Neurosis have released their first new album in a decade, titled An Undying Love For A Burning World.
Spanning eight tracks, the album was recorded across three weekends in Seattle this past winter. The band’s return, they said in a press statement, is “not a reunion – we never broke up”.
The new record sees SUMAC’s Aaron Turner join the band on vocals and guitar. Of his contributions, Neurosis said: “He came straight out of the gate contributing, writing and presenting ideas. His energy matches ours perfectly. It’s as if he was always meant to be there.”
Turner added: “From the moment I first heard Neurosis over 30 years ago, I felt this was the music my heart and mind had been seeking but not yet heard. Now after many years travelling along various musical paths of my own, the singular sound and spirit embodied by Neurosis continues to speak to the depths of my being. It is an honour and a true pleasure to have been welcomed so warmly into a band that not only shaped my perspective on the limitless possibilities of music, but has lived and exemplified the necessity of upholding creative integrity and camaraderie above all else.”
Neurosis are set to play their first show in seven years on the traditional lands of the Blackfeet Nation in Montana as part of Fire In The Mountains festival by special invitation of Firekeeper Alliance, a non-profit dedicated to reducing youth suicide in Indian Country. The festival takes place from 23 to 26 July.
While the full LP is available for streaming and digital download now, physical copies will follow on 15 May, and can be pre-ordered here.
An Undying Love For A Burning World is out now on Neurot Recordings.
