sto riascoltando Sovereign dei Neurosis ; forse sottovalutato per il formato ma grande disco

dispiace

Cave In band che voglio riprovare, ma capiti all'epoca. Mai capito se erano incompresi
So che a Madsun piacevano

[simoirs]

C'è stato un periodo in cui anch'io li ho ascoltati.
Jupiter è un buon album, Antenna il tentativo più commerciale/accessibile mentre dopo sono tornati a pestare pesante. Compaiono nell'articolo sui beautiful losers anni 2000.

Per me avevano un buon orecchio per le melodie. Forse avrebbero meritato qualcosa in più, o forse no.

[madsun]

sì, ho letto stamattina...incidente stradale...mi dispiace, sinceramente.
Band che definirei irrequieta, un pò difficile da inquadrare, i primi 3 album non c'entrano quasi niente uno con l'altro.
- Until your heart stops(primo album ufficiale) è il più metal(core)-oriented, c'è tanto potenziale ma grezzissimo
- Jupiter il loro capolavoro(corredato dagli ep Creative Eclipses e Tides of Tomorrow), per me voto altissimo anche se amoreggiano pericolosamente con sonorità prog
- Antenna il disco con cui tentarono(invano) il successo commerciale, qualche pezzo ottimo(Youth Overrided per esempio), sufficienza piena ma non di più.
Poi sono tornati a sonorità pesanti, ma meno interessanti, secondo me.
Visti nel tour di Antenna, erano anche bravi dal vivo...tecnici e puliti ma senza sbrodolamenti, gusto per le melodie ma pure per le mazzate sui denti quando serviva.
Forse erano troppe cose insieme da incanalare, troppe idee, una direzione non precisa...comunque recuperate Jupiter:

Pain Of Mind (reissue)
Neurot Recordings

Additional commentary on the remastered reissue of Neurosis' debut album, Pain Of Mind.

Show

Neurosis' Pain Of Mind is set to be re-released alongside Christ On Parade's A Mind Is A Terrible Thing full-length. Both initially released in 1987, these two albums will see a simultaneous worldwide reissue on LP, CD, and digital formats on May 25th. The artwork for Pain Of Mind has been updated by Josh Graham (A Storm Of Light) in the tradition of the previously-reissued Neurosis titles, and the album has been remastered by Bob Weston at Chicago Mastering.



Pain of mind, sickness of heart...



Pain Of Mind marks the inception of one of the weirdest and most powerful bands there ever was as they begin their odyssey through the sonic landscape: thirty-three years, eleven albums and counting. These gritty punk songs bear little resemblance to what Neurosis would become, but the future was written here, and if you listen closely to these kids -- barely out of high school at the time, you can hear their early influences: The guitars and existential anguish of Amebix and Rudimentary Peni, the passionate politics of Crass, the heaviness of Sabbath -- and here, too, they lay the foundation for some of their enduring concerns: the pursuit of transcendence, and contemplation on the downward suck of despair.



As Ian MacKaye coyly suggests in the East Bay Punk doc Turn It Around, there are "a lot of holes to fall into" growing up in the Bay Area. In 1987 Dave Edwardson was eighteen, Scott Kelly was nineteen, Jason Roeder was sixteen, Chad Salter, the band elder, was twenty-one, and they had already fallen into many of them, including, of course, the great abyss of depression. Only a teenager could write the punk anthems "Black," "Grey," "Life On Your Knees," and of course the title track, "Pain Of Mind." They are songs of survival.



With Pain Of Mind, Neurosis sunk their claws into the hearts and minds of the East Bay scene like no one else. They were fucking dark, gazing right into the abyss and refusing to turn away. The cacophony of vocals on Pain Of Mind-- Scott's unhinged screams, and Dave's guttural growl, suggested a familiar sort of internal mania: like the voices in an unquiet mind, paranoid, but for all the right reasons. And Jason Story's original cover art perfectly captures that torment.



Neurosis shows in the Pain Of Mind era were like nothing else. The pit was wild; people rolled around on the floor, climbed the walls, threw themselves off the stage. Watching Neurosis play felt like a seizure that reset your brainwaves: shock treatment, an exorcism. For a few days after a show, you always felt real mellow.



Neurosis reminded us that maybe we weren't free, but at least we were locked up together. It sounds melodramatic, but Neurosis might have saved our lives. -- Anna Brown

Legendary guitarist Dylan Carlson (EARTH) announces solo album, premieres first single.

Show

Known first and foremost as the lynchpin of instrumental band Earth, Dylan Carlson has become one of alternative music’s most ambitious pathfinders. It seems beyond appropriate, then, that Carlson’s new solo endeavor is titled Conquistador. The five-track LP channels the indulgent drone of Earth while traversing uncharted sonic terrain. Listen to the album’s first single, “Scorpions In Their Mouths,” today via Paste Magazine (or directly on YouTube).

Untethered from the collaboration and compromise of Earth, Carlson’s previous solo work under the moniker drcarlsonalbion has consistently veered away from the band’s American motifs in favor of English folklore. For his first proper full-length as Dylan Carlson, the guitarist returns West. Whereas Earth has sought to score Cormac McCarthy’s examination of white settlers’ horrific campaign against Native Americans in Blood Meridian, Conquistador bypasses the intermediary narrative of a novelist. Long heralded as a master of minimalism, Carlson’s album demonstrates his ability to craft compelling symphonic compositions while exercising extreme musical frugality.

“I guess what ties this all together—all my musical projects and my life in general—is the idea of the quest, that search for new horizons and something unnamable and possibly unreachable,” Carlson says of the record.

Conquistador was recorded at God City Studios with Kurt Ballou during a weeklong break in Carlson’s 2016 solo tour of the East Coast. After months of gestating the material that would eventually become Conquistador, Carlson viewed the session as an opportunity for both catharsis and collaboration, thanks to contributions from the esteemed Emma Ruth Rundle (baritone and slide guitar) and his wife Holly Carlson (percussion, photography, cover model).

Conquistador is due out via Sargent House on April 27; preorder physical copies of the album here and digital copies here, and see Dylan Carlson on tour in support of the album this summer with SLEEP. More news coming soon.

Conquistador Track Listing:
1. Conquistador
2. When The Horses Were Shorn Of Their Hooves
3. And then the Crows Descended
4. Scorpions in their Mouths
5. Reaching the Gulf
