Included in STRENGTH & VISION:
ALL 11 studio records on 3 LPs and 8 2xLPs

106-page book with all original artworks, lyric booklets etc
Passing their three decade mark this month, NEUROSIS has confirmed that the band will be returning to Electrical Audio in Chicago with engineer Steve Albini on December 27th to record their forthcoming brand new LP, their follow up to 2012's Honor Found In Decay. Additional details on the album and its approximate release in 2016 will be revealed in the early months of the year.
NEUROSIS will celebrate their thirty-year milestone with a series of performances where they will deliver a massive two-hour set list, invoking material spanning their entire recorded lineage, from 1987’s Pain Of Mind through 2012’s Honor Found In Decay, with varied set lists at each event. These sets will span the band’s entire career, showcasing the comprehensive evolution, from their primitive beginnings into the seminal, epic outfit of today, as the band’s ever evolving, sonic palette has become a genre-defying template for underground music over the last three decades, avoiding genre classification.
NEUROSIS has added a third show at the Regency Ballroom in their origin of San Francisco in March. The newly-confirmed third show will take place on Sunday, March 6th, at the Regency Ballroom. NEUROSIS has selected special opening acts to open this show, today confirming the participation of longtime Detroit hardcore punk legends, Negative Approach, as well as extremely influential Salem-based punk/metal experimenters, Converge. Tickets for the March 6th show will go on sale January 6th at 10 am PST. The previously announced show March 3rd with support from Sleep and March 4th with support from Shellac have both sold out.
The following month, NEUROSIS will headline two nights at the mighty Roadburn Festival in Holland, April 16th and 17th, again bringing their thirtieth anniversary sets to fans, with those shows led by special solo performances by guitarist/vocalists Scott Kelly and Steve Von Till together on April 15th.
NEUROSIS has also announced an additional set of European tour dates separate from the thirtieth anniversary performances, returning to the European continent for a run of festival performances in August, including Festa Radio Onda D'Urto in Italy, Oya Festival in Norway, Motocultor Festival in France and Amplifest in Portugal.

Belgium's COLIN H VAN EECKHOUT (Church of Ra) and SCOTT KELLY (Neurosis) will be touring Europe together this coming January, marking the first time Kelly has embarked on a solo tour since 2012. Both artists will be performing in very different guises from their respective bands, presenting stripped back and intimate, personal music from their own songbooks. Find all dates below...
CHVE recently released his debut solo album Rasa, available through Consouling Sounds and Tartarus Records (listen through their Bandcamp). Comprised of his voice and the hurdy-gurdy, Rasa is a series of droning, ambient soundscapes that dig deeper than folk, directly into the consciousness of Eeckhout.
Scott Kelly will be releasing two records to coincide with the tour via My Proud Mountain; the Spirit Bound Flesh LP will be available on vinyl for the first time, limited to 400 solid red and 300 black, as well as the arrival of Push Me On To The Sun, containing three brand new songs on a one sided, etched 12“ vinyl.
Scott Kelly says of the upcoming dates: "Getting a chance to come back to Europe is always an honor and it's a place where I have always felt so much support for any artistic project that I have created. I very much look forward to traveling and performing with my brother Colin H van Eeckhout, he and I are like minded in art and values and I believe we will bring a significant show to each town we play. It's been quite a few years of my and Colin's friendship leading up to this moment I feel like the weight of this will be felt. I'm very much looking forward to this experience."
