Given to the Rising

Now in its third decade of innovative noisy psychedelic-metallic thunder, Neurosis is more than a just a powerful band-- it's a religious experience. As such, personal epiphanies are repeatedly told both by those who've been converted by Neurosis' sensory overloading live show and by those who've felt transformed while listening to the legendary quintet's recordings. Given To The Rising is both reflective of the aggressive pummeling for which Neurosis is known, as well as an exploration into psychoactive prog-rock and eviscerating symphonic heft that moves well beyond what we've all come to recognize as the 'Neurosis note.'
