Neurosis

1) Neurosis is a post-metal band based in Oakland, CA, United States. Their unique sound draws influences from sludge, progressive metal, hardcore punk, tribal and even ambient and industrial music. They are often considered as pioneers of post-metal. To date, the band have released twelve full-length studio albums as well as a number of live albums, split records, and EPs. In late 1985, Scott Kelly, Dave Edwardson and Jason Roeder (formerly members of Violent Coercion) founded the band as a hardcore outfit, borrowing from British crust punk.
