Description

« We've forgotten how to live, so we suffer. » ("Nous avons oublié comment vivre, alors nous souffrons").'An Undying Love For A Burning World' is an epic album of colossal hypnotic power: magnificent, terrifying, and absolutely captivating, as only Neurosis can be. Aaron Turner (Sumac, Isis) joins the band on vocals and guitar; a name whose legacy is intimately linked to that of the band, a true kindred spirit.« He immediately got involved, contributing to the writing and offering ideas, » explains the band. « His energy is in perfect harmony with ours. It's as if he was always meant to be there. » Aaron adds: « From my first listen to Neurosis over 30 years ago, I knew this was the music my heart and mind were searching for without ever hearing it. Today, after exploring various musical horizons, the unique sound and spirit of Neurosis continue to resonate deep within my being. It is an honor and a true pleasure to have been so warmly welcomed into a band that has not only shaped my vision of the infinite possibilities of music, but has also embodied the paramount importance of creative integrity and camaraderie. »« We've forgotten how to struggle, so we suffer. » ("Nous avons oublié comment lutter, alors nous souffrons").Neurosis has never feared change and here embraces an endless regeneration, surrendering to the emotional exorcism stirred by the power and distortion of its music. Like the universe tending toward balance, Neurosis's cacophony of noise, rhythm, and dissonance always culminates in moments of beauty. The addition of Turner's powerful voice and his wildly creative and unbridled approach to the guitar proves to be a life force, with Neurosis once again at the mercy of evolution and expression.« We've forgotten we are wild, so we suffer. » ("Nous avons oublié notre nature sauvage, alors nous souffrons")In every track of their discography, Neurosis constantly oscillates between tension and release, evoking in the listener a feeling both bestial and transcendent. The band describes their writing process as an irresistible impulse to create together—a need rather than a choice. Moreover, Neurosis insists: their return is « not a reunion—we never separated. »The album was recorded by Scott Evans (Kowloon Walled City, Sumac, and Great Falls) at Studio Litho in Seattle over three weekends this winter, then mixed in just three days, six weeks before its release, at Evans's Antisleep Audio studio in Oakland.« We exist in isolation, so we suffer. » ("Nous existons isolés, alors nous souffrons").Neurosis will give their first concert in seven years on the ancestral lands of the Blackfeet Nation in Montana, as part of the Fire in the Mountains festival, by special invitation from Firekeeper Alliance, a non-profit organization working for suicide prevention among youth in Native American territory.FITM is a unique festival, renowned for its epic music set in grand landscapes. Its goal is to reconnect with nature, reconnect with ancestral roots, and strengthen our bond with humanity—an ambition that resonates deeply with the power of Neurosis.« I can't imagine a more fitting setting for our return to the stage, » comments Steve Von Till, also a board member of Firekeeper Alliance. « The previous edition of Fire in the Mountains was the most impactful musical event I have ever attended. The weekend took on a cathartic and ceremonial, almost healing dimension that is hard to describe. We have always believed in using powerful music to create connection and collectively face hardships, but using it to confront head-on the heartbreaking reality of suicide, grief, loss, and trauma is a whole other dimension. »« The dissonance is deafening. » ("La dissonance est assourdissante").
