Easily one of the best metal bands ever, in my opinion.

Yeah, killer band. A post-punk approach to sludge. "Enemy of the Sun"...what an excellent album!

Voivod, Killing Joke, Celtic Frost, Neurosis, Kyuss, Electric Wizard etc. are my kind of prog-metal.

NEUROSIS IS COOL BETTER THEN ALL THAT NEW WANT TO BE METAL OUT THERE

O.k., it's been a long time since this thread has been active. Let me just say I'm a long time Neurosis fan. I "discovered" them with "Souls at Zero", and that is still my favorite Neurosis album. My interest gradually declined over the years. However, I thought "The Eye of Every Storm" was their best album since that time, and they have continued that trend with their latest, "Given to the Rising". It's pretty good stuff, and if you're a Neurosis fan, or even just a metal head, I'd recommend it.

Ahh yes. Neurosis.

I did my time living in and booking shows for smaller venues (mostly post punk, experimental stuff) and those guys are phenomenal live. And they are really nice guys with interesting side projects. You should check out some of the music they have helped produce as well as their own new music, and associated side projects by going to the Neurotrecordings.com site. They have definitely gone the way of more progressive and experimental sounds lately, and it can be a little daunting trying to take on this music if you're into heavier rock music and haven't really taken on jazz or neo-folk... but any member of Neurosis, deserves a listen of their other projects just because they are such great guys personally.

And, "The Web" remains one of my all time favorite songs. I won't forget easily what it was like to hear and watch them play it 5 feet from the stack.

e-mummy

I just recently started listening to 'Through Silver In Blood'. Holy crap, what an album!

I haven't heard Souls at Zero but everything from Enemy of the Sun forward is good to varying degrees. I'm not really a fan of Pain of Mind, the early crust sounding stuff. I'd rather just listen to Discharge or His Hero is Gone than Neurosis doing that kind of stuff. Fucking great band though.
