If you like early neurosis at all, check out amebix (neurosis LOVES them, their favorite band I think), his hero is gone and nausea. Thats anarcho/crust. Im picky about it, I only really really like his hero is gone, amebix, tragedy and cetascean.
Totally get your point though. At the end of hte day, its all the one thing. Everything is a conglomeration.
Actually Scott Kelly has done a few songs with Mastodon. Troy even cites Neurosis' "Times of Grace" as the main reason he makes music. Do they sound alike? Not really, but you don't have to sound like something to derive great influence from them.
it really is a very great song, i enjoy it alot. when i first heard i was all excited about the first part with the heavy guitar,and awesome rythm. but now i love the chorus where things get very calm and medatative. great song
We stand encircled by wing and fire
Our deepest ties return and turn upon us
The shrouded reason, the bleeding answer
The human plague in womb
Bring clouds of war
Let us rest
Our future breed is the last
In the conscience waits
Dreams of the new sun
We're blood in the dust
Given to the Rising
Through this we claw roots
Of trees in the world of iron
Our fathers steps fueled the boiling sea
The wretched harvest reaped by the hands of dawning
Our pain cannot forgive the silent machine of the fatal flaw in man
That brings us to the end
Our father's steps fueled the boiling sea.
The wretched harvest reaped by the hands of dawning.
Our pain cannot forgive the silent machine of the fatal flaw in man.
That brings us to the end...
I have the sense with these groups, NEUROSIS, ISIS and MINSK that i am travelling through SPACE AND TIME back and forward. My mind is filling with images and situations.We are GRATEFUL, for your contribution in METAL music, with your albums.
Mastodon have always cited Neurosis as a major influence, but you're right- they've rightly walked a path which is very much their own. It was Scott's appearances on their albums along with the praise that they and ISIS have given for Neurosis that brought me here. So far, I'm certainly glad it did.
