Congrats on being the first Neurosis reactor! Hell yeah! I recommended Locust Star because it's one of their "shortest" songs, and it's one of their popular ones too. But yeah, not all of their songs sound the same, but the core heaviness and sludgy-ness remain. There's so much I could recommend from them. "Through Silver in Blood" is another popular one, but it is over 10 minutes. "The Doorway", "Fear and Sickness", "Lost", and "To Crawl Under One's Skin" are some good ones. There's too many to recommend though. I highly recommend listening to their albums on your own, if you choose not to react to them though. They create such a heavy atmosphere, and they've been consistently putting out highly acclaimed albums for 30 years. If you'd like to explore more different music from other groups, here's the list again! Cynic (metal/jazz fusion) - Space for This Battle of Mice (post/sludge metal) - Bones in the Water, or The Lamb and the Labrador (Pretty please!) Zeal and Ardor (experimental, black metal) - Row Row DALEK (rap/post metal) - Eyes to Form Shadows Between the Buried and Me (prog. metal) - The Coma Machine Chelsea Wolfe (gothic, experimental) - Hiss Spun Massive Attack (trip hop) - Pray for Rain Sigur Ros (post rock/ambient) - Brenninstein
Finally someone reacting to them! Neurosis is one of my favorite bands. They are so influential but nobody seems to know about them. Please check out more of their songs, i recommend "A Sun That Never Sets" or any of their songs really.
lol. When that riff hits int the chorus. Hit me the same way man - so long ago. If you really want a Neurosis riff to blow your head off listen to "The Doorway". That ones as big as a mountain.
this album is so amazing. i barely listen to any metal but this is one of my favourite albums of all time, and this is one of my favourite songs on the album
Also, an enormous THANK YOU for getting around to my Neurosis suggestion! I always enjoy having people experience different kinds/variations of genres, and I felt Neurosis was criminally unexplored with reactions on CZcams.
I love all sorts of music but neurosis has a special place deep where the pain lies for me. Some top tracks I recommend are Origin, Through Silver In Blood, Stones From The Sky and From The Hill
Its 3 members on the band singing on this song. Its not any overlay. Its what it sounds live. Ive never tryed to analyze neurosis lyrics after enemy of the sun. You just floathe with it. Its no clear political message or any of that stuff. They were doing a shitload of acid around these years 91 to 99. And alot reflects on the lyrics. I was touring with them on 96. They was so intense and serious about their music and the whole concept of what they did spiritual. It was beyond. Best band i ever experience live
Powerful instrumentals, agonized vocals. I think the lyrics are secondary in a lot of tracks one hears, more vehicles for expressing feelings than conveying thoughts, or for eliciting mental associations rather than making a direct point. Just my two cents. I would love to hear you react to "Escalator Shrine" (the studio version) by Riverside. I realize I've plugged this one before. But it really is extraordinary, IMHO.
Great to see Neurosis reactions. I also really thought you hit the nail with a lot of the words you used to describe their sound. Through Silver in Blood is definitely their most abrassive and agonizing album, since it was made at what the members have described to be probably the lowest point in their lives emotionally, which is why it has such an intense sound that I'm glad you noticed. Just as a small extra, the vocals are not layered, the band has 2 main vocalists (Scott Kelly & Steve Von Till) which can sound very similar at times and the bassist Dave Edwardson (deep voice at the end) also performs in several, mostly older songs. Really encourage you to try some of their other songs! They have a surprisingly diverse catalogue and at least 5 albums that are really top notch musical efforts, so you almost can do no wrong with whatever song you pick.
Through Silver in Blood is a pretty fantastic album; it's one of those albums like Ænima or Antichrist Superstar that all of us gen-X-ers were listening to at the time. Neurosis never garnered the same mainstream appeal that Tool or Manson (or even Ministry) did though, which is too bad; they're a great band.
I was anticipating your reaction... lol You seem relatively young, and as a seasoned fan of this band... who I never got to see live, but I saw their own biggest influence twice... the band Swans... anyway... killer review of this track and your first time experiencing them... some people don’t get music like this... they are the forebearers of what’s called “post metal”. Yes there’s simplicity to the music, and minimalism is key to the sound. Cool to see a person of a new generation like this bands sound... that being you. Great review. You felt it.
Also, I don’t know if this is true or even how true it is... he wrote this after his wife and daughter died in a car crash? I don’t recall where I read that bit of info from... so definitely don’t take my word on that.... and the meaning does incline toward spiritual and philosophical ideas. “The Will to Power” is a book by Friedrich Nietzsche, an existentialist philosopher who said “God is dead” and he’s been known for that from the get go. And also the lines “that which is below, is as that which is above. And that which is above is as that which is below.” That if I’m not mistaken, is related to the Occult origins of Thelema and I think Aleistar Crowley? I forget, but I know it’s related to the occult.
Hey man, thank you for your thoughtful comments, they are much appreciated! Glad to hear that you liked the video, especially coming from someone who seems to really like the band. I'm always trying my best to expand my musical horizons and discover new things so it was cool to be able to experience this sound!
Juniio nice, in my late teens I decided hardcore punk, grindcore, and extreme metal weren’t enough, and slowly started exploring across the board of anything, especially in independently released music. Now there’s too much out there that I can hardly even keep track of unless I have it downloaded and archived . Can I give a recommendation? It’s dark ambient music... Deathprod - Treetop Drive 3.
Can't believe I just watched a Neurosis reaction video on CZcams! Wish I could get him to listen to the first 3 tracks on Through Silver in Blood back to back! And you're right--they're not virtuoso's. They are guides to rich, dark places and feelings.
You're right buddy, it's not technical musique, but certainly one of the most darkest of all times. Let's try "the eye of every storm" from the same band, and, if you enjoy this band, after their debut period, "through silver in blood", Times of Grace" and "The eye of every storm" are, according to me, their bests albums. This band belongs to my trinity, with Tool and Meshuggah. Without Neurosis, Bands such Krueger, Cult of Luna, Isis, Mastodon and so many, many more wouldn't exist. A french fan from Neurosis since 1996. P.S: Sorry in advance if my english is not perfect
BRO you gotta listen to more Neurosis? If you’ve already listened to the album by now then that’s great, but if not PLEASE react to more songs by them! Especially this album
Song is pretty awesome. Never fully got into Neurosis, though I always respected the little I had heard. Also in part because they influenced one of my favorite bands ever; Isis -- They do a lot of Neurosis type stuff, but they add in a bit more 'delicate' moments that are actually reminiscent of Tool (who they toured with in 2006).

Somehow just saw this comment two months late but I'm loving all these suggestions! Thanks!
@@JuniioMusic No problem, dude! If you get around to them, I really look forward to it! 👍
@@JuniioMusic Battle of Mice are absolutely sick! Bones in the Water is a forever playlist tune.
I will never forget hearing them live. Very powerful experience.

Most people that listening to metal and hardcore for some years have heard Neurosis. They are the godfathers of intensity.
@@danglenzig they make intensity take a back seat man. Every album they have released is a driving force
Neurosis and Godflesh need some listens.
lol. When that riff hits int the chorus. Hit me the same way man - so long ago. If you really want a Neurosis riff to blow your head off listen to "The Doorway". That ones as big as a mountain.
I'll add it to the list, thanks for the suggestion!
You’re approving “okay …” when the distortion comes in was perfection.
this album is so amazing. i barely listen to any metal but this is one of my favourite albums of all time, and this is one of my favourite songs on the album

Birian, you did it !
...'pure raw emotion' ...this is what Neurosis is all about, especially on this album.
I love all sorts of music but neurosis has a special place deep where the pain lies for me. Some top tracks I recommend are Origin, Through Silver In Blood, Stones From The Sky and From The Hill
I'll add them to the list!
@@JuniioMusic Good shit! Subscribed!! Keep up the good work

Thanks for the info. I'd definitely be interested in reacting to more Neurosis songs. I like the idea of abrasive and agonizing haha.
Purify is one of the greatest songs I've ever heard, shit is a trip
You sir have a new subscriber for doing this. Neurosis is my passion band, Crushingly beautiful. When the world ends, they should be playing it out...
I figure that's what they wrote Aeon for.
Finally a Neurosis reaction on youtube...well done! You are a pioneer ;) Can you react to "Acid Bath" or "Melvins"?
Can you try out Acid Bath - Tranquilized, Scream of the Butterfly, Paegan Love Song?
Neurosis definitely have a tribal vibe to them with the repetition. Makes sense they have an ambient side project.
Through Silver in Blood is a pretty fantastic album; it's one of those albums like Ænima or Antichrist Superstar that all of us gen-X-ers were listening to at the time. Neurosis never garnered the same mainstream appeal that Tool or Manson (or even Ministry) did though, which is too bad; they're a great band.

Well I'll for sure listen to those three songs someday, if not for a reaction video then when I'm just chillin and listening to music.
Stones from the Sky!!!!!!
Author & Punisher - Nihil Strength music video.
Never heard Neurosis, really cool sound
Author and Punisher is dope as fuck. And yeah, Neurosis is incredible.
Fuck all these recommendations and just listen to more Neurosis

P.S: Sorry in advance if my english is not perfect
Watch the black and white live Version my man. Most intense thing ever.
The moment you watched that and realized no band ever can be that heavy. 5 psychopaths preventing each other from atrocities .
yep gotta see the live ozzfest version!!
BRO you gotta listen to more Neurosis? If you’ve already listened to the album by now then that’s great, but if not PLEASE react to more songs by them! Especially this album
Fuck yeah, Neurosis. This is one hell of a band dude. Everything Scott Kelly has ever touched is golden.
Song is pretty awesome. Never fully got into Neurosis, though I always respected the little I had heard.

Stones From the Sky is the shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.
Diablo Swing Orchestra - A tap dancer's dilemma

Expect the lie! nothing but the truth! Accept the crime! Without any proof! The blood drips from the wall! The Lord's prayer under me!
Neurosis - Purify
Dig it
An offering
I wish I were a goat so I could finally get some attention!
more gojira please :) and children of bodom too
PRIMITIVE MAN is the modern, intense equivalent of this. Please react to Primitive Man - My Will! That's a good beginner track.
no it isnt in the slightest. I LOVE PM but NOTHING like Neurosis
