NEUROSIS Prepares For Denver And Austin Performances

As NEUROSIS continues to dominate audiences across the US in support of their commended tenth studio LP,Honor Found In Decay, the band’s impending performances in Denver, Colorado and Austin, Texas are now only days away.

Opening support for NEUROSIS’ show at Denver’s Summit Music Hall on Saturday, February 16th will be provided by locally-based instrumental heavy rock quintet Native Daughters, as well as folk//gospel-inspired Americana of Munly & The Lupercalians, featuring Jay Munly of Slim Cessna's Auto Club.

NEUROSIS’ Emo’s East show in Austin Sunday, February 17th will feature opening support from Little Rock, Arkansas’ apocalyptic sludge harbingers Rwake. Direct support will be provided by legendary Houston-based noise/industrial punks The Pain Teens! Having only reunited for a Trance Syndicate label reunion in late 2012, the eclectic act’s special performance will significantly enhance the evening, as The Pain Teens and NEUROSIS have not shared the stage since 1991.

On the Summer solstice, NEUROSIS is confirmed to take part in 2013’s installment of the massive Hellfest festival in Clisson, France. The gathering runs from June 21st through 23rd, and will see NEUROSIS sharing the stage with Kiss, ZZ Top, Down, Bad Religion, At The Gates, Kreator and hundreds more.

Incredible footage from NEUROSIS’ recent live offensives in January has surfaced. View “At The Well” and “Locust Star” from Brooklyn’s Masonic Temple, “The Tide” at Philadelphia’s Union Transfer, as well as incredible multi-camera footage of “At The Well” from the Oakland Metro on New Year’s Eve as captured by Kenneth Thomas (Given To The Rising documentary, etc.) and more AT THIS LOCATION.

IDES OF GEMINI Announce North America 2013 Tour With Ghost

West Coast ethereal doom trio IDES OF GEMINI are pleased and honored to announce a full tour this Spring supporting cult metalists, Ghost. Dubbed the Haze Over North America 2013 tour, the three-week run will commence on April 18th in Denver, Colorado, with additional IDES headlining dates to be announced in the coming weeks. The jaunt follows the band’s successful month-long trek through Europe last Fall and an opening slot with legendary sound revolutionaries Neurosis in January.

Notes guitarist/backing vocalist J. Bennett of the upcoming journey: "Ghost’s Opus Eponymous is the ultimate liturgical canon for our fair young century — catchy as hell, too — and we couldn't be more thrilled to traverse the continent with them. Keeping secrets is one of our favorite pastimes, so touring with an anonymous band is especially satisfying for us. Plus, we get along famously with Satanists. In other words: Aces all around."

IDES OF GEMINI will be touring in support of their transcendental doom masterwork, Constantinople. Released stateside via Neurot Recordings last Spring, Constantinople was fittingly commended by Outburn for its "depressing dynamics topped by ethereal wonderment," and called, "…a dirg-y doom crawl of an album…," by Decibel. Pitchfork crowned it, "darkly beautiful," while MetalSucks applauded the offering noting, "Their accretion of small musical gestures inverts metal’s normal use of space. They imply terror without ever exposing it. Each song is an accumulation of outlines, a sort of sonic daguerreotype." Spin agreed stating, "Processional doom, ethereal female harmonies and high-strung riffs incite head-bowing, not –banging," while About.com noted: "…a proverbial treasure chest in terms of atmosphere, ideas and contrasting musical textures…original and breathtaking."

NEUROSIS Prepares To Engage Brooklyn and Philadelphia Audiences Next Week

The next round of live performances from the mighty NEUROSIS draws near, as the outfit prepares to invade the Northeast for shows in Brooklyn and Philadelphia next week.

Next Saturday, January 19th NEUROSIS will return to the historic Masonic Temple in Brooklyn, the venue they nearly tore to the ground when they last played in New York with a pair of shows in early 2008 with openers Mastodon. On this trek the opening support for NEUROSIS will be provided by the scathing drum/guitar attack of ex-Khanate/Khlyst duo James Plotkin and Tim Wyskida on their new experimental venture in auditory torture.

The following day, Sunday January 20th, the quintet will devastate audiences in Philadelphia’s cavernous Union Transfer venue, marking the first NEUROSISperformance to hit the city since late 2004! Opening support for this special show will come from the solo act of John Baizley of Baroness. This will mark one of the very first performances from Baizley since before the massive bus crash the band has been recovering from slowly since mid-August.

Opening support for NEUROSIS’ following live actions next month in Denver and Austin have also been confirmed, with Native Daughters and Jay Munly leading the festivities in Denver on February 16th, and the brutal billing of Eyehategod and Rwake kicking things off at the Austin show on the 17th. The band has also been confirmed for 2013’s installment of the massive Hellfest festival in Clisson, France. The gathering runs from June 21st through 23rd, and will see NEUROSIS sharing the stage with Kiss, ZZ Top, Down, Bad Religion, At The Gates, Kreator and hundreds more.

NEUROSIS treated spectators in their native hometown of Oakland to a free, invite-only concert on New Year’s Day, catching many longtime fans by surprise. View new live footage of the performance and more below.
