Given To The Rising

Now in it's third decade of innovative noisy psychedelic-metallic thunder, Neurosis is more than just a powerful band - it's a religious experience. GIVEN TO THE RISING is like being submerged in an isolation tank - it envelopes, subverting the senses with surreal visions we'd swear were our own, cleverly jarring and disorienting consciousness beyond any footing in reality. Just as any diehard Neurosis fan will tell you, there's a moment with every new record and live show at which the band stops as if the world has frozen in position, then suddenly kicks into a behemoth wail that forces one's head and shoulders to lurch and sway uncontrollably. GIVEN TO THE RISING is a sound borne of that captivating and transcendent moment.
