Neurosis - Aeon download song

Perfect thought and feeling is what we strive for. Will it ever be achieved in truthful personal honesty. Some day it will be perfection.

Every time I listen to this its like a cleansing flood washing away all the crap on my soul. It reminds me standing at the coast watching a storm tide in the middle of the day; sky and water all black chaos just the sea spray shone white like purest clouds, when out of a sudden the black clouds opened up and solid beams of light pierced through. The people of Tuva (south Siberia) have a word for that effect - Hun-Huur-Tu.

I try to explain music like this to my girlfriend. I try to tell her that there are different kinds of heavy. Bands like Pantera or Slayer are thick and headbangable. But music like this, it transcends that. It's hypnotic. It's the musical equivalent of watching the world end. While i'm a live and let live kinda dude, I genuinely sometimes feel bad for people who've never heard music carry them away the way Neurosis can.

You know, it's funny. When listening to other music, I (like, of course) many others, experience a varying degree of emotions, but with tracks like this, I get nothing. It's just a void. A hopeless, empty, vacuum filled void... And I love it.. It shows the true power of music and the genius that is Neurosis.

As a fan of all types of metal, I recommend post-metal, of which Neurosis is the founding father. Bands like the aforementioned Neurosis, ISIS, The Ocean, Buried Inside, Rosetta, and Mouth of the Architect produce sophisticated, paradoxically softly heavy masterpieces, much like the one you see here. Also check out Explosions in the Sky, a post-rock band that produces this kind of ambient audial art in the form of instrumental songs.

I remember the moment, almost 15 years ago, when I discovered the album Through silver in blood, and most importantly this track, I was utterly blown away as a teenager and continue to be to this very day. Some music has a life span with a person... and some.. will never fade.

I played the cello on this track. It was an incredible experience and show, a long time ago.

6:55- end .. O_O

Neurosis is something else.. Lucky are those who felt that..

I think this song contains all of the best Neurosis elements, beautiful emotional textures, pure anger, tribal drumming and epic passages. Listening through to a Neurosis song or album is like a journey

5:55 Dropping bomb, last second of silence. 6:11 Blast, heat, building to ashes, trees tored from ground. 6:26 Brighter than a thousand suns 6:56 Monuental and scary cloud, city in ruins, fire everywhere. 10:00 Holy father we have sinned...

Neurosis always does such a good job with the sound of their drums, 8:05~9:50 is crazy

The sound of the universe ending.

I've always loved this band. Every track is a masterpiece. It definitely has stand the test of time.

This is the end

best outro in the entire history of music

6:55 perhaps the most atmospheric piece of music I've ever heard. This band takes primitive, ugly and outright weird components and ideas and combine them into amazing art.

This is a masterpiece.

Really sounds like it could have been on Souls At Zero.
