Neurosis

The experimental prognosticators' 1992 release is one distressing journey. Listening to Souls is kind of like feeling lost in the dark, when the possibility of ghosts becomes eerily real. Neurosis blast through mind-blowing orchestrations and long instrumental passages that build slowly and take unexpected turns through goth-inspired soundscapes before erupting into layered yells, tribal beats and fuzzy distortion. The urgency of "Flight" will make your heart pump with adrenaline, while the ominous calm of "Sterile Vision" will have you dreading an impending doom.
