Neurosis

Appalachian troubadours U.S. Christmas will be releasing 'Run Thick in the Night,' their fifth album, this fall via Neurot Recordings. The band, whose quirky name is pulled from the 1973 Sam Peckinpah film 'Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid,' peddle a "unique brand of psychedelic, high-volume blues rock," according to their bio, but the description sells U...

On Aug. 30, San Francisco post-metal pioneers Neurosis will re-issue their 1993 classic 'Enemy of the Sun' to celebrate the band's 25th anniversary. The follow-up to 1992's bracing 'Souls at Zero,' 'Enemy of the Sun' took Neurosis to new depths of beautiful bleakness, enhancing their dense sound with crushing riffs, ominous samples and tortured vocals -- all of which built from a whisper to a scre

Lava-spewing volcanoes look pretty damn cool on album covers, but the past week has taught us that volcanoes and metal don't always mix so well. As anyone who doesn't live in a torch-lit cave knows by now, an Icelandic volcano erupted April 15, spreading clouds of ash across much of Europe and grounding hundreds of planes...

Now that Scion's second annual metal extravaganza has come, seen, conquered and gone, we metal folk have some time to breathe easy (until Maryland Deathfest, anyway) and reflect upon shows gone by. During the blessed downtime, this Noisecreep writer had the very special privilege to speak via email with one Scott Kelly, an extreme metal icon and musical legend in his own right...

In the past, Brooklyn, N.Y. post-metal doom band A Storm of Light have been content working with a rotating lineup of drummers including Vinny Signoreli (Unsane, Swans), Jason Roeder (Neurosis) and Pete Angevine (Satanized). However, with a wave of new projects washing their way, the group has decided to find a full-time drummer...

One of the first shows A Storm of Light played after forming a couple of years back was in Brooklyn, N.Y., opening for San Franciscan post-metal giants Neurosis and a then less-well-known Georgia band called Mastodon. "That was kind of intimidating," singer and guitarist Josh Graham told Noisecreep...

A Storm of Light have confirmed an extensive U.S. winter/spring tour, which launches Feb. 18 in Philadelphia. The doom experimentalists live lineup, however, will differ from the players featured on the band's October-released second full-length, 'Forgive Us Our Trespasses...

This March marks the second Scion Rock Fest, which premiered in Atlanta last February. The location has moved to Columbus, Ohio and will take place on March 13. Once again, the event will be free, and you'll need to RSVP and follow the instructions to obtain your ticket, as there is a limited supply...

"This is not a reunion," Swans co-founder Michael Gira declares in bold in his statement regarding the influential noise act's second coming. "It's not some dumb-ass nostalgia act. It is not repeating the past. After five Angels of Light albums, I needed a way to move forward, in a new direction, and it just so happens that revivifying the idea of Swans is allowing me to do that...

Nashville's Evil Bebos have been making a quick name for themselves and their unique architecture of noise and textures. Their tapestry comes from an adoration of Neurosis, as is expected of almost any band doing layered, dissonant orchestrations...
