Evolution can be ugly and beautiful, painful and euphoric. An Undying Love For A
Burning World is the first new release from Neurosis in a decade, and a potent
statement of intent and rebirth - one that marks the first new steps of resolve and
resilience.
An Undying Love For A Burning World is an epic album of colossal hypnotism -
beautiful, fearsome and utterly compelling in a way that only Neurosis can be. Aaron
Turner (Sumac, Isis) joins the band on vocals and guitar, a name whose legacy is
intertwined with the bands own and a true kindred spirit.

From the moment I first heard Neurosis over 30 years ago, I felt this was the music
my heart and mind had been seeking but not yet heard. Now after many years
travelling along various musical paths of my own, the singular sound and spirit
embodied by Neurosis continues to speak to the depths of my being. It is an honor
and a true pleasure to have been welcomed so warmly into a band that not only
shaped my perspective on the limitless possibilities of music - but has lived and
exemplified the necessity of upholding creative integrity and camaraderie above all
else. - AARON TURNER
Neurosis have never been afraid of change, and here they embrace endless
regeneration, surrendering to the emotional exorcism through heaviness and
distortion that their music incites. Just as the universe tends towards balance,
Neurosiscacophony of noise, rhythm and dissonance always resolves towards
moments of beauty. The addition of Turner's powerful vocals and wildly creative and
unhinged approach to guitar proves to be a vital force as Neurosis find themselves
again at the mercy of evolution and expression.
On every song in the bands history, Neurosis shifts restlessly between tension and
relief, invoking a feeling both feral and transcendent in listeners. The band describe
their songwriting process as an inescapable impulse to create with each other - a
need rather than a choice. Indeed, the band insist that their return is not a reunion -
we never broke up.
The album was recorded by Scott Evans (Kowloon Walled City, Sumac, and Great
Falls) at Studio Litho in Seattle during three weekends this winter, and mixed in three
days just six weeks before release at Evan's Antisleep Audio in Oakland.
Neurosis will play their first show in seven years on the traditional lands of the
Blackfeet Nation in Montana as part of Fire in the Mountains festival by special
invitation of Firekeeper Alliance, a non-profit dedicated to reducing youth suicide in
Indian Country.
FITM, is a unique festival known for bringing epic music to epic landscapes with the
intent of reconnecting and immersing oneself with the natural world, and
strengthening our ancestral roots as human beings - an aim which aligns directly with
Neurosis deep-rooted power.
