Times Of Grace by Neurosis Reissue Limited Edition 180 Gram 2 LP Black/Oxblood Split 2015
Only 650 copies exist of this color variant.
There’s heavy and then there’s Neurosis. For thirty years original band members Scott Kelly, Dave Edwarson and Jason Roeder have gradually disciplined their abrasive style, whilst curbing the rapid blasts of earlier works like ‘Pain In Mind’ in the process. Despite bidding farewell to their hardcore roots over two decades ago, Oakland’s Neurosis continues to attract a visible mixture of crust punks and metalheads to their thunderous din.
Without a doubt, their 1999 album Times of Grace, released on Relapse, stands out as the definitive Neurosis record. Although their five previous studio albums pushed heaviness to every extreme, it’s their sixth effort which encapsulates the recognisable Neurosis sound. It’s the sound of a band exercising self-restraint. Each single note on this album is deliberate and direct, and there is nothing left out of place. Even when drums and guitars battle for dominance during Times of Grace’s most crushing moments, an eerie harmony preserves the cohesive nature of the music.
It’s suggested that the introduction of Steve Albini to the recording process helped Neurosis unlock this forceful style of writing. Albini, a production guru, has built a reputation unearthing many a band’s innate talent and consequently brings much needed focus to song writing proceedings. Sonically, you can thank Albini again for the raw production qualities that have kept Neurosis a firm favourite within the underground. His punk-as-fuck credentials have clearly rubbed off on Neurosis as they steer clear of slick metal production techniques that leave albums sounding flat and over processed. The success of this partnership has seen Albini return to his role as producer on every Neurosis record following the release of Times of Grace.
