Neurosis - Given To The Rising

*Unquestionably one of the most important (Post) Metal releases of 2007.
Produced by Steve Albini, this is a career landmark album for a band who have
influenced and inspired a new generation, including Isis, Mastodon, Sepultura
and Cult Of Luna, to name a few.
*CONFIRMED AS ROCK SOUND ALBUM OF THE MONTH WITH 9/10 REVIEW:
"FOR OVER 20 YEARS THE BAY AREA TITANS HAVE STOOD AT THE FOREFRONT OF INNOVA
-TION IN HEAVY MUSIC, DISPLAYING THE KIND OF VISION AND CREATIVITY THAT MOST
BANDS CAN ONLY DREAM OF. THE SENSE OF SCALE CONVEYED IN THEIR MUSIC IS UNPARALL
-ELED; THEIR INFLUENCE ON TODAY'S MUSIC SCENE INCALCULABLE. `GIVEN TO THE
RISING' IS THE CULMINATION OF EVERYTHING NEUROSIS HAVE LEARNT OVER THE YEARS,
FUSING THE PRIMAL AGGRESSION OF THEIR EARLIER WORK WITH THE ADVANCED DYNAMIC
SENSIBILITIES OF THE NEW..."
*Neurosis need no introduction. The Bay Area's legendary masters of behemoth,
psychedelic operatic guitar girth have influenced a wide array of artists and
nearly single-handedly defined vast extremes of heavy music popular today.
*However, now in their third decade, Neurosis' latest album finds the group's
sound transforming yet again - so dramatically that even to diehard fans, Given
To The Rising might seem starkly different, a stunning reintroduction.
*This album is some of the band's most raw and immediate material to date, but
it is also more complexly orchestrated and richly thickened with psych-damaged
overtones. Given To The Rising is more than a just a powerful collection of
songs -- it's more like a religious experience.
*Given To The Rising is Neurosis' first studio album to appear entirely on
Neurot worldwide since Soverign seven years ago.
*FORMATS : Exceptionally beautiful packaging on three formats; Limited Gatefold
Double LP, regular jewel-case CD in O-card and Very Limited (1500 ONLY!) gate
-fold LP style CD wallet.
