For the first time in about a decade, Neurosis — yes, that Neurosis — has released a new album titled An Undying Love for a Burning World. No, we in the metal press didn’t see this shit coming, so this is just as much a shock to the system for us as it is for you. The album’s available on all digital streaming platforms and available for physical preorder through the band’s Neurot Recordings.
Though this is one of the least expected reunions to happen in 2026, it must be said that it’s not a complete reunion. The band opted not to bring back Scott Kelly after all the shit he pulled, so they recruited ISIS’ Aaron Turner to handle vocals and guitar for the band.
“We need this, perhaps more than ever, and we suspect we are not alone. The trials and tribulations in our personal lives and as a band, combined with simply trying to navigate the insanity of our society, with the stress, anxiety, and isolation that come with it can be excruciating. Add to that the existential confusion and sorrow of the climate crisis and the sixth mass extinction. It is enough to cause you to completely lose your mind if you can’t find release or catharsis. This strange emotionally charged music has always been our method of trying to survive this and this is what we’ve always been singing about. When you have spent a lifetime engaged with these energies and utilizing this form of expression to purge and purify, it feels detrimental to our well-being to let it sit idle and neglected. This was now or never.”
Turner’s inclusion in the band will have him performing directly adjacent to other guitarist/vocalist Steve Von Till, drummer Jason Roeder, bassist Dave Edwardson, and keyboard player Noah Landis. In a prepared statement, Turner said his involvement in Neurosis was a major step for him as a metal fan and musician.
“From the moment I first heard Neurosis over 30 years ago, I felt this was the music my heart and mind had been seeking but not yet heard. Now after many years traveling along various musical paths of my own, the singular sound and spirit embodied by Neurosis continues to speak to the depths of my being. It is an honor and a true pleasure to have been welcomed so warmly into a band that not only shaped my perspective on the limitless possibilities of music – but has lived and exemplified the necessity of upholding creative integrity and camaraderie above all else.”
When it comes to the new album, An Undying Love for a Burning World boasts eight new songs, with the last two spanning more than 28 minutes in length. As mentioned before, you can hear the whole thing right now on your favorite digital streaming platform or you can preorder your physical copy right now. Wild shit.
