About

Neurosis is an American post-metal band from Oakland, California. It was formed in 1985 by guitarist Scott Kelly, bassist Dave Edwardson, and drummer Jason Roeder, initially as a crust punk band. Chad Salter joined as a second guitarist and appeared on the band's 1987 debut Pain of Mind, and then Steve Von Till replaced him in 1989. The following year, the lineup further expanded to include a keyboardist and a visual artist. Beginning with their third album Souls at Zero (1992), Neurosis transformed their hardcore sound by incorporating diverse influences including doom metal and industrial music, becoming a major force in the emergence of the post-metal and sludge metal genres.

The band's lineup stabilized in 1995 with the addition of Noah Landis, who replaced Simon McIlroy on keyboards and electronics. That same year they formed the experimental music group Tribes of Neurot and in 1999 the record label Neurot Recordings. This line-up remained stable until 2019, when the band parted ways with Kelly after discovering his history of domestic violence against his family, though this would not come to light until August 2022 out of respect for the privacy of Kelly's family members. Kelly's firing left the band in hiatus until 2026, with the addition of vocalist/guitarist Aaron Turner (formerly of Isis) and the surprise release of their twelfth album An Undying Love for a Burning World in March of that year.

Neurosis have garnered critical recognition over the course of their 12 studio albums. The BBC credited them with taking "heavy music to previously unimaginable spaces ... [and shaping] metal's definitive response to the 21st century."

Neurosis est un groupe de post-metal américain, originaire d'Oakland, en Californie. Neurosis a inspiré de nombreux groupes comme Isis ou Cult of Luna qui voient le jour au début des années 2000.

Une partie des membres de Neurosis a un projet parallèle très expérimental nommé Tribes of Neurot, dans lequel ils ne jouent que des morceaux instrumentaux. Il s'agit d'expérimentations dont le style est très difficile à déceler, avec notamment de grosses influences de musiques tribales, alliées avec des atmosphères très oppressantes et sombres. L'album Times of Grace de Neurosis peut d'ailleurs se superposer de manière sonore avec un album de Tribes of Neurot, Grace. Les deux albums ont été conçus de manière à se compléter l'un l'autre par superposition.
