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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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🥊💥

I met a few of these guys after they played on the second stage at Ozzfest 97. I was so surprised by how friendly they were, because they are absolutely fucking terrifying onstage.

[@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!

Damn, nine years ago I saw this video for the first time and that was my introduction to Neurosis. I've since seen them live twice and will likely see them for a third time this year. What a great musical journey this performance started me on.

[@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.

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! Some bands might sound like them but Neurosis doesn't sound like anybody. Every album is great in its own way and I will always be listening.

[@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.

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.
