Neurosis - Through Silver In Blood

[@magpieix]

I used to play this song all the time on my radio show, and about the 5 minute mark I wold start getting phone calls, asking how much longer it was going to last. I think people couldn't wrap their heads around a 12 minute song on the radio.

[@TheCelestialAgency]

magpieix - i get that shit all the time on my show too. If it's longer than 5 or 6 minutes it seems people start getting restless and twitchy

[@velhomagal5004]

One of the most unique musical experiences. This album is perfect from the start to finish

[@iamtherobot]

i think the 'no description available' sums up the song pretty well.

[@The_Real_ZC]

I've gone through many genres in my musical life from teenager to present day; alt rock, grunge, punk, hardcore, death metal, mathcore, rap, classic rock, etc etc etc. I've heard probably thousands of bands, maybe hundreds of thousands of songs. After all that I have to say that Neurosis has the most uniquely powerful sound Ive ever come across. The combination of rawness, energy, pure emotion, darkness, and how they combine it together in every song. Neurosis are unmatched. Legends.

[@dreamsister6339]

Listen to death grips

[@loyaluwang4228]

True they make the heaviest music till date

[@deltronzero9]

agreed they are the at the top of the mountain.

[@himjl2]

Neurosis is one of my absolute favorite bands. I remember listening to this song when I toured Pompeii. It was about closing time and there was almost nobody there.That was absolutely magical. I highly recommend.

[@itookallthenames]

cool story. I had this on as I was climbing a volcano in Indonesia on my own. I got lost, and it was epic.

[@itookallthenames]

wow, I couldn't do that man. But maybe if I had this song on in my headphones. In my walkman, in 1998, lost in the forest.

Brings back so many many memories. When I was in high school my parents (obviously) hated my tastes in music. But they could deal with Pantera, Slayer...hell even Cannibal Corpse and Deicide. But Neurosis drove them up the fucking wall lmao!

[@jennifermaclean4551]

I saw these guys when I was in University like 14 or 15 years ago. They had three drum kits set up, all this tribal drumming... blew my fucking mind. amazing show.

[@tobiasblackmore1482]

There are so many good bands, I'm always finding new ones in multiple genres. This is that point where you listen to a band you've been meaning to check out and you go "where the hell have I been? This is great!"

[@aaronkelly9274]

This is probably the best album I have ever listened to. I was a massive Tool fan about 5 years ago now sitting in agony waiting for a new album having no idea who Neurosis were. Fast forward 5 years and here I am at a venue at the most intense, surreal and intimate gig I have ever witnessed and that includes Tool, NIN, Machinehead and a host of others. Got to shake Steve Von Till and Scott Kelly's hand just to thank them for the experience! I couldn't care less if Tool released another album now (although I love Puscifer). It all started with Isis and then a gradual transition to Neurosis. I am sad I have only just found them but being an Australian Neurosis fan is hard. They have only toured here twice but I can't complain. They have jobs and young families and we are a long, long way away for band whose motivation is raw emotion and energy rather than money.

[@samsocash9514]

Fucking same man. Neurosis does everything tool does but better (save for the complex polymeter stuff). Only tool songs that can stand toe to toe with Neurosis are The Grudge, Lateralus, The Patient, Jambi, and Jimmy.

[@Goose21]

Man being an Australian metal fan is hard in general especially over here in Perth. Ever since soundwave stopped when a big act comes over it’s like a miracle

[@svobodasimon1185]

absolute legends and masters of their own art. 30 years of strenght and vision.

[@luxi378]

you can play exactly 1 second of it and its clear its fucking neurosis...they're truly outstanding in every sense of the word.

[@dan-andreinafureanu6046]

Just saw them live and I can say that their concert was one of the most intense, extreme and unnerving experiences I've ever had. This was the last song they played and throughout it I felt like my cells wanted to rip themselves to shreds and divide. Jaw dropping performance... It was like someone chocking you, but you wouldn't die, you would just suffocate for an hour straight... Neurosis and Swans are just the best bands that I've seen live. Every "extreme" musician should aspire to be just like them.

[@greghayes8689]

[@Cseplesz]

[@locustdawnband]

Dan-Andrei Năfureanu I saw them last year as well and it was beyond amazing

[@charlottekrasny]

Definitely and I'd like to add GODFLESH, I fucking adore them. They're influenced by early Swans and the mighty Killing Joke. Also they're often opening for Neurosis. Saw them all live yet exept Swans

[@SC-pm5gm]

Yes I to have seen these guys and swans,many others as well of course, but the 2 youve mentioned were by far intense experiences. I completely agree.

[@kwoods5721]

my love for this band has not changed in the more than 15 years i've been listening to them. you know the music they make is from the heart, because most of them, as far as i'm aware, have day jobs, being that this isn't there primary income, they make this music for us, not for profit, but to connect with us in ways that can't be expressed in words, to show us that we are not alone in the struggles of existence and longing and searching for beauty in the most unfavorable places, godspeed guys!

[@johngillihan2218]

I've always loved this band. I remember picking this up at my local record store & I was completely blown away. I never heard anything so catastrophic and bone shattering, every note, percussion, sound, sample, vocals it literally sends the brain into a hypnotic trance of fear and dread. Such an influential band. Great album.

[@dominon929]

[@sneasel.99]

One of the best metal albums of all time

[@guilhermefioresi7538]

25 years and the weight of this thing is still unmatched in music. Absolutely colossal and monstrously heavy

[@ThomasWoodGo]

"You know what, why don't we wait until 6:06 into the song before we completely change things up, then continue to rock on in even sludgier awesomeness for another 6+ minutes" said no one ever when planning a song, except fucking Neurosis. Fucking A guys. Great song. Is this even still a fucking song? I feel more like I listened to a short album without any divisions. I don't know, this song definitely feels like it must have been some other sort of a release to create, a release I guess I can live vicariously through and wax poetic about on the bathroom stall of the internet.

[@Beelzebubbbbles]

Souls At Zero is where they really kick it off, before that they were very much a hardcore punk band. I've got everything they've ever recorded, and I still play Souls more than any other. If Neurosis didn't exist, we'd never have heard Isis, and all the bands that Isis inspired.

[@EnglishSteel2347]

One of the most original bands ever, such an experience to audibly absorb.

Through silver in blood We stand judged not by Eyes of flesh, when Transit times cross Prey vision consumed Bleeding one Bleed alone Breeding love Windstorm promised The teeth strained Eyes see glory Rings end in slow Death wash out Your wound, rings End in slow death Don't crawl seek his burn of war When the fallout comes he is fire

[@LoganardoDVinci]

“When transit times cross”? I see this line on every lyrics site, but I cannot hear it that way at all. Unfortunately, I don’t have a better interpretation.

[@kwoods5721]

as with any art, not everyone gets it or is meant to get it, that's the beauty of music, doesn't make one bit of difference to the fans whether you like it or not, i always loved Neurosis because they never changed their style for money/careers and in that way, stayed true to their fans, real artists that never cared about money as much as making the intense connection that is felt when i listen to their music (this album especially) because it's always good to know that yr not alone

And I'm no stranger to rough production. But can you imagine what this would sound like with the "separtion" and bigger sound spectrum of everything after this album? Recording albums is always old-fucker, record label squabbling shit-ass. But I'd love a new recording of this. Mainly to make the machine gun picking to the main riff clearer so my friends don't think this is just "noise."

Crack the Skye is probably their second best album, after Leviathan. I was lukewarm to The Hunter at first, but have since begun to except it for what it is; a collection of mostly good songs and not a conceptual prog album like most of their previous releases.
