@@tfwnoyandere Yah, but that's not where I'm coming from, pinky promise. The stuff I described (out of fistration that it's even an issue) is quite literally fine tuned and designed to go against our natural frequencies at a cellular level, while redundantly numbing the mind with banality and "art" created from a marketing standpoint. It hasn't always been like this, and perhaps it may see a shift in the future, but calling it as I see it now, the standard of what is most broadly broadcast is set pitifully low from where it could be.

I got this album on release and straight away knew it was special. The artwork, titles, lyrics and music all fell into place nicely. Purify, to me is the heaviest song ever.
Have seen them twice, but probably not in years. They did a killer show at the old Trocadero Transfer in SF. Met Jello Biafra. Truck got broken into. Slept on a beach as the sun came up. Memorable evening.
There are so many great albums, magnum opuses in metal, however I often find that, when I check out such an album, I'm a bit disappointed. Maybe I expect too much, but for me, a lot of the iconic albums of metal bands are just not as great as I expect them to be. Here it is not the case, it hits the nail right on the head. I never had a drug fueled trip, never took acid, or a mushroom, or anything like that, but listening to Neurosis still gives you that transcendent feeling, which is no small feat. I have not really heard any other band that managed to do that. Maybe some older Meshuggah, or Paradise Lost; but this is just a different kind of hit.
Sound on my mind reminds me of a old Cortázar short story, about a 20 century Guy who out of blue, find himself being chase by natives from a another era.
The song "Purify" by Neurosis depicts a journey of spiritual transformation and personal purification. The lyrics employ vivid imagery and metaphors to paint a picture of introspection, growth, and the quest for enlightenment. The opening lines ("Blazing eye sees all / Nature of fiery truth") suggest the presence of an all-seeing and all-knowing force, possibly representing a higher power or inner consciousness. The "Patterns unfold / Whispers revealing" symbolize the unveiling of hidden truths or insights that guide the protagonist along their path. The lyrics "Path of spiral reaps / Fetal buried gold" imply the discovery and exploration of deep-seated potential within oneself. This journey is characterized by humility and a recognition of one's origins, as indicated by the line "Humbled in the womb / A center opens / To the unknown." The line "Set your mind to soil" implies grounding oneself and connecting with the earth, perhaps suggesting the importance of finding balance and stability during this transformative process. The closing lines ("Flames to blades / On earth, stabbing / Scorching sacred lust / Fall back to stone / Fall back on spear") depict a confrontation with primal instincts and desires. This could represent a necessary reckoning with one's shadow self or deeply ingrained patterns that hinder spiritual progress. Overall, "Purify" explores the themes of inner transformation, spiritual awakening, and the pursuit of enlightenment. It portrays a journey that requires humility, sacrifice, and self-reflection while acknowledging the struggle to overcome personal obstacles and find alignment with higher truths.
sekhui I agree that they're pretty different from what they used to be. But that's the great thing about Neurosis, their evolution. Through Silver in Blood was also drastically different from say, Souls at Zero. I love every version and album of this band.
DaemoniumCC I'm sorry that my previous comment seems so aggressive. Thank you for your calm reply. The fact is that this band hit me pretty hard during an emotionally difficult, teenage-angst phase of my life. 15 years ago or so when I walked into a record store and asked the proprietor, "Is there anything harder than Nine Inch Nails?" I was profoundly lucky to have this kind metalhead drop this album on me and to walk out a while later with the top of my head blown off. You know how Neurosis of this era, and Enemy of the Sun too, is just somehow way heavier than anything else. So the band, in that incarnation, just has a special place in my old bitter heart. I do apologize for being drunk and emotional, again. And I'm sorry for not replying earlier. Working my ass off is all I can do lately. P.S. Souls at Zero is a monster album too.
sekhui No apology needed man. You bring up a good point, in that they are pretty far away from what they used to be. But I like that. That said, there's just nothing that can match old Neurosis. It's just special.. and still heavy and frightening as fuck. Take it easy dude.
Nolan Beasinger The Tide was the first song I heard from them and I loved it. Have had Souls at Zero and Enemy of the Sun on repeat since. Not always too sure of the messages, but I feel like the lyrics are well written.
It isn't "heavy" in the sense that shitty deathcore is "heavy", though there's a solid core of ultra slow doom metal to it. It's more "heavy" in the sense that Pink Floyd and Godspeed You! Black Emperor can be heavy...it feels like a journey into some pretty heavy emotions.
mousiedung Deathcore is awful dude, and I can see that Neurosis has a lot of weight to their sound. It's sludgy, raw and heavy like that of a juggernaut. I understand that they're progressive, and I see what they're trying to do with their music. I just don't personally dig it, nor do I understand why so many people herald them to be the gods of their respective genre. Some truly heavy bands in my book as far as brutality is concerned would be; Cryptopsy, Decapitated, Gorguts, Dying Fetus, Pig Destroyer, Necrophagist, Psycroptic, etc. Neurosis doesn't share in that "brutal" sense of heaviness... but there is definitely a sense of weight and substance to their sound.
+Nathaniel Byers yup, they're not heavy in the sense that those (great) bands are, either. Like I said, if you have some degree of appreciation for the bands I mentioned before or for heavy, slow, Sabbathy stuff, I'd urge you to give Neurosis another chance. It doesnt help that their music is way "uglier" than a lot of the post-metal bands that were inspired by them, they just combine a whole host of elements, from electronic noise to spoken word to acoustic instruments like brass and strings to sludgy riffs to tribal drums to get you like thinking (about the end of the world) and feeling (mostly DOWN) and shit...kinda like the aforementioned Pink Floyd. Not much moshing going on in Neurosis concerts, at least now, plenty people tripping balls while being steamrolled by what sounds like a huge, slow bulldozer. With strings.
+Nathaniel Byers I've gotta admit that like you at one point I wasnt into them, I actually got into them through their first album (I really like hardcore punk though). It's just one of those bands that will either click for you or it won't. They're very respected because they came up with a very creative approach that fused diverse influences and predated a lot of other bands' styles, from crust punk to indie post-rock. Say what you will about their music but no one was playing this kind of shit back in the early to mid 90s, not even Swans.

nice taste
I came here because I felt I needed a truly transcendental experience on my birthday. I was not disappointed.
James The Animator happy birthday in three months. Also nice DEP pfp.
you could try making spaghetti with this RoxyRaye girls recipe if you want to get transcendent
In my eyes this is the greatest and most complete song of all times.
are you blind?
Listening to this feels your an astronaut that just got your lifeline severed from the ship and now your drifting further and further into the vast emtpiness of space
This song is sheer dread personified
space is fake, Copernicus lied
This is the best Heavy Metal song in the world.
My soundtrack during the early days of the pandemic along with Godspeed and Swans
This song always manages to "Purify" any anxiety, stress, and depression I may deal with. \m/

An amazing piece, what were they thinking? Yes, too good.
Came here while procrastinating. Certainly not time wasted.
The bagpipe outro has to be one of the finest moments of any metal album period. Such a shame they never break this one out live anymore.
along with the second half of Aeon, that part is probably the best in history of music, I also love your pfp
such power, such glory!!! the wind shall carry my soul over the mountain!
I got this album on release and straight away knew it was special. The artwork, titles, lyrics and music all fell into place nicely. Purify, to me is the heaviest song ever.
Saw this band open for PANTERA in 1997. Good show. \m/
YYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Lol Pantera should have opened for them
@@scottbird5050 fact
First time listening. This song KILLS 🤘
They said this is the heaviest of all time. I don't know. Maybe. But I did enjoy it, unlike most of those "heaviest songs ever." So yeah.
Soundtrack to the apocalypse
Nah that’s the title track
No this is thee apocalypse to thee soundtrack .
One of the best songs ever from one of the best 90s album
Never heard this band until I went to see them on a whim and now my life is fucked.
Fucking masterpiece
porcodio
this is why the band is called neurosis ImI
Have seen them twice, but probably not in years. They did a killer show at the old Trocadero Transfer in SF. Met Jello Biafra. Truck got broken into. Slept on a beach as the sun came up. Memorable evening.
my favorite song ever!
There is so much love in here.
Amazing song
04:35 here we fucking go!! Build up is incredible in this song!! ughhh

Try listening to Stoned Jesus. Ukrainian band (god damn wars!). I'm the Mountain transcended me at the workplace when I heard it first.
@@kapiljoshey8989 Yes, I know them, they're great for sure :)
One of the greatest to ever do it. All their albums are great. They tap into some primordial spirits when they write it seems.
love the ending
THIS IS COMPRESSED INSANITY ...ENRICHED INSANITY.....PURIFIED MADNESS
AWESOME TRACK!!!
Best final.
wonderful intro too !
A rather unique and chaotic piece, rather enjoyed this =)
Pure fucking energy...
Fall back to stone!
ART
saw these guys open for Entombed in uk NeuBastardRosis rule!"
Sound on my mind reminds me of a old Cortázar short story, about a 20 century Guy who out of blue, find himself being chase by natives from a another era.
What a fuking masterpiece
Days passed from the early 2000...
Play this at my funeral
I did ..rip buddy,you will be missed
Fuckin' shit, this song is amazing.
IMMENSI I NEUROSIS METAL FOREVER AND PUNK IS NOT DEAD 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤🖤❤🖤❤🖤❤🖤❤🖤❤🖤
My pick is " symptom of the universe" black sabbath but we will never agree it is UA-cam.
Why did they remove it from Spotify (sad smiley)
I came here for that very reason. Times of Grace is missing too. That's too bad 😔

This is the only song that would be acceptable to play at Satan's funeral
Fascinating comment. Are you sad about the fallen cherub's demise?
@@tikhongilson3770 Satan is the freedom revolutionary against the Big Brother called Heaven.
@@IHateUA-camHandlesVeryMuch Boomer take.
ey, Quaigon ..
guitar tone ? pls
How is this heavier than EYE tho?
I really want to get into Neurosis, but I despise hardcore punk. This song is incredible though.
Sam Socash It's post-metal officially, but the vocals may have an influence from hardcore punk.
Listen to the tide and stones from the sky.
Just go on and listen to them trust me

Its Neurosis. Its not anything else.
Can someone explain the song to me? I've seen it be referred to as one of the heaviest songs of all time but I'm not really all there with it
It really isn't dude. And Neurosis is easily the most overrated band of all time.
