Same! Idk why but this song and video popped in my head today. I almost forgot about Nuerosis, but remembered everything about this video and how I first felt watching it in high school back in 2012…

[@atomicclockagency]

This video was posted in February 2006. KZbin was created in 2005. Legend has it, it was created purely to share the awesomeness of this video.

[@kushantaiidan]

I Love how their microphones sway around in the chaos, smashing them in their faces, while they strangle their instruments like they're trying to kill a loved one with their bare hands, while screaming for a star to crash into the planet.

[@leeborocz-johnson1649]

The only problem I have with this video is that I wasn't there when it was recorded.

[@tcbshaded39]

Still to this day I regard Through Silver in Blood as one of the most powerful metal albums recorded in history. This is pure, unleashed anger. Does it look like they are holding back at all on that stage? They turn into one powerful entity that is most certainly not human. Unreal.

[@princealigorna7468]

If someone asks what "post-metal" is, I just show them this clip. It is everything that subgenre should be. It has the punk attitude, the doom-inspired crashing and crushing heaviness, it has the post-rock light passages, it has the meditative but mildly disturbed atmosphere...all these bands, from Isis and early Intronaut to the more melodic stuff like Pelican, The Ocean, and Russian Circles, would not be here without Neurosis. And none of them have played it more intensely. While they go for the spacey vibes and mellow tones, Neurosis is an out-of-body experience of pain. A pain so exquisite, so mind-numbing, that it becomes transcendental. A pain that makes you touch God.

[@coryleblanc]

Strange to say, but i have to confirm that.. 16years ago when my best friend committed suicide, i was really down, and this album helped me a lot..(as i can see it now). I thought that, there is no other music wich is stronger,deeper, darker like the Through silver in blood..it balanced the pain inside me.

[@0_Comprimise9]

Got the chills reading this. Can't put my finger on how to describe this feeling in this song when I share with others. 💪🤘🤘

[@dannymontoya9469]

The Universal Language.

[@dudeok5978]

Drummer Jason Roeder is terrific. Each member of this band is irreplaceable- but none of this would work without Roeder. His playing Is always singular and unique, never over the top, as much about restraint as it is complexity.

[@coryleblanc]

subtle fills

[@Quake18]

he is the lord of the tribal feel as far as metal goes

[@charlottekrasny]

Yes, fucking love Jason and he's one of my absolutely faves. But very underrated imo. And I love that he's in Sleep now. Chris was an insane drummer but The Sciences with Jason is probably their best album ever and I love to watch the live shows too

[@postshanna]

this video was on the ozzfest vhs i bought at circuit city when i was in middle school. it had coal chamber, slayer, sepultura, ozzy etc . i would always ffwd neurosis cause i just couldnt handle it. it was too heavy for my little 7th grade mind. it made me feel weird lol. cut to 20 years later and its prob my fav performance ever

[@steveprice7038]

It’s funny you mention that,there were some neurosis albums I couldn’t get into when they first come out, revisit them a couple of years later, and it’s just fucking epic🥊💥

[@stabyourcat]

That’s really cool. I always have wondered what Neurosis being at Ozzfest did for the people watching.

[@benhur933]

I got the the ozzfest 97 album for my birthday which had the music and dvd, changed my world.

Those are bass pedals, conventionally they are operated by feet, but fists are fine too.

[@DonovanPete]

Years ago, I remember playing in my first band. After a night of partying, our drummer was up in the morning with coffee in hand, he played this OzzFest DVD and he woke me up to tell me, "hey, its your favorite band!" I never heard of Neurosis until I seen this song played on the DVD. I was completely blown away because it never dawned on me that you can make such heavy, sludgey, and atmospheric music all at the same time. This solidified my love for the post-metal movement!

[@TheLunadaz]

You can actually feel pure sorrow, aggression and despair oozing out of the performance.

[@wisterV]

Any band can scream and shout and even play heavy or dark but this just transcends.

[@mschell8022]

They stand out from everything else, they're the the first root of the concept of "post-metal"

[@whniwsyrsndtrck3279]

I don't think I'll ever understand how Neurosis made it into the bill for Ozzfest '98. Every other band their was either Ozzy, Slayer, or something that sounded like Coal Chamber or Sevendust. And here we are with *proper* metal, ripping everyone's faces off in the middle of the Summer at the Glenn Helen Pavilion (now the Honda Center at Glenn Helen) in San Bernadino. This, and Sepultura were the highlights of the entire tour.

[@incraftcorner]

As I recall Max Cavalera praising Neurosis - Afterseeing Neurosis play those tribal drums at the beginning of through silver in blood live he decided sepultura will play Kaiowas as part of their live set. Where as they never before.

[@timwink3592]

I think they actually scared the nu metal kids. It was fantastic.

[@humantacos9800]

This is one of the most intense songs ever.

[@timwink3592]

The date I saw did not have Slayer or Sepultura (though Max was in Soulfly at this point, so their peak had past) - we had like, Marilyn Manson and Pantera. Other than that, really a shit show of bands like Powerman 5000 and Coal Chamber, etc. Neurosis really were a highlight - though Type O Negative were also a good live band per usual and reunited Black Sabbath were pretty unfuckwithable, even though it took hours of waiting through everything else to get to them.

[@wanderer1031]

whniwsyrsndtrck +whniwsyrsndtrck idk but it was probably on a side stage too...whatever the case this shit truly rips my skull off and mashes my battered brain to pieces

Neurosis is the most incredible band. I saw them in '97 open for Pantera in Peoria,IL and still remember it like it was last week. They are the only band to this day to scare the shit out of me!

There's something so visceral and pure about them.. Rage without the petty human baggage.. absolutely beautiful.

[@Daniel-le5kn]

I love them. I really do. I even own the limited edition "strength and vision" boxed set with all of their records on both cds and vynils. And i bought a turntable JUST for that. It always amazes me how the drummer can raise all hell with just a 4-piece set. Sounds like the whole tribal polulation of Africa banging on skins.

[@Patrick-mg3jp]

Just watch the bass player, his facial expressions showxthe intensity of this band. The pure emotion behind this music. I dont know how they wrote this dark ass music but im so happy they tapped into such a dark place while they wrote

[@MrMalicious5]

The Eye of Every Storm, I believe, is their best album. It seems to be the best mix of newer(calmer) Neurosis and older(dark and intense) albums. It is complete, with every track being absolutely perfect. Wait until you listen to I Can See You, Bridges, Burn, A Season In the Sky etc etc.

[@DartthePirateoverlor]

Bought the Ozzfest CD just for this song. Worth it

[@PimpyGDawg]

I will be seeing these guys Saturday in Montreal. Afterwards, my life will be complete.

[@johnryan509]

How was that gig, by the way?

[@PimpyGDawg]

Haha, totally forgot about writing this comment. It was spectacular: they played basically their best songs, and their performance was spot-on. I've never seen such a perfect rendition in a live setting before. Really stole the show from GY!BE, and managed to terrify a few hipsters in the crowd. All was good.

[@johnryan509]

Pimpy G. Dawg I am partial to a bit of post rock myself, and I am a GY!BE fan, but when it comes to the live forum, Neurosis are the better band, in my opinion. Sounds like you had a blast, mate.

While their music alone is genius, the audio/visual combo is indescribable. I first saw them open for Pantera in 96? having previously only heard a few songs. I was about 16, and it was one of the most emotional things (musically) i had ever experienced. they simultaneously scared me to death, yet put me in a deep trance. amazingly, they still put out insanely good music every time.
