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 and industrial music as well as incorporating elements of indie and folk music. The band is highly regarded as the primary pioneer of its genre, sometimes referred to as post-metal. Critic Brian Russ has described them as “atmospheric hardcore”.
In late 1985, Scott Kelly and Dave Edwardson (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.
Often experimental and psychedelic in nature, the visuals have added to the reputation of Neurosis’ live performances. Many of the visuals for their tours supporting Through Silver In Blood can be found in Ken Russell’s film Altered States.

Yikko said: "is it weird that I still like oceanic more than any neurosis album as a whole but like neurosis considerably more as a band?" no not really. Oceanic is fantastic. It's just that every Isis album after that feels like Turner's just treading the same water, sure the albums are getting more refined, but it's still the same formula. While Neurosis constantly evolve their sound without sounding the same on any two albums.

Whereas other metal bands merely throw rocks at your head the whole time, listening to Neurosis is like being slowly crushed by boulders placed on your chest.

Judging by your charts: the latest 3 albums (start with The Eye of Every Storm). If you like those check out their older stuff too.

I'm trying to get into them as every sludge enthusiast seems to claim that every other sludge act is just a dumbed down version of them. I really don't see the appeal(yet). What album should I start with?
