Neurosis – The Word As Law

Neurosis is an American avant-garde metal band from Oakland, California, formed in 1985. The style Neurosis pioneered has been named post-metal, characterised by an expansive, progressive and often apocalyptic sound, adding alien sounds, oddball instrumentation and atmospheric depth to [the] viscerally crushing approach of sludge metal. The BBC credited them with taking “heavy music to previously unimaginable spaces … [and shaping] metal’s definitive response to the 21st century.” The Word as Law is their second studio album. It was released in 1990 and marks the band’s transition from their hardcore punk roots to the more experimental sound that will define their sound in the years to come.
