Explained simply
Neurosis is an influential American band that has pioneered a distinctive approach to heavy music since the 1980s. The group has built a dedicated international following and significantly influenced countless other musicians working across rock and metal.
The band had not released any new studio material since 2012 and had stopped touring, with no live dates for more than a year. This gap in both live performances and fresh recordings had left fans waiting for some indication of the group's future plans.
The band has now returned to both recording and performing, with a new album, Fires Within Fires, in preparation and live dates resuming. For a band with such a longstanding devoted fanbase, the return to activity and the opportunity to hear newly composed material represents a significant moment.
