If you are unfamiliar with Neurosis, they're a band who are renowned for their attitude to progressive heavy as hell metal, who have influenced everyone from Sunn 0))), Isis and Masterdon. The new album bears the band's signature crushing heft and cathartic force. However, it also finds Neurosis delving into increasingly psychedelic effects and twisted, inventive song structures. Much of the dramatic lull of recent works is forgone in favor of full-on attack. While it's reflective of the bands signature aggressive pummeling, 'Given To The Rising' is not just an exercise in Wagnerian thunder. Neurosis instead takes an exploration into psychoactive prog-rock and eviscerating symphonic thud that moves well beyond anything that might fit snugly within a particular genre. It's as though the band has taken cues from such psych-noise predecessors as Hawkwind, Faust, Skullflower and Chrome, merged those elements with the sickening frequency assault of Throbbing Gristle and then submerged them within Neurosis' saturated sonic strata. With Steve Albini as producer in tow, they have created an album that's really quite stunning and heavy, aggressively emotional and cathartic. Superb stuff.
