Neurot Records does well in finding bands aligned with the vision of its founders, the mighty Neurosis—and this California outfit is no exception. The…

Kowloon Walled City – Grievances
I had read somewhere that Kowloon Walled City‘s new album, Grievances, is a concept album about office culture, workplace conflict and the rat race. You…
Ufomammut – Ecate
I’ve been a big Ufomammut fan, ever since the release of their 2010 album, Eve. Their earlier work was much harder to find on…
Ides of Gemini – Old World New Wave
I’ll admit, I kinda slept on this album, which actually came out back in September. But the L.A. trio’s debut, Constantinople, left enough of…
YOB – Clearing the Path to Ascend
YOB is one of those names where I expect quality before I even take off the shrinkwrap. Only in this case, it’s been a while;…
Stoneburner – Life Drawing
Stoneburner is yet another act amongst the multitude of sludge bands oozing outta Portland, so expect the inevitable comparisons to YOB and Witch Mountain….
Corrections House – Last City Zero
By Gruesome Greg Q: What do you get when you put Mike Williams, Scott Kelly, Bruce Lamont and Sanford Parker in one building? A:…
Neurosis – Honor Found in Decay
This is still a “metal” album, just one that defies quick-and-easy categorization. Not for the faint of spirit, but a long, strange trip for the rest of us…
Nate Hall – A Great River
A Great River is raw and jagged, and yet beautifully serene in parts. It’s as incongruent and temperamental as any of our hearts, and Hall tears his chest wide open on the album, unafraid to express his own shortcomings and fears in the hunt for peace and fulfillment.
Scott Kelly: The Hellbound Interview (2012)
When Hellbound caught up recently with Scott Kelly the Neurosis co-founder and solo artist was returning from camping in the Oregon woods. He wasn’t looking forward to working later that evening. “I’m not that excited to get back into the world again,” Kelly said. If anyone has earned some down time this year it’s Kelly. He’s released an acoustic album with The Road Home (The Forgiven Ghost In Me) and was one of three artists featured on a Neurot collection celebrating folk artist Townes Van Zandt. The new Neurosis album Honor Found In Decay will be released in late October, and Neurosis is likely to emerge for a few select shows this winter. We talked to Kelly about playing solo and the power of a man alone in the universe – whether in a fighting cage or on a stage.
