same ENORMOUS bass player! Not on "Never Sets")

One of the few songs to use Locrian mode effectively (from 14:30 on).

one of the loudest live groups I ever witnessed.

Loved hearing younger Scott Kelly go at it, been a while since I went that far back in their discography. I mean all of it is amazing to hear, especially in contrast with them now. They're still fucking amazing, just nice to hear the contrast in how bands started, and how they evolved, and/or grew into their sound. Been waiting for them, and now I'm very certain we'll get more on the channel in no time, and hopefully more bands like them too. I'd really love to see Amenra on here at some point. I'm sure your post metal journey is gonna go VERY deep Geebz, there's so much to work with and dig into with just Neurosis' discography alone

Some old school Neurosis! /,,/

Finally, some real heavy stuff

AWRIGHT 1st off sry for being away a few weeks: I didn't saw you had reat to Neurosis, the best band in the world (in my mind). This album and all others are masterpieces and they have such a unique way to compose. I'm so glad you finally did one (asked for some 1 or 2 years ago but I'm no patreon). There are so many tracks I would recommand to you; Takeahnase, ennemy of the sun, an offering, aeons, trough silver and blood and so more. Please do more Neurosis and a band called "Fall of Efrafa" could be really fun too; "the fall of efrafa" is the name of the song too Hope you will read these lines, have a good day, greetings from France

Finally you choose them

Glad to see Neurosis! I wasn't sure about the song choice as a starter, but then I realized the person who suggested it tailored it to you perfectly, with all the orchestral arrangements and song structure, etc. Neurosis was THE defining band that basically created the whole prog/post genre. ISIS is very heavily influenced by them, and as ISIS has also many similarities to tool, I like to think of it like tool and Neurosis are two wings of a bird, with ISIS bringing them together as the body. For me they're my big three as the whole sort of muddy genre of prog/post metal goes. You will not be disappointed with Neurosis. Most people suggest "Locust Star" (there's a really good live version from ozzfest) as a starter, but I think you might appreciate them from any point in their discography. If you wanted to shoot from the hip, some albums to start would be "Times of Grace," "Through SIlver in Blood" and "Given to the Rising." I really think you could throw a dart at any track on those three and be satisfied with their very unique and experimental sound that can vary greatly from album to album, but still somehow ends up sounding only like Neurosis.

Thank you Geebz

Sir, it's so refreshing to see you give some airtime to heavy metal band of such high merit and quality. If you liked this sound, please also consider checking out High on Fire.

saw these guys play a small show w/ smp in the upstairs of cafe paradiso off broadway in seattle in the late 90s. place was so packed and jumping so bad that the whole floor was bouncing up and down. went out for a smoke partway thru and you could see the building swelling and flexing, was amazing to see.

Geebz, Cult of Luna just dropped a stellar new album, and the final (main) track, not counting the outro, is called Blood Upon Stone. It is a freaking masterpiece of a song and may have topped my previous favorite by them, Dark City Dead Man - something I didn’t even think possible cuz I love that one so much. I highly, highly recommend you to check out Blood Upon Stone, it is an epic journey and I think it would give you a lot to talk about. Plus, I don’t think you’ve revisited Cult of Luna since you checked out Three Bridges. As a huge fan of your channel, I beg you to check that one out when you get a chance. Awww right!
