Neurosis release first new album in a decade, An Undying Love for a Burning World

Neurosis have returned after a lengthy hiatus with their first new album in a decade. Following 2016’s Fires Within Fires, the band have released An Undying Love for a Burning World. The new album is their first with Aaron Turner of Sumac, who plays guitar and vocals on the new album. It’s also their first since parting ways with Scott Kelly. Hear the new album in its entirety below.

A statement on the group’s Bandcamp page reads, “We need this, perhaps more than ever, and we suspect we are not alone. The trials and tribulations in our personal lives and as a band, combined with simply trying to navigate the insanity of our society, with the stress, anxiety, and isolation that come with it can be excruciating. Add to that the existential confusion and sorrow of the climate crisis and the sixth mass extinction. It is enough to cause you to completely lose your mind if you can’t find release or catharsis. This strange emotionally charged music has always been our method of trying to survive this and this is what we’ve always been singing about. When you have spent a lifetime engaged with these energies and utilizing this form of expression to purge and purify, it feels detrimental to our well being to let it sit idle and neglected. This was now or never.”

Neurosis will also be performing live for the first time since 2019, making an appearance at the Fire in the Mountains festival July 23-26 at Red Eagle Campground in East Glacier, Montana.

Vocalist/guitarist Steve Von Till said about the festival, “Using emotionally heavy music to build community and collectively stare darkness in the eye is something we have always believed in, but using it to directly address the heartbreaking reality of suicide, grief, loss and trauma is taking it to another level.”
