Neurosis will be releasing its first album in four years, titled Fires Within Fires, on September 23 via Neurot Recordings. The album's artwork was done by Thomas Hooper, whose work you might know from Tombs' Savage Gold or Doomriders' Darkness Come Alive, and the record was engineered by longtime collaborator Steve Albini.
Here's what the band had to say about the record on its website.
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.
The artwork you see above looks pretty badass, though the tracklist is where things get interesting – the entire full-length is five songs long. So either all these tracks are pretty lengthy, or there are a few seriously massive tunes thrown into the mix this time around. Not that Neurosis is known for succinct tracks that are jammed 30-plus deep into every single album… so now we await the album's first single.
