Of all that humankind has inherited through our ancestry, no single language has transcended every age as powerfully as music. For thirty years, NEUROSIS has formed an unbreakable union, channeling that inheritance of sound with great command and authority. Showing their discontent with convention from the very beginning, NEUROSIS revealed what would become an instinct for transformation in sound and scope. Their sound has become interchangeable with vision of the conscious and unconscious, coexisting in an infinite audial spectrum. A vision that challenged not only the constraints of what listeners, and indeed the band themselves expected, but of themselves as beings. Going beyond the remarkable, NEUROSIS has become unforgettable.

The journey of their music has found the band relishing the unpredictable, embracing the unknown and exploring the possibility of where the music was capable of taking them. This year finds NEUROSIS taking a dominant leap with their eleventh full-length, Fires Within Fires. Three decades in the making, and following 2012’s Honor Found In Decay, the album is a testament both to the history and future of NEUROSIS. In true Ouroborean style, Fires Within Fires gives due to its predecessors while progressing forward into the unfamiliar and formidable. Striking the band’s signature balance between light and dark, beauty and repulsion, dense sonic heaviness and reflective space. Fires Within Fires is succinct, raw and deeply soulful, an all-encompassing reminder to all that transfiguration in sound remains their most commanding and inimitable strength.

Created by Scott Kelly, Steve Von Till, Jason Roeder, Noah Landis, and Dave Edwardson, “Fires Within Fires” features exquisite album artwork from the renowned Thomas Hooper, and the stellar recording work of the group’s longstanding engineer Steve Albini. The artwork and track listing for the album have this week been released.

“Fires Within Fires” Track Listing:

1. Bending Light

2. A Shadow Memory

3. Fire is the End Lesson

4. Broken Ground

5. Reach

“Fires Within Fires” is the next powerful step towards a destination that has long been and continues to be the very heart of “becoming” for NEUROSIS.

Neurot Recordings will release “Fires Within Fires” on September 23rd worldwide; audio samples, preorders, and further information on the album will be available very soon.

NEUROSIS will perform across Europe over the Summer months preceding the release of “Fires Within Fires”, and in addition, Steve Von Till has recently confirmed several European Summer performances as well.
