Extremely Limited Sludge Metal Record Releases – Spring 2007

NEUROSIS RETURNS!
The last album released by Neurosis was in 2004. The legendary sludge metal band is finishing up a brand new album and releasing some special gifts to mark their 20th anniversary of recording and playing together.
The new album, due may 2007, is called, “Given to the Rising”. There is one track available now for download :
Neurosis-WaterIsNotEnough.mp3

Neurot Recordings labels the band as “Bay Area’s legendary masters of behemoth, psychedelic operatic guitar girth” and describes the new album, recorded by the also-legendary engineer, Steve Albini, “some of the band’s most raw and immediate material to date, but it is also more complexly orchestrated and richly thickened with psych-damaged overtones.”

Please go to Neurot Recordings for more.
