Oakland, San Francisco CA, United States (1985 – present)
Neurosis is an experimental metal band, based in Oakland, CA. Their unique sound draws from influences ranging from hardcore punk and doom metal to dark ambient, progressive rock and industrial music as well as incorporating elements of post-punk and folk music. The band is highly regarded as the primary pioneer of its genre, sometimes referred to as either atmospheric sludge or post-metal. Critic Brian Russ has described them as “atmospheric hardcore”.
In late 1985, Scott Kelly, Dave Edwardson and Jason Roeder (formerly members of Violent Coercion) founded the band as a hardcore outfit, borrowing from British crust punk. It has gradually progressed through a variety of styles, arriving at a mixture of heavy metal and acoustic, minimalistic ambiance which has proved influential on the doom metal scene.
From 1990 to 1993, Adam G. Kendall was recruited to create the visuals and perform live with the band. Following his departure from touring, Pete Inc. took over the job, although Kendall continued to contribute visuals for the band until as late as 1997. Kendall also shot the footage for the “Locust Star” video. Josh Graham took over live visuals in early 2000, and is still with the band to date, having also done album artwork for 2004’s The Eye of Every Storm and 2007’s Given to the Rising.

Critic Brian Russ has described them as “atmospheric hardcore”. (quote from Bio) I'd say, Brian the critic should have tried a bit harder. a 16-year-old would call it atmospheric hardcore. Someone with any taste and knowledge in music would be left speechless.

Yeah, the Eye of Every Storm is by far their worst album and the only one I would consider bad. Dull, meandering pile of pretentious shite.
