Neurosis

I can’t agree with any boycotts of this band, fuck Scott Kelly, but the other guys worked too hard on this to let it all fade away. It’s not fair to the other members.

happiest oakland band:

I love Neurosis. They hit a spot in the emotional spectrum that most bands can’t even comprehend, let alone hit. For that, I will always have them in rotation. If somebody disagrees with that, it’s their business and I respect their opinion. It’s tough though, I grew up in an environment similar to what his kids probably experienced and it was fucking horrible. When you’re not getting the shit kicked out of you by a manipulative addict, you’re living in absolute dread and fear about getting the shit kicked out of you by a manipulative addict. That stays with you…..You don’t need to have experienced that type of pain to empathize but it adds a little bit of extra anger towards that loser for me. On top of that, you absolutely ruined the band name for your “brothers”. He turned to shit everything he touched and should have just walked into the ocean instead of ruining everyone’s life. Whatever little shithole he exiled himself to, I hope he never knows a moment of peace.

I didn't know the vocalist was a piece of shit. I suppose you can't wear now Neurosis merch without someone touching your balls.

well thats shit, i just downloaded through silver in blood and im already learning abt the drama, yikes.

Is Times of Grace not on Spotify for everyone or is it a regional thing?

getting to the point where I'm finally feeling comfortable listening to these guys again. ok maybe not entirely comfortable, but able to anyway. which is good because I really need this music sometimes.

"Through Silver in Blood" - индустриальный шедевр

anyone else love abusing their wife and children for fun

absolutely nuts run in the 90s

well more bad news, Jason Roeder is selling all of his equipment and appears to me retiring from music himself.

I found out about the Scott Kelly stuff way late and at first it didn't register, or I didn't know what to make of it. Soon, however, it became difficult to separate the art from the artist, and I found myself having to switch off the music halfway in between albums. Neurosis absolutely isn't one person, but that person has had a lot of influence on the music. And I can hear. It's like how "I want to run away, never say goodbye" (and every other lyric) became hard to listen to after Chester's passing.

kinda hope they come back with just Steve on vocals

For me, their art has become more subversive than ever. Obviously, I have a strong aversion to Scott's actions. However, Neurosis isn't just made up of him. I love this band and what it has conveyed to me for many years. Thank you, Neurosis.

"Neurosis was a post-metal band based in Oakland, CA, United States" they haven't disbanded

Awesome band

I remember the concert in Mexico City as one of the best expierences in my life. I’ts really a shame all the fucked up situation of Scott Kelly, but I really hope that the remaining members continue with the proyect because this band is just amazing.

they gotta put times of grace and silver n blood back on spotify dude

These guys really had a vision in terms of pushing the boundaries of heavy music. Really sucks that Scott is an abusive monster. At least we have more than enough albums to listen to since it's obvious they abandoned this project.

Their music sounds like two beards colliding

not forgiving RateYourMusic for making up the term "atmospheric sludge metal"

Their 1995 live show at CBGB's made me appreciate them even more than before, SOMEHOW

listening to neurosis' music can keep people away from doing harm to others, can prevent them from becoming another scott kelly.. a neurosis emerges from repressed needs and feelings, which everyone of us have in our subconsciousness, waiting for their bait. this band still helps me through dark times. a world without neuroses wouldn't need this band. to all those moralists - every single one of you carries some sort of guilt.

what's gonna become of neurosis? :(

Notice for all poseurs: people who play in sludge metal bands are often very dysfunctional.

That's a turn of events, I wasn't aware until recently, but I think we all suspected some sort of turmoil. Art is not the artist. All sorts of fucked up people do fantastic, even legendary work constantly. You can harvest the benefits of anything without seeing eye to eye with its maker, and pretty much everyone alive constantly does. My enjoyment of Neurosis was never tied to a "morality background check". What I get out of the music is mine alone, the members of Neurosis as individuals, separate from the Neurosis entity, can't change that.

Fortunately for us, they left us with some very good music.

Neurosis fans, go listen to the 90s sludge band Gigandhi from Denmark, you won't regret it

Havent listened to Neurosis for the good part of a decade. Hearing Scott Kelly leaving made me make a mad dash for what vinyls i could get my hands on. It feels good listening to them again.

Of all the harsh revelations regarding musicians I respected and loved, this is easily the most devastating. God dammit, Scott.

Worst possibe end to one of the best bands around. 35 years down the toilet

Fuck Scott Kelly. Fuck all abusers. Long live Neurosis.

Goddamn, can't like anybody anymore, feels like every month another artist I respect and love turns out to be a piece of shit. Thanks for fucking up your family and ruining one of the greatest bands ever, Scott. Fifteen years of fandom down the fucking drain, can't even listen to their stuff anymore knowing this shit. I guess you'd have to be fucked up to make music like theirs anyway, but I never thought he was the type the beat up his wife and kids. I guess the old adage "never meet your idols" holds true once again.

no... neurosis bros... not like this...

Ugh

" Compared to the impact of Scott’s actions on his family, the impact on our band pales in significance. Nevertheless, with the heartbreak and horror we also grieve for the loss of our life’s work and a legacy that was sacred to us." The rest of the band said it best, here, imo, and I think this is how it feels for fans too. This work and legacy meant a lot to so many people. It sucks to have that tarnished now and lose some of its meaning.

rip neurosis

he was out of the band in 2019: https://www.facebook.com/officialneurosis/posts/pfbid03MdMEKDudj3g3STbMFEcJnHmNeLTPQqXJYF6cVz6VMpQbLrHMkX4bYd6DW8WJ8pul
